Notes
If you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found! errors, see Post #329 for more information...
To modify the colour scheme of this style, you have to edit the wireless.css file by hand
If you use a portal such as vbadvanced which you wish to disable in mobile style, see here

Install Instructions
Save attached XML to your local computer
Save attached wireless.css.txt, rename to wireless.css and upload to your forum root
In AdminCP go to "Styles and Templates"
In the "Import Style XML File" section browse to where you saved the XML
Click "Import" button
Come back to this page and click "Mark as Installed"
Other useful Add-ons to use in Conjunction with this style
This is a companion add-on designed specifically for this style which allows you to customise some aspects of it without the need to edit templates. Only works with version 0.0.8 and above
Will force the user to a predefined style based on URL visited (eg. visiting mobile.yourdomain.com will force the user to use a pre-defined mobile style wilst www.yourdomain.com will display your defaultstyle to the user
Will set the maximum number of posts and threads displayed on a page based on a style. Whilst you may want to display 25 threads per page on a desktop, a small screen/mobile device would probably benefit from only showing 5 - 10 threads per page.
This conversation should probably be moved to teh autodetect add-on thread as it is outside the scope of this style.
As an aside - anyone get the email from Jelsoft today re: presales of vb4.0 ? Had and intersting tidbit at the end

I'm guessing this means they'll be looking at having a mobile friendly version built in - Yay!
When a person's OS "isn't working," and they visit http://vbdev.org/test-mob-detect.php, what part of the information that site replies back with do we add to "Custom/User Defined Useragent String" to get it to work? It seems like a user running Bold's 5.0 OS is having some trouble, though others seem to be fine with it. I'm awaiting his response back from that link but I'm not sure exactly what part of if to put in that box. Thanks.
The 'trick' is to find a unique part of the user agent string to add to the Custom area. For example if it reported:
HTTP_USER_AGENT: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; PalmSource/Palm-D062; Blazer/4.5) 16;320x320
You'd guess that eitehr Palm or PalmSource or maybe Blazer would be unique to mobile devices, so you could add one or all of them
or with
Opera/9.80 (J2ME/MIDP; Opera Mini/4.2.14912/756; U; en)
Presto/2.2.0 You maty want to try Mini or Presto (as it turns out, J2ME and MIDP are already keywords - but doubling up doesn;t have any bad side effects)
Yeah, sorry, I got mixed up with the threads since I'm using both this and your auto-detector. Since you responded here, I guess the key is just to find something unique about the useragent and add that?
