Mobile, Cell, Phone, PDA, iPhone Style

vBulletin 4.0 version here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228986

A very cut back style with very low bandwidth usage which renders well on pretty much all small screen devices from old Nokias to new iPhones.

• Supports viewing and replying to messages in Social Groups

• Supports other stuff too ....

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you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found!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...
• I suggest you also install this add-on to this style to get more out of it...
• 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

• Extend and Customise Mobile 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

• Mobile Phone / iPhone / PDA Detection and Style Assignment

  Will automatically detect a mobile device and force the user to use a pre-defined style

• Different Domain, Different Style

  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
  

• Limit Posts/Thread per Page for a Specific Style

  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.
  

• How to hide a style from style chooser

  This template edit will allow you to 'hide' a style from the Style Chooser so users can't select a specified style.

So this is only an update for vb 4.0? Any chance of releasing a 3.8x version as there are many people not upgrading to 4.0.

Cheers!

[dartho]

this version works fine on 3.8

[texasf1racer]

Perhaps I am mistaken this for something else. I thought there were many templates that needed to be updated for 3.8. My apologies if I am incorrect.

[Biker_GA]

While vB3.8 may complain about needing to update templates, the style still works perfectly fine. I'm using it on my live site and my users love it.

Is there any way to allow smiley images to show, but still replace all other images with a link? I'm guessing that's too complex of a scenario.

The only solution I could come up with would be to change the way vbulletin converts the smileys to html. Something like '<img alt="" src="..." /> to escape the replacement varialbes. But I have no clue how to go about it.

[dartho]

Thats right - you can edit the includes/class_bbcode.php file and find and replace as follows - this will be in the file TWICE:

MAKE A BACKUP OF THE FILES BEFORE EDITING!

if ($this->is_wysiwyg())
				{
					$replace = "<img src=\"$smilie[smiliepath]\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" title=\"" . htmlspecialchars_uni($smilie['title']) . "\" smilieid=\"$smilie[smilieid]\" class=\"inlineimg\" />";
				}
				else
				{
					$replace = "<img src=\"$smilie[smiliepath]\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" title=\"" . htmlspecialchars_uni($smilie['title']) . "\" class=\"inlineimg\" />";
				}

and replace with

if ($this->is_wysiwyg())
				{
					$replace = "<img border=\"0\" alt=\"\" title=\"" . htmlspecialchars_uni($smilie['title']) . "\" smilieid=\"$smilie[smilieid]\" class=\"inlineimg\" src=\"$smilie[smiliepath]\" />";
				}
				else
				{
					$replace = "<img border=\"0\" alt=\"\" title=\"" . htmlspecialchars_uni($smilie['title']) . "\" class=\"inlineimg\" src=\"$smilie[smiliepath]\" />";
				}

Indeed it does work with 3.8, however it's just annoying to see something like 45 templates that need to be updated every time you log into the admincp. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for the skin - but I just got an email from vb.org informing me this had been updated and was a little confused to log in and find that it has only been updated for 4.0 which is still in beta, but there was no update for 3.8x. No worries though, we will make do with the skin as is.

To the developer, cheers for your efforts, we do enjoy the skin.

[dartho]

I did the 4.0 update as teh 3.7 version was NOT compatible with 4.0

I'll release this as a 3.8 style also - no changes, just updated version numbers. probably tonight.

Another great piece of news. One of the many, many reasons I choose and recommend vBulletin above all others.
