A lightweight *forum only style aimed at small screen devices such as Windows Smartphones, Nokias and even iPhones. It has VERY low bandwidth requirements - 15 times less on my site - 20K as opposed to 300K for forumhome.
*forum only - I have done a very small amount of rough work on CMS templates, a simple single column CMS *could* be created to work with this style without too much effort. However I am not sure if you can have a different CMS layout dependent on which style you are using?
This is an update to the mobile style I have previously released.
The changes are predominantly aesthetic to take advantage of larger screens.
It is also much easier to change colour schemes by editing the commented CSS file.
This is a a lightweight style and as such has much reduced functionality/information over the default vBulletin style.
Install instructions:
Firstly, if upgrading, I recommend installing this as a new style rather than overwriting your previous install. This way you get to test it first without trashing your existing style.
BACKUP YOUR EXISTING lightweight.css.php FILE IF YOU HAVE CSS CUSTOMISATIONS
Download ZIP file
Unzip to a local/temp directory
Edit lightweight.css.php file to customise colours if required
Upload contents of the upload directory in the zip file folder to your forum root.
Install style XML via Style Manager in your ADMINCP
Enjoy checking your site from your mobile phone without the need to pinch/zoom/wait etc...
Version Control:
1.0.0 - 25 AUG 2010 - Initial Release on vBulletin.org
1.0.1 - 26 AUG 2010 - Fixed "Mark All Forums Read" link in Search results. Released Lightweight Style Options to customise this
1.0.2 - 21 MAR 2011 - Updated to 4.1.2, removed short tags from CSS, fixed some issues discovered since last release, added some stuff.
1.0.3 - 16 DEC 2011 - Updated to 1.0.3, tried to fix all known issues. Nothing new. If you have updated your site as bugs have been found, probably no need to upgrade. But if you're upgrading your site from to 4.1.9, might be worthwhile.
1.0.3a - 16 DEC 2011 - remove test ad hook code accidently left in postbit_legacy template
Branding Free:
The style is free to use. However I ask that you keep links in the footer. If you want to remove them - send me a donation of an amount you can afford, or that you think is fair/reasonable, it's up to you how much.
My users are really enjoying this Some of them however still want to use the "PC Style". When they select this the style changes, but upon their next selection it reverts back to the mobile version. Any way to change that behavior?

elseif ($mobile_browser_advanced AND $vbulletin->options['mobilestyleid_advanced'] AND !$vbulletin->GPC[COOKIE_PREFIX . 'skipmobilestyle'] AND !$vbulletin->GPC[COOKIE_PREFIX . 'userstyleid'])
elseif ($mobile_browser AND $vbulletin->options['mobilestyleid_basic'] AND !$vbulletin->GPC[COOKIE_PREFIX . 'skipmobilestyle'] AND !$vbulletin->GPC[COOKIE_PREFIX . 'userstyleid'])
People are saying this logs them our every time the make a selection on the website..?
Basicly if they switch over the the "Full Site" they cant stay logged in> :\ Get the thank you for logging in and everything but when the return to the forum.php they are logged out.
Those changes to init.php are direct from vBulletin to fix a vBuletin bug - nothing to do with me as such. Try reverting the changes and see what happens then.
