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/posting/replying in forums
• Supports Private Messaging
• Supports Tags (viewing, not adding)
• Supports viewing and replying to messages in Social Groups
• Supports Thread Prefixes
• has an add-on product to customise here: Extend and Customise Mobile Style (It is recommended that you install this also, but not required)
• 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you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found!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.

You're right -- you don't. It's got to be some WYSIWYG JavaScript. How else could it pick up when I click inside the textarea?

http://forums.techguy.org/ shows up in this skin on my phone in both IE and Opera... IE works completely OK, but Opera has the 11x11progress issue.

Thanks!

Hi TechGuy, I don't seem to be having that problem with mine. Do you have any modified code ? I suggest you upload the code you're using, so that we can take a look. That is, the whole style .xml =)

[TechGuy]

I haven't modified the style in any way. Just signed up for your site (nice one, by the way) -- same problem when using Opera for Windows Mobile.

[Jase2]

Ah, so it appears to be. I'll have to take a look through the code -- unless Dartho already has a fix?

I just loaded opera mini 4 on my device, surfed to my site (which I just installed the latest version of this style on fresh).

The quick reply appears to have a small square in it which I am assuming is a carriage return or line feed marker.

By editing the SHOWTHREAD template and removing any whitespace between
"<textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="30" style="height:100px;width:100%" tabindex="1">"
and
"Posted via Mobile Device</textarea>"

this will remove that symbol. Although it doesn't appear to affect functionality...

[TechGuy]

Not Opera Mini, but Opera for Windows Mobile.

any help on the ability to allow tmobile sidekick users to see the normal version instead of mobile? I'm not sure what I would need to write in the exception box?

[dartho]

Assuming you are using this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=173239 for mobile detection? If so, when a sidekick user is online, check their useragent string in teh Who's Online section. You can then pick a unique piece of this and add it to teh exceptions.

A quick google and it looks it the UA string will be: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible;AvantGo 3.2 ProxiNet; Danger hiptop 1.0)

If this is the case, probably add "hiptop 1.0" to the exceptions - I believe Danger Hiptop make the sidekick? Liek I said - this is from 30 seconds of research, so double check and test!

Hope this helps -
