A version for 3.7 can be found HERE

A super light style designed for Mobile Phones - use in conjunction with THIS or THIS modification to redirect mobile phone users to this theme.

This is a work in progress, and any and all feedback is greatly appreciated - I will do my best to act on bugs and suggestions.

Check http://mobility.mobi (not my site) from a mobile device to see how it looks or you can visit via an emulator HERE

Whilst this doesn't have ALL functionality of vBulletin default, it does allow browsing forums, replying to posts, creating new topics and sending/receiving PMs.

I'm new at this, be kind.

Version History
1.00 - Initial Release
2.00 - Validates Strict XHTML 1.0 on http://validator.w3.org/
Added PM notification, fixed new reply, new thread, new PM to look better. Can edit posts. Added Logout and also an "Up" menu which will take you to the parent forum of where ever you currently are. Images in posts are replaced with a link to the image - unfortunately this meant I had to do teh same to smilies which all now show up as :-) (which is a link to teh smilie itself). It is now approaching a fully functioning skin - not sure what else you would want to do from a mobile phone/PDA. A few small bugs fixed too.
2.01 - Added viewing thread subscriptions, who's online (both only for logged on members) and quick reply
2.02 - Quick reply for logged on members only
2.03 - fix a w3.org validation issue, added "mark forums read" to forum home
2.04 - Internal release
2.05 - added mark as read to 'new posts' added 'sub' (Subscribed threads) and 'online' (who's online) footer navbar forum name in post title (as link) fixed a few things.
2.06 - Page numbers appear in thread bits
- UserCP page, with access to PMs, Subscribed Threads, Edit Signature, Edit Options (which includes changing view from oldest first to newest first
- Basic MOD options added - can delete posts and threads (and undelete also)
- Remember me added to login in footer (duplicate login screens removed
- I should probably test this latest version more extensively and re validate it, but thought you wouldn;t mind a pre-release

2.07 - Added requests, revalidated STRICT XHTML on w3.org. If you have modified your existing install of this, I suggest you backup the style first before upgrading with this new version just in case you want to roll back.
2.08 - Remove backlink from FORUMHOME
2.09 - updated version numbers on templates to 3.6.9
2.10 - added securitytoken field to all forms

A Spanish translation can be found in post # 200 HERE

Install Instructions
Unzip and upload the wireless.css to your forum root.
Import the XML as a new style WITH NO PARENT.

Upgrade Instructions
Unzip and upload the wireless.css to your forum root (overwriet existing).
Import the XML and merge with existing. Alternatively you could delete the existing mobi style and re-upload fresh.

Keywords: Mobile, Cell, Portal, Mobi, Light, PDA, Phone

Screen Shots - Don;t be put off by the colours, these are all very easily changed by editing the CSS file. If you need help, just ask. I did these from a desktop browser with the window resized to 240px wide - to get a proper idea of the look, use the emulator link mentioned above. It looks MUCH better from an actualy small screen device!

Good work!
Can you tell me where in the mobile skin we can put some script to trace mobile device visitors?

admin functions would be too much to put into a mobile/cell phone style I think, but when I get the PDA style done, I'll look at adding them into that.

It's outside the scope of a style - but it shouldn't be too hard to add to the mobile detect add-on to bypass detection if the user is an admin? Same goes for your request Derek_Trotter - what sort of logging? A simple text file shouldn't be too hard to generate for each time a mobile device makes a page request?

ahh - good point, I use a Treo 700wx, so the PDA version would be ideal for me for admin functions.

A question from one of my Mods:

Do you think the mobile portal will be able to allow moderation in the future?

I like but I cannot get portal forwarding to work, its keeps looping
I edited the adv_portal like in post #9

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html>
<head>
$headinclude
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2; URL=http://metallifukinca.com/forums.php" />
</head>
<body>

$header

$navbar
<div align="center"><a href="http://metallifukinca.com/forums.php">Portal Disabled in Mobile View - Click here if your browser does not automatically redirect you.</a></div>
$footer

</body>
</html>

I think you should delete the

line.

It would probably be a good idea to edit the navbar template for this skin and make sure that Home link point to forums.php rather than index.php

I see the issue - vbadvanced integrated into your forums - every page is a vbadvanced page. I didn't know this was possible..

try this one as your adv_portal template - it will only disaply your centre CMPS blocks :

I think the simple ability to delete posts and threads would be a huge improvement...

Feedback from one of my Mods who has been using it extensively:

ok, so I've used the mobile version on the S710 for a couple of days now and so here's some feedback:

- The threads in New Posts search, do not show the forum that they are in, even when you go into the post. This is especially important for Mods as they can't easily tell if they're in the wild or not.
-No page numbers listed on the New Posts page so you can't opt to go straight to page number 1 for example.
-No mark all as read option in the new posts list
-The portal display isn't the best
-No moderation tools
-Quick reply box only appears on the last page of a thread
Comments?

This is in the next update

You sure? Unless I'm looking in the wrong place, I can see them when I log onto your site? Page nav is however a little messy, I'll fix this in the next update

-No mark all as read option in the new posts list
I'll see what I can do...

-The portal display isn't the best
Portal? Or the style itself? Colours can easily be modifed by editing the CSS, as for layout, I've tried to make it so it will display OK on the widest range of devices, not just new devices.

-No moderation tools
There are no plans for moderation tools in this style

-Quick reply box only appears on the last page of a thread
This is in the next update

Next update also has a who's online, and subscribed threads plus whatever else I add in the mean time.
