Looks just like the vB3 archive except that it allows logging in, posting and PMs!

Great, thank you very much.

Do you think this is going to work fine with the next VB versions?

Should work fine with the next version; the templates are very simple.

It would be cool if everyone who was using this mobile skin would post their site here-- it could be the start of a list of PDA-compatible vBulletins.

Thanks so much this is fantastic work! :)

Installed at Outpost Firewall Forums (http://www.outpostfirewall.com/forum/index.php)

P.S. - This also makes a very nice minimalist skin for dial-up users as well. :)

I have been playing with this and the only downside I can see is the lack of any sort of navigation on the homepage.

I would like to add a few key links such as UserCP, New Posts, Search, and Log Out, but can't quite figure out where to put them in the new template.

vBMechanic

Mon 28th Jun '04, 12:15am

It's pretty minimalist at the moment, but the other parts like the search and the rest of the user CP can be updated easily in a new version.

Hi, I installed the style and if I use the url:

http://www.apug.org/forums/?styleid=5

it works, but only on the main forum page. How do I keep the style working on all pages? I don't want users to have to switch to the style at all, I just want them to click a "PDA" link that puts them in the PDA style from then on. Can anyone help? thanks!

sross

Fri 2nd Jul '04, 10:06pm

whoa, also noticed after installing this style that some of my pages went screwy, so I rebooted, went back to my site and they were still screwey, for eample the search page was using the pda style!? So in a panic I deleted the pda style and things went back to normal, any idea? I didn't have the pda style set to default or anything like that either. thanks!

Fri 2nd Jul '04, 10:16pm

sorry for another post, this style has screwed up the style in my photopost integration! ugh! i have no idea how this could have happened, the style was added as a 'new style' stupified, will try to fix it :(

Pugzly

Fri 2nd Jul '04, 10:51pm

I think building some autodetection into this is the best solution. Automatically redirect PDAs to that style...

Sat 3rd Jul '04, 12:41am

Hi Sross, I think you have greater problems than just skin installation / removal. Perhaps some corrupt tables? Have you run a check / repair? A vB tech can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think installing or uninstalling an XML skin file could do this. Especially considering that this is probably the simplest skin out there; most of the templates are stripped down to almost nothing.

>>I think building some autodetection into this is the best solution. Automatically redirect PDAs to that style...

I posted the code for that somewhere else; let me find it.... I put this in global.php but I believe it can go in the php_include template as well. No, now that I think about it, it might be too late in that template.. I put it in global right below:

else
{
// no style specified - use default
$styleid = $vboptions['styleid'];
}

ADD:

// BROWSER DETECT

$browsers = array(
"Windows CE",
"WebTV",
"AvantGo",
"Blazer",
"PalmOS",
"lynx",
"Go.Web",
"Elaine",
"ProxiNet",
"ChaiFarer",
"Digital Paths",
"UP.Browser",
"Mazingo",
"Mobile",
"T68",
"Syncalot",
"NetFront",
"Danger",
"Symbian",
"Nokia",
"Xiino",
"AU-MIC",
"EPOC",
"BlackBerry",
"Wireless",
"Handheld"
);

if(preg_match('/('.implode('|', $browsers).')/i', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], $match))
{
$mobile=1;
}
else if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_UA_OS']))
{
if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_UA_OS'],"POCKET PC") !== false)
{
$mobile=1;
}
}
else
{
$mobile=0;
}

if ($mobile==1)
{
//echo "You are on a mobile device!";
$styleid='8';
}

Change the styleid='8' to whatever your PDA style is.

Hi, I tried a repair and optimize and no luck. I really have no idea what has caused it. I know for certain all I did was:

upload the template as a 'new template'
then went to the forum style id of the new template to look at it.
I then went to my gallery page and it was white
I then went back to the forum and it seemed ok, went to my forum search page and it was stripped down as if it were the mobile design
I then deleted the design, my forum search page went back to normal, I went to the gallery page and now it's all hosed for some reason. http://www.apug.org/gallery

Well I added the Style and uploaded the auto select code - It all seems to work great on the blackberry ... One comment though - The blackberry was redirected to the PDA style automatically BUT the style NAME at the bottom still shows my default Style choice - I guess that is to make sure that when I log in with a PC I still get the right style ??

I'm sitting in the Vegas airport typing on my iPAQ, waiting for a plane that's 5 hours late... wishing more sites had this skin installed :) At least it's free wifi.

Does it work w/ 3.03? For sure... the templates are heavily simplified so upgrades won't likely affect it.

Sun 25th Jul '04, 8:54pm

i got it, and you can see it at climbdown.net (warning... this is not exactly a PG-13 board) here are the necessary files

spacer.gif goes in your forum root

PDAvbulletin-style.txt needs the extention changed to .xml

Changes made:

Quick reply added
Modified to work with legacy postbit
threadbit modified to: show reply count, bold threads that have "new" posts, added "v" to go to first new post, added "spacer" 4 pixel tall white space containing a horiz. grey line between thread titles, show last poster name

This has made the average title 2 lines instead of one, that's why the spacer was added... overall, it's a longer page, but i think it's worth it for the added information

Hi, thanks for the autodetection plugin and the alabama skin.

However, i believe something is still wrong, i get an error on my cell when i try to view the page.

In the autodetection plugin, should i add the code within that else statement, or just after it?

Mon 2nd Aug '04, 11:26am

The only problem i have with this style is that when i get on with my cell i dont know what forums have new posts and what threads are new ? It kinda defeats the purpose because if i have to go into every forum and look to see if it has new posts it would take FOREVER. Does anyone have any updates on this skin to make it work to show last post or anything.

I'll do a screen shot if I need to, but this ends up showing a bunch of the space.gifs above all the content. I end up having to scroll down to see things. This link (http://www.efhs84.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=2&styleid=11) should work.

Installed and working well on http://www.harrypotterfriends.com/vb3/?styleid=3

If that link above goes bad (we may be renaming stuff as we're just moving in and settling down), go to http://www.snitchseeker.com/ select forums and choose "ss lite" as the style.

The only problem I see is that when you go into a thread, the avatars show up, and so do some of the buttons.

Any way of overriding this?

Also, I would love to see new posts in bold, but I think that's all!

Great job!! :)

Wed 13th Oct '04, 6:33am

Zachery, could you please tell us how to make it so that avatars and siggies don't show up in this skin?

I would also love to see regular html buttons instead of image buttons for the skin. The ideal would be no images at all - except for maybe logo and inside topics (user-posted only).

Once I can eliminate the images (at very least in siggies and avatars) this will be a great skin!

Thanks!

Hi

This style needs two links to be perfect.

1- A link for quick delete.
2- A links for quick ban

If you are a moderator, these two links are vital for you and including them into this style is very important.

sadly, I don't know how to do it :D

Wed 26th Jan '05, 1:09pm

The one thing this skin was missing for me was a navbar (New Posts, Logout, etc. links) - so I trimmed the default navigation bar table down to a width that will not cause the skin to scroll horizontally (on a PocketPC anyway) - got rid of the Members List and some other links, but kept the most useful ones (at least those I find most useful when on a PocketPC)

Here's the modified navbar template for anyone interested.

A guy named AlexanderT have actually did his own mobile version for his forum. If you look carefully, he put some little icons to indicate new postings as well as some nifty functions like viewing counts, Sticky etc. But he missed the navbar ;)

Something like that will be superb! :)

IMHO, this existing MobileAlabama style + the Quick Reply improvements + navbar add-on, is already great! But can be greater with some small icons :)

AshAbed,

Great stuff mate! :D :D :D !!! A gazillion thanks. I already "hacked" my mobile forum and it displays some nifty indications for new posts (on the left of each forum sections) now.

However, there are some other things that I would like to see in the forum index display page like the following :

1- Lines separating each forum sections.

2- Horizontal navbar instead of vertical

Please refer to my attachments :-

1- forum-index-current.jpg shows my mobile forum at the moment without lines separating forum sections and with a vertical navbar.

2- forum-index-planned.jpg is my planned forum index page with lines separator as well as a horizontal navbar. :D sorry... my photoshop skill is as bad as my vBulletin skill... :D

Really admire your works and again, a million thanks....

Yes, I am very sure :). I tried pasting several times (and saved) and it is still the same. It is still looking like the previous version. The navbar elements are still in vertical. Please refer to my attachment below (header only).

Thanks so much for your time AshAbed. You really are one in a million!!!

But before I can do that, I must make sure everything runs smoothly and without problem on my website now. At the moment, I'm satisfied with the result but I believe this Mobile style will be more developed :) as more and more mobile devices are used nowadays. Especially Symbian powered devices :D

Can you email me at admin@i-symbian.com to discuss about this matter?

Sun 30th Jan '05, 11:24pm

@AshAbed,

Amazing result :D... It is what I want from the very beginning. I dont know what to say.

After thinking and thinking about what to put, I came accross this idea to put a search button in the navbar. The current one already have a search function but my idea is to make a search function that is easy to access and permanently displayed in the navbar. So when a registered user or guest want to search something, they only need to type the keyword and press Search.

Please refer to my attachment below to understand what I meant by an easy search function. Again, sorry, my photoshop skill is still very bad ... :rolleyes:

Rgds

@symbian.info, I dont have problem with Search result. All okay :-)

@hankster, if you read this thread from the very beginning, you would find the auto-redirect script posted by vBMechanic (the original author of this WAP style). Anyway... here is the link to the post explaining how to use auto redirect :

hey guys, i'm kinda having some trouble getting this to work on my mobile phone. i have the style set up as a child of the default. i wasn't sure where to post the code in global.php as far as whether to post it above or below the //no style specified commented section. when i visit the site without the browser detect it does load my default style, but when i go to the site with the code implemented and the style=6 (my wap style), it just loads a blank page. i'm using a sanyo 5500 with the netfront browser. can anyone help?

i wasn't sure where to post the code in global.php as far as whether to post it above or below the //no style specified commented section.

First, you must edit the file global.php

Second, find the following code :

else
{
// no style specified - use default
$styleid = $vboptions['styleid'];
}

Put the auto browser detection code just below the } meaning, after the above code.

That's it! :D

AshAbed,

All your codes worked very well. Please accept my sincere thanks from me for making this WAP style more complete and more useful. From your posts, I implemented the following hacks for style :-

1- icon for new posts in forum index
2- Getting rid of post icons on newthread page
3- lines separating forum sections in forum index
4- horizontal navbar with separators
5- Home in horizontal navbar
6- Search button in navbar

All work and function very well. Thanks AshAbed. Please refer to my attachment to see how it looks on my Mobile Forum :-)

I will post any suggestions in here when I have new ideas or when there are some things I want to share.

Some questions for Ashabed,
1- Can you edit the Shoutbox implemented in my forum (the full version, not the Mobile version) to be compatible with the mobile style?

2- Before you helped us with this style, there is a post with modifications to this style. Original post here (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showpost.php?p=709777&postcount=46). But the ends up showing a bunch of the space.gifs above all the content like what happened to this forum (http://www.efhs84.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=2&styleid=11). Is there any way to get rid of the space.gif lines?

The Shoutbox is displayed in FORUMHOME and the final part of the installation requires the following code to be included in the FORUMHOME template just below the $navbar :

OK. This one, I found the solution. I deleted the spacer.gif from the threadbit template :
Click Edit templates
Expand the template group 'Threadbit Templates'
Edit the 'threadbit' template
Search and delete the code:

Take your time mate... take your time... :cool: :cool: :cool:

In the meantime, allow me to request another enhancement for this excellent WAP vB style.

1- In forumdisplay (lists of threads inside a forum section), the topics are displayed nicely but very basic (please refer to attachment current-forum-display.jpg). A new post or topic is marked by bold in the title and a v besides it.

IMHO, the forumdisplay page will be better if we can view some important information like the number of replies, latest reply date, latest poster, number of views etc, complete with links to the latest post (refer to attachment planned-forum-display.jpg).

2- Also in forumdisplay, it would be great too if a separator line can be put to separate topics (Also please refer to attachment planned-forum-display.jpg).

Whoa!!! :D :D :D

I hope the above requests will not be the last from me :)

Thanks and best regards

Dear all,

Is it possible to implement Threaded Mode display in Postbit in this WAP style? I mean, with linear mode, it takes time to load because every posts will be displayed but with threaded mode, only the most recent one is displayed with a selection of which reply users want to see.

I have sketched down my thoughts in my attachments below. Please have a look.

That's a good idea, its more than likely possible. And sorry about taking so long to get the next update in - this week and next I don't have too much free time, two exams a day all week and my extra time is normally used for clients. hopefully you don't mind waiting a bit longer.

Ashabed,

You have helped a lot. I can wait for you to get the stuff done because we are talking about some real quality stuff here.

Whatever it is, you have your own priority and that should come first before anything else. Your exams are very important.

"They can view all other sites mentioned in this thread though :confused:"
That means it can't be a problem with the style. Might be a problem with your permission's settings... I can't say though.

And I was just popping in to say it looks like I won't have too much time to help out until this Saturday.

Ashabed,

Welcome back mate... :D

Here are the stuff that I think you can help us to achieve :-

1- Thread mode in postbit

Please check this website : http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/forum/?styleid=10

It uses a very cool mobile style. I think many things can be implemented from that style. To view the mobile style, you need to have a username and password. Please check your PM ;-)

AshAbed,

Awesome work !!!

However, I realised there are some core things that need to be added :-

1- The ability to Edit post from this mobile style. At the moment, there is no way to Edit posts with this :D

2- Is it possible to put the lists of posts in threaded mode below the latest post? At the moment, the lists are displayed at the top. If it is displayed at the bottom, I think it would be better because we dont have to scroll down to read the latest post.

That's all for now :-)

Cheers!!!

2- I'm not sure exactly what you mean, could you provide a screenshot of what you'd like me to do?

Thanks. Please refer to my attachments.

ThreadedMode1 is the current threaded mode where the latest post is displayed at the bottom of the page. This needs scrolling especially if the topic contains many posts.

ThreadedModebottom is my suggestion. In here, the latest post is located on top of the list. Making it easy to see the latest post and read it because no scrolling is needed :-)

Another thing, I noticed the Quick Reply function is missing, can you please add that? :D :D :D

Cheers!!!

I'll do a screen shot if I need to, but this ends up showing a bunch of the space.gifs above all the content. I end up having to scroll down to see things. This link (http://www.efhs84.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=2&styleid=11) should work.

I fixed it!!! I can add my first vB mod :) :)

Open: Thread Bit Templates> Threadbit

Replace with:

<tr>
<td><img src="spacer.gif">
<div style="padding-left: 5px;">
<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=newpost&t=$thread[threadid]">*</a></if> <a href="showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]"><if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"><strong>$thread[threadtitle]</strong><else />$thread[threadtitle]</if></a> - <span class="smallfont">$thread[replycount] - last post <phrase 1="member.php?find=lastposter&t=$thread[threadid]" 2="$thread[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase></span>
</div>
</td>
</tr>

Looking much better now :)

By the way this is referencing The post om page 4 with the updated template.

*****crap, I didn't see where you fixed that, oh well, this shows how you can leave the bar in to do it's original job...also changed the 'v' to a '*' ;)

I installed the code and it displayed correctly now. The ThreadMode is at the bottom and the Quick Reply is there (I added it myself...)

Here is another enhancement that I think would make the style better. I've tried to find the code myself but I couldnt do it... :D :

It could be great if registered users can edit their own post in this mobile style...

AshAbed,

again, great stuff. However, after installing it, I noticed that whenever I clicked on the Edit/Delete Message, it goes to the editpost page but the box is empty. I tried this on several devices, on PC, laptop, Nokia N-Gage, Nokia 6670, Nokia 9500, all the same. the edit box doesnt have the text that we suppose to edit.Please refer to attachment Editpost.jpg

Another thing, the QuickReply box is quite complicated (refer to attachment CurrentQuickReply.jpg) . It could be great if the quickreply is simpler as in attachment SimpleQuickReply.jpg.

Thanks a million my friend ;-)

Ah my mistake - when I have it show the current message it shows the more complex editor so I had switched it and forgot that it was editing a message and not a new reply ;). I'll get that fixed.
And I'll get the quickreply simplified.

Mon 21st Feb '05, 7:30am

I've been following this thread at the same time as modifying the style for use on my own forum. There are a couple of things it would be great to have:

1. Ability for admins/mods to close a thread.
2. A very basic admin control panel, basically an emergency off button , in case the forum need to be switched off remotely. We have had need of that in the past when our forum was attacked by some kiddies posting all sorts of obscene images.

I'm currently working on simplifying the User Control Panel. At the moment I need to work out how to simplify the Edit Signature page.

Edit: Got the signature editor sorted out.

Mon 21st Feb '05, 7:47am

This is not a valid question anymore as I decided to remove the style and try to build a custom one.
Does anybody have anuy idea why this might be happening:
Threads dont show in forumdisplay - for example:
style was removed
while the full default style shows all pretty like:
http://www.soundchilds.net/loud_lounge/forumdisplay.php?f=6&styleid=1
Looking at a thread works totally ok even with the light to be version, like:
style was removed
(nevermind the current layout)

Thanks for any info!

Mika - Feel free to PM me with your admin information and I'll get it fixed for you in a few minutes, I'll have to look at the templates to see what's wrong.

Thanks, AshAbed. I think it is related to the threaded view which I have disabled all together after it begun showing same symptoms with my default style - probably has to do with other hacks installed.

What I´ll do is I´ll replicate my current used style and mod that into a mobile skin. I think it´s easier at the end since I know the templates used at that one.

If ít looks like a pain I´ll try re-installing this style and get back to you.

Thanks once more,

Oh so the error only happens on that skin? In that case I'll have to have that skin be selectable so I can take a look at it... right now I don't see any problems

- And Mika, changing your current skin into a mobile skin would take a very long time compared to allowing me to fix the error, it probably is related to disabling threaded view but I can most likely get it to work.

AshAbed,

Nice to see you back here again. I have no problem with this mobile style and I am very proud to use it. I cauldn't have done this without your help, AshAbed :)

However, there are things that I think will better enhance this mobile style and you have promised to fix them, please refer to :

Thanks a million!

However, there are things that I think will better enhance this mobile style and you have promised to fix them, please refer to :

And I really hope you could do it for us. The Edit and simplified Quick Reply functions are very important for me and my forum. I hope you can consider it. If you do, this will be my last request to you ;)

Thanks a million!

Yes, just put the link to your forums and add ?styleid=(the style's ID)
IE:
http://YourForum.com/Forum/index.php?styleid=2

If you aren't sure how to get the styleID try this:

Login to the AdminCP, click Styles & Templates > Style Manager
Click the name of the mobile style, the link should open in a new window. The url it takes you to is the one you go to on your phone.

I plan on posting a zip file with the updated style later today or tomorrow.

Other than uploading the wap style, is there anything else that needs to be done? I keep getting the 413 error on my phone. I set the option to allow the user to choose style, and went directly to that style via my phone to test it. EX: http://forums.mysite.com/index.php?styleid=10 (http://forums.mysite.com/index.php?styleid=10)

Still getting 413 error.. ERRR. What am I doing wrong.

Wed 25th May '05, 2:32pm

This is not actually a hack people, it is just a skin, if you want to remove avatars then you must do it by editing the templates, i am going to try and use this soon, when i do, i will post my template files for the postbit so you can just copy that and it will be much simpler on your phone but still have the same functionality!

oh and a 413 error is when the request entity is too large, this is because the server is refusin to process a request cause the request entity is larger than the server is willing or able to process.

Not sure about that hack but i could look into it, as for the sigs and avatars not showing, you just have to remove them from the templates, ill have ago now and post my first version of edited postbit, please not however that i am using the postbit_legacy template cause i use the old style postbit with the avatars on the left so my first template may reflect that a little but it should not matter which postbit template you use it in.

Hi All

Where can I find the auto-detect script for this style. I am ammending mine and so far is starting to take shape nicely. I see in posts in here earlier on in the thread that some users refer to the auto-detect script.

Can someone point me to where I can get this please as I'd like to have this running.

Thanks.:D

Word of warning. If your forums are set to use the Postbit_Legacy template, you have to cut and past the Postbit template into the Postbit_Legacy template so avatars and user info doesn't show.

A small but a very significant problem:
If a forums configured as category and has sub-forums, it is impossible to see the subforum list if linked directly to the category.

I am plancing a bunch of ringtones on my site and using the downloads module for the content. I can navigate to the area no problem with my mobile phone but I was hoping maybe I could use this skin and make it easier for my users to get to and download their content. I thought maybe creating a subdomain of mobile.mysite.com and puting the skin and items there would make it easier. I am new to all of this so I admit my stupidity, humble myself and ask a million questions. Do you have any advice on how to make this easier for my users?

Also, you wouldnt happen to have a blog on your site like b2evolution?

Jukov

Sun 4th Sep '05, 12:42am

No no blogs - My site is a info/news site with some forums on smartphones ppc and other mobile devices.
I think that creating a differrent subdomain is less useful Maybe you could add a redirecting code to the page so it would detect the browser and redirect to this scin by default?

I installed this some time ago and it still works with 3.5 as far as I can tell ...

Havent tested a lot but it seems to - Lots of templates need updates/ reverts but I havent done those yet ...

It would be great to get an updated version for 3.5

EDIT - In reading all the pages between this post and my previous posts - its funny the Mobile alabama style was originally designed to be very light, pared down to bare essentials and quick. Designed for modem users or PDA users who have either slow connection or have to pay per kb to download. Now lots of the stuff that was removed is being added back one at a time for mr symbian ... Its kinda funny ...

Looks like the 'editor_toolbar_wysiwyg' template is missing from 3.5

When i Attempted to implement the edit feature it by default added all the smmilies and the wysiwyg stuff - which amounted to a 200K plus download

To turn all that off, to save data for people who have to pay to dload over pda - I copied the contents of editor_toolbar_off to the editor_toolbar_on template ... Seems to work

Much faster and cleaner

Hi,

I have been looking at this and was trying to work out if it really is capable of being used by a WAP device - is it possible to send an XML header to the browser rather than the HTML one?

Does this style automatically detect a handheld browser? I dont see much help with the install and questions like that answered.

our forum also experienced an error with this skin.

once you have selected the skin, you cannot select another skin from the drop down. they all respond with an error on the page- and you are stuck in the mobile skin.

i had to delete it from the style manager to regain use of my other skins.

anyone know where I can even PAY for a fully functional PDA skin that works with 3.5.4? Preferrably with a PDA browser detector...

Just click the box that says to ignore version, and it will work fine.

You can use the info in this post to add automatic detection: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=991260&postcount=121

I installed the 353 version on our 354 installation and the main page works fine, but when I click to go into one of my forums, I get the default style instead of the new one.

What am I doing wrong?

I had that problem with the 3.0.1 version of this skin, but the 3.5.3 version of this skin works fine on vB 3.5.4 from what I can tell. Quick Style Chooser switches back and forth with ease :)

I just installed it on 3.5.4 and it works fine.

Also for everyone who want browser autodetection and dont want to modify vBulletin scripts - here is instruction how to add autodetect plugin (thanks to vBulletin team for hooks):

1. Go to admin area "Plugin System/Add new plugin"

2. Fill in form here:
- Product: "vBulletin"
- Hook location: style_fetch
- title: "WAP auto detect" or whatever sounds good for you
- PHP code:

$browsers = array(
"Windows CE",
"WebTV",
"AvantGo",
"Blazer",
"PalmOS",
"lynx",
"Go.Web",
"Elaine",
"ProxiNet",
"ChaiFarer",
"Digital Paths",
"UP.Browser",
"Mazingo",
"Mobile",
"T68",
"Syncalot",
"NetFront",
"Danger",
"Symbian",
"Nokia",
"Xiino",
"AU-MIC",
"EPOC",
"BlackBerry",
"Wireless",
"Handheld"
);

if(preg_match('/('.implode('|', $browsers).')/i', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], $match)) {
$mobile=1;
} else if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_UA_OS'])) {
if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_UA_OS'],"POCKET PC") !== false) {
$mobile=1;
}
} else {
$mobile=0;
}

if ($mobile==1) {
$styleid=2;// your wap theme ID here
$vbulletin->options['styleid'] = 2;// your wap theme ID here
}

Enable plugin and enjoy :D

I got this working on 3.5.3, check it out at http://mobile.gtplanet.net - thanks for the hard work, Floris! Everyone using this style, to include sub-forums, just include this code:

<if condition="$show['forumslist']">

<strong>$vbphrase[subforums]:</strong>
$forumbits
<br />

</if>

...right below this code in the FORUMDISPLAY template...



<div style="background-color:#ffffff;border: 1px solid #c0c0c0; padding:8px;margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:6px;">

Does anyone have this to work on 3.5.4 ?

has anyone tried this with 3.60?I've installed it on a 3.6.1 forum and am experimenting with it now. Seems to work fine. Since this 'skin' is basically a skin stripped of graphics and other goodies, I'd expect it to require little tweaking except when vBulletin undergoes a substantial code change.

Found a small buglet.. In the threadbit - around line 4 there's a stray right bracket bewteen usename and Thread Title...I think that's intentional, actually. I made a number of tweaks to the template myself, just based on having different aesthetic preferences.
Added in "New Posts" (getnew) "Latest Posts" (getdaily) and "Search" links to the logged-in header (after the PM notice).
Removed the "Thread/Thread Starter," "Last Post," and other column headers (which didn't seem to connect to anything and took up a lot of space).
In the search template (such as "Latest Posts"), instead of "Username) Thread Title" I used "-Thread Title (Username)" and changed the username from the thread starter to the latest poster.
Put a link next to the header/forum title to switch back to the "Full" version (i.e. normal skin).I haven't been able to get the moderation features to work, and the PM interface and advanced search screen aren't "scaled down," so that may be what was affected in the upgrade from 3.0.x to 3.5.x, but to browse and get around, it's great.

Wopuld dearly love to make 'old' and 'new' to grey and green backgrounds respectively but can't for the life of me figure out how. All I can fine is forum[statusicon] which doesn't fo anythign if I dick with it.

Should work okay according to that but not perfect.

I've had quite a few people PM me about this style in 3.5.3, but like Silver_2000 said you shouldn't have any problems just installing it. I'm going to go ahead and post my 3.5.3 style for those who may be having other problems. See it in action here (http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/index.php?styleid=12).
Wow, I was editing the other then saw your post, thanks for saving me time!!!

I looked at the couple sites posted here using this style, and including mine, when viewing from my blackberry, the "old" and "new" tags show up as a 100% and takes a whole line by itself, then the forum name shows up underneath it, instead of showing old as a small square, then the forum name.

Any ideas?

on many BBs there are 2 or 3 browsers with different features etc
Did you try the others ?

Fri 29th Dec '06, 12:04pm

Yeah, I tried all the emulation modes, and all the settings. So does it show normally on Windows devices then?

Has anyone noticed that you can only type about 30 or so characters and then you get an exception fault in the browers? I used the other mobile style that I was originally using, and it works just fine.
