how i can fix this detaill: array in whats going on ad screenshot,,tnks

Try new version just put up ...

hello..

thanks for this wonderful mobile style, but i found something strange after install it.

the image in the post wont show up, after viewing the source code, i found like this:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

the <a href> dont have a closing </a>, so every text after the image become a hyperlink.

i think it should be <img src="">

is this a bugs?

thanks

Sorry - I left some replacement variables in teh style by accident. You can use the new version I just put up, or manually remove the replacement variables.

My issue was using the browser supplied w/Motorola Atrix - I downloaded FireFox for Mobile and I can now 'log in' and 'submit'.

ok fixed tnks dartho

This keeps getting better and better, thanks dartho!

One issue I see.. when adding attachments, the 'close window' buttons don't appear to do anything. I have to 'Back' out to previous screen.

It's a difficult one - diffrent browsers do different things (as you already know from teh default browser/firefox browser differences) . You could change the the action of the "close this window" to go back rather than try and close...

Thank you sir.

I Installed this and followed the directions, as best I can tell. Why does mine look like this?
http://www.westtexasforums.com/ILove.../1/Slanted.jpg

As you can see before the user is logged in, there is a gradual slant. Also, there are no lines/bars/colors/etc.

Once the user is logged in, the slant goes away, but it still looks nothing like your screenshot.

I admit I do not know what I am doing, so I may have done something wrong.

My site is www.WestTexasForums.com. I am on vB4.1.2 Thank you!

Did you upload the contents of the upload directory to your forum root?

Seems that you haven't uploaded the css file :)

Yes I have - its in the upload folder in the zip file

@dartho I thought about DISLEX :)

:o

as you were ...

Yes, sir. I thought so. Perhaps I missed something. Let me double check.
Does the CSS file go directly into the forum root, as well?


Thanks, you two. :)

It's working great now. Thanks again!

This is one of my favorite mods. Thanks for all your hard work...my forum members LOVE this!

One thing I would like to do if possible, is to add the member's location to the posts. Where would I go to add this? I think if you could point me in the right direction, I could figure out the details, just need a little nudge.

By 'Location' do you mean from in their user profiles fields?

If so, you would need to edit the postbit template (if you use postbit legacy, edit the postbit_legacy template) and put the code in there.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Thanks!

Forgive me for not being able to read back all 22 pages, but a quick search of the thread didn't turn anything up so...

Are there any plans to devote any attention to the Social Groups in this style? I LOVE this style - it's the best one I've tried, but the Social Groups are a mess on it. I don't even think you can start a new discussion in your group from this style. :(

I can make the changes myself, but then if this style is updated, it makes updating a mess for me, so I'd love to see it rolled into the style itself.

No plans for this - a lot of the frame work is already in there from vb3.x, it just needs to be updatedSame here ;) and I don;t even use social groups!

I don't understand? I meant if I customize YOUR style, and then YOU release a style update, that makes it really hard for me to sync the two. I was hoping you would be willing to include the updates in your style to avoid that.

As far as I can tell, you can't even post to social groups with this style. :(

Sorry, I misunderstood. Sure - if you do the updates to the groups templates, I'll merge them in to this style if/when I do another release.

Glad I updated - it looks very good. Thanks for this style.

Just asking hopefully on this one - but I have the DETech "thanks" mod installed on my forum. Is there any way that the "thanks" buttons can be displayed in the mobile style?

Hi

I ugraded my vB 4.1.1 CMS Suite to 4.1.3 and on the lightweight style I have a problem with the Currently Active Users: in any case I see always the word "Array", instead of the active users.

http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/1255/lightstyle.gif

How I can solve this problem?

Are you using the latest version of the style? I did an update a couple weeks back that fixed that issue in 4.1.2. Just import the XML, no need to update the CSS

Thanks for update, keep up this good work, don't let this skin "die", because that new vBulletin "Mobile" skin is .... so slooooooowwwwwww and :(:(:(

how to resize image in mobile styles

Hi dartho, thank you.

Now everything is working fine, thank you for your suggestion and your work. Your mobile style is really the best for vbulletin sites.

@NgocTam
Try pasting this into the bottom of your header template in this style:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Not my code - got it from http://javascript.internet.com/misce...e-resizer.html

Compiled and optimised:

Hello Every one

very nice style

thanks

best regrad's

Desktop/PCMode link does not seem to work with VB 4.1.3, every time user switches to Desktop Style, clicking any forum link causes style to switch back to Mobile/Lightweight style. I just changed default style chooser to have 'none' option with value '-1', similar to what VB mobile style uses to switch back to full style.

This works alright, please let me know if there is better fix.

Thanks for the update dartho. The image resizer code works good.

This seems to be problem for some of my users. I'm waiting for confirmation if this solves their problem.

Good work around for 4.1.3, tadukuttan. I notice vbulletin.com also does this, choosing a styleid of -1 is the only way to break out of their mobile device detection so I think your solution is probably the fix - although I'd use text "Default Style" as opposed to "none"

I just upgraded VB to 4.1.3, from 4.1.1, and tried to upgrade the style, but get the following error.

Invalid File Specified

I have uninstalled the style, and tried a fresh install, bu tI still get the same error.

Any idea??

Have you tried re-downloading the zip and extracting it to a new location on your local computer before importing via the Style Manager?

Don't worry, I'm an idiot.
I was importing it as a plugin, not a style. Sheesh, how stupid.

Sorry to trouble you!!

:) I thought that may be the case - it's a common mistake ...

update waiting for 4.1.3

I have worked a bit on the Social Groups portion of this style and it's easier to read and members can now start discussions in their Social Groups thread. dartho, when I add in the group pagination so you can see more than just the first ten topics in a group, I'd like to send you my files to see if you can incorporate them into the theme. Can I email you? PM me with an email address if that's ok. :)

Thanks great style
BUT
is there a way to re-size images?

yeah, click "Mark as Installed" and then read the previous page or post #2

so how do you update it to the latest version?

almost the same way you install it, only select your existing lightweight style to merge it into and select ignore style version

Is there a way to add a scroll bar in the reply window?

My users report that when replying to a post with a large quote it becomes impossible to scroll down and reply.

It should add scroll bars - does for me on my device. You could edit the editor_toolbar_* templates (there are 4 of them) and search for

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

and replace with

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

in SHOWTHREAD search for style="height:100px;width:99%" and replace with above code.

This will explicitly specify adding scroll bars when text size is greater than textbox area.

I'll give that a go, thanks. It appears to be working. I was able to scroll down on a huge post and add a reply. I hope this satisfies the users.

I just wanted to say a big "plus" for this style, I am using it (albeit somewhat modified) on my site and I consider it a far superior solution to the default vB one.

My demo is here:
http://www.bowlandcentral.com/forum/...hp?styleid=167

I've been tweaking and styling it a lot lately.

Current screenshots when logged in. These are taken in desktop Safari but setting the useragent as iPad, they actually look better in mobile Safari.

https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/external/2011/05/46.jpg

https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/external/2011/04/12.jpg

That's looking pretty sweet, Mark. You've got some nice tweaks there (and in your default style too) - I especially like what you've done with the header/navbar.

Also good to see vb4 is working for you, I still haven't made the leap from 3.8 to 4.x yet.... one of these days!

Thanks for sharing

Thanks Dartho. It's been a gradual evolution to get it to where I want, but I think the main style still has the "vB4 look", which is what I wanted to achieve.

The same is the case with the mobile style, I wanted the vB4 look (as far as possible). By adding avatars I have probably reduced the "lightweight" aspect a little but I was inspired by Invision's mobile style which looks rather good with them in place.

I think the balance is now good, I shall not add any further bloat to it.

Probably my next step on the mobile style, is that I was lazy and hard coded some of the CSS into the templates, I need to transfer that out into the css file, which will then allow me to offer different coloured variants like I do with the main style. Haven't really worked out the best way to marry that in with auto-detection though. Currently I have a custom user field that allows people to override the auto detection (mainly for people with iPads...adding the iPad useragent to the exclusion fields seem to fail and as I don't have an iPad I can't easily troubleshoot that) but it's far from ideal, the cookies keep sticking because they are in the URLs.....

perhaps Dartho keeps some modifications you did? :)

Well they aren't difficult but some of them are less "lightweight" than perhaps was intended for this style, particularly with regard to using avatars.

Most of my changes are simply minor restyling of the basics of this style, for instance using the windowbg class to put boxes round everything, and then adding a couple of elements from the main style to make things look consistent (eg those quote boxes are the same ones I use in the main style).

Thanks for this style. It's a great option to have. I just upgraded to 4.1.3, is it safe to revert all the templates that need attention?

yep, should be

I had an older version of a mobile template and a mobile device detection script. With the most recent vBulletin upgrade, it appears they have their own mobile template and so everything has been reverted.

Users now complain that its unusable.

Is this a different template other than "mobile" and how does a user actually use it.

How does this compare to the recent mobile software that was released officially for vBulletin?

Right now our mobile options are a mess unless someone is using tap-a-talk.

With 4.1.2, vbulletin have put in their own detection script - I suggest as a start you disable your previous one.

The vBulletin Mobile Style is written for webkit based browsers, so will work on iPhones and Android based phones, but may not display well on other devices.

This style should work for pretty much all devices. As for which one is better, that's subjective - they would both have their positives and negatives.

As a start, you could install this one and also use vBulletins Mobile style and configure the vBulletin mobile detect options in Style & Language Settings to use vBulletin's Mobile style for 'Modern Browsers' and this one for 'Old Mobile Browsers' - although personally I'd configure them both to use this style ;) Best bet is to get your users feedback and see what they like

Excellent works perfect images are adjusted to the mobile. thanks

Have you tested it with an iPhone? With my notebook the images are resized but not on my mobilephone.

was tested in nokia e63 soon be tested on the i phone and the images are very well suited to the mobile screen

Result resizing images (current):

• Apple iPhone 3G - doesn't work
• Apple iPad 1 - works
• Nokia E63 - works
• PC/Laptop - works

Hello, thank you for a great mod.

I would like to remove 'last post by' and 'date/time of last post'. Plus I'd prefer the forum titles not underline on the index page. How can I do this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

edit the threadbit template, search for and delete the following (at the end of the template)

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Edit the lightweight.css.php and search for:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

and add the following immediately below on a new line

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Thank you, dartho. The 'last post by' and 'date/time of last post' has successfully been removed. I tried the non-underline suggestion, however the forum titles remain underlined?

You could edit the forumhome_forumbit* (only level 1 and level 2 need changing)template and replace occurences of

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

with

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Great stuff, dartho. The second suggestion was successful.

Is it possible the background colour of 'postbit as background for username/date of post' and the background of thread titles in the threadbit template (think correct template) can be different?

Hi, Its a great style and I have been using this style for a while, but I cant seem to get the forum icons to appear, I was trying to make it look more attractive something close to this one...

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showp...&postcount=353

https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/external/2011/05/46.jpg

I'm guessing mark has a bunch of forum icons whose names correspond to the forumid number of each forum and has edited the forumhome templates, taken out the statuicon images and replace with custom images.

just searched - check here: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=239274 for one way on how to do this

Is there some way I can add a link to "My Profile" to the style?

Sure, edit a template and insert a ink - where did you want the link to appear? Currently I think usernames in threads are linked to profile pages, there isn;t much to see on teh profile page though ...

anyway to get THIS look for your 3.8 product? or guidance ?

I was trying to get it to play nice with the thanks mod which displays "thanks" users have received on their "My Profile" page. Unfortunately, that information is in a tab and when I link to it in this style it automatically gives the first tab and doesn't even show the other tabs.

Yeah - this is a pretty cut back style without all the usual hooks and content. If you want to add in stuf like that, you're going to have to do it manually by editing the profile templates or modifying the 'Thanks' plugins to also work with this style.

top style...
But in this style google analytics not work...
Why?

Sure? How have you implemented google analytics?

I would recommend vbSeo integration.

great Style!
But dont work with VBSEO :(


make my links from:

so can´t use with VBSEO :(

Hi I am wondering if you can help anyway with this.

I have created a page on facebook for my site and what I wanted to do was create a sneak preview tab of the mobile version in a iframe to show within my facebook page.

The above is all fine and I have that working.

I want to display the mobile version of my site i.e this mod as it looks clean and fits nicely in the page, so to do that I am calling this url - www.mywebsite.co.uk/forum.php?styleid=7

Which is fine and displays the mobile version, the thing is if I log in via the iframe on my facebook page it reverts back to my normal style (non mobile).

Is there a way to create a URL so when it is called it sticks to the mobile version?

I don't know if any of the above is possible but thought I would ask her as you made this mod so would know it better than anyone else.

I appreciate any help..
Thanks

That'd be more of a vbulletin issue than a style issue, and I'm not sure why, or how to work around. Have you tested with a user account?

Works very well with vB 4.1.4 :)

attachment problem on vbulletin 4.1.3 + vbseo + unixy varnish cache

cant download attachment, always redirect to login page

fixed varnish cache issue not style issue

First i want to thank you for your great work. The lightweight style really is blazing fast.

Secondly i want to present the adjustment we made on our board hopeing to improve the usability considering every button is pressed by a huge finger instead of a small mouse on a smartphone display.

I'm not so much talking about the optical changes we made.

We have made one big technical change throughout the whole style. Instead of using text based links, we are using the whole div as a link, which immediately increases the clickable area, as shown on the attached screenshot. The whole grey area now functions as a link.

Here is a live demo: http://www.united-forum.de/?styleid=84


Just wanted to let you know and hope you are interested in including the technical change, since that would save us work (template changes) during an update. :D


previous-code:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

spanlink-code:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

(sidenode, removing the img was purely cosmetic and has nothing to do with the technical change)
additional technical change in the css file:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

For the thread view, the other links (lastpost etc.) do need z-index: 2, to be in front of the spanlink (which can be done via css) and these changes need to be made in about 10? or more templates. If someone is interested and my information is unclear, just ask.

Hello

Does this style recognize small devices ? or shall one change the defulat one once you enter the site ?

Thanks

Set this style as the default for mobile devices in your admincp :)

Has anyone pursued to make this fully CMS compatible?

Dartho, how much donation would it take to get this done for CMS?

@Mooff - I'll have a look into that, thanks for the suggestion and code
@Sonata - what Card+++++ said! (this is just a style - no inbuilt detection, but VB has that)
@jerde - I've done some custom work on CMS for a specific site, but doubt this is directly transferable as the CMS's can be customised so much, so I have no plans at the moment on actually doing the CMS at present.

Understood, I was just thinking simplicity is better. Have a single column that shows the title, author, and content of the article. That's it. As long as it's fast, and people can read the news, that's all that matters.

Let me know if you would be willing to do a CMS customization for my site blackberryos.com? I'd send you a donation for your help.

Anyone know when the vBulletin team will finally come out with a good mobile style?

Edit... This was my fault, disabled the smilies on the theme

Dartho a few templates need updating with the 4.1.4 version, do you plan on updating these at all?

Pretty please your mobile skin is the best by far. Better than vbulletin one as far as I am concerned :)

I have also noticed that if I edit a post it breaks out of the frame and you have to keep scrolling right to see the end of the box.

Damn updates!

where do I edit this?

Go into style manager and open up the Editor Templates > editor_toolbar_off template. Copy it's contents and then edit the Editor Templates > editor_ckeditor template and paste in what you copied. Then edit the editor_clientscript template and delete it's contents.

how to add google ads in this style?

This.

Users love the template, but it broke with the 4.1.4 upgrade.

Going to see if it's just a css issue, and hopefully it can be resolved relatively easily.

If you reupload the template it kicks back in properly.

Tells me that the upgraded templates broke the CSS links.

Not a big issue if you haven't heavily modified the templates, you can just re-upload and it'll fix itself. Otherwise, you'll have to re-edit your templates (postbit for me) to add your custom funcationality back in.

Ive been looking through the templates, but am unsure what I need to add/change to get the "Post thank you" hack to work with this lightweight style.

If someone could please help.
Thanks a ton.
