Is this compatible with 4.1 as well?

anyway this would work with a 3.6 version of vb or is there to big of a gap in the versions. anything similar to this skin for 3.6.

You could try adding a replacement variable in this style as follow:
search for: <img
replace with: <img style="max-width: 200px; max-height: 200px;"
?

Yes, as far as I know

Too different, I have however mostly back ported to 3.8 and will probably release that which *may* be compatible with 3.6

Would be interested, I'll check back for updates.

how to add thanks button

thanks for what?

When I try to import lightweight-vbulletin-style-1.0.1.xml in admin cp, I am getting an error message: "Invalid File Specified"

What may have happened?

Do you think I did anything wrong when I uploaded the css.php file into forum root on my server?

Thank you in advance for your help.

UPDATE: OOPSS!! I was on the wrong place: products instead of style. Everyone should be careful when doing this

Post thanks!

you're welcome!

how to edit,using revert or what?

for an exam picture there in red color what i must do?
thank you

To get that shot you've clicked [View Highlighted Changes], click the [edit template] link to edit...

and then what?

thank you

exactly as I originally posted when you first asked:

i mean how to edit?

for example in red color "your customized value"old default value" and "new default value"
what sould i do? copy paste for new default value and replaced to your customized value?

thank you

Click the [edit template] link, then click the save button without making any changes.

If you figured out how to disable the "everywhere sidebars" mod in the mobile skin, please advise the way to input that into this mod's options page.

Thanks. -- Rik

Just installed and love this style. As a future request, I would love to have the option to tap on our logo at the top of each page and define a target url for that. In our case, we would like a tap on our logo to take us to our main mobile home page which already has links to our various mobile areas of our site.

Thanks for a great addition to vb! -- Rik

That should be easy enough to do. All you'd need to do is hard code the URL in the header template (I think its header...)

does this style only suppot forum? or also cms, blogs?

Same issue here! *The extra codes in the message i.e. <br />'s not the images - Dartho, please check your inbox ;).

I spotted that <br> and <p> html codes issue ealy on in my testing with VB4 (during beta stages maybe)?, and I couldn;t figure it out, then one of the subsequent releases made it go away so I put it down to a VB issue. It's not happening for me under 4.1.0 and hasn't since 4.0.5

BTW - almost got this ready for a 3.8 beta release

Hi Dartho .. :)

Well, I finally took the holiday time to get around to installing both this lightweight style and also the newer lightweight style options version here:

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=249339

I already had the older lightweight style options 1.04 installed, which was this one ...

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=229044

I'm not sure if I should uninstall the latter? :confused:

Anyway, my real problem is the display of "sticky threads" (see pic). Any idea why some of them have their titles with the "struck out line" through them?

Thanks for your great work ... :up:

Regards,
Doug

closed threads etc are reprasented with a strike through - you can edit the CSS file to changet his behaviour. Search for "text-decoration: line-through;" and either delete it, or modify to suit your needs, maybe text-decoration: italic;?

Thank you Sir.. :)

I found this reference "text-decoration: line-through;" in vbulletin.css for all styles including your lightweight one ...

Is that the one you're referring to?

Also, do I use the "Support Developer" button here to send you a PayPal payment? I think I sent you something for the previous version, but I'd like to do so with this version as well.

Regards,
Doug

Edit: Ok, I remarked out the phrase in the vbulletin.css for the lightweight style only as follows:

Quote:

.restore del { /* Striking deleted phrases. */ /* text-decoration: line-through; */ }

However, the stickied threads shown in the pic still appear strick through?

You need to edit the file lightweight.css.php which was uploaded to your forum root

Doh .. :D

Give me a coffee break and you have to re-train me .. ;)

Thanks .. :)

Regards,
Doug

Tested using text-decoration: italic; but threads come out looking like regular textl, however, the good news is the strike-through text is gone now which is fine for us.

Sent you a donation through PayPal for your excellent work ... :up:

Still seem to have an oddity with sticky threads not showing with word "Sticky" like they do in your demo site. (see pic). I'm not sure what the two phrases titled "Normal Threads" and "Sticky Threads" are doing isolated on their own at the top and they don't seem to be clickable as collapsible boxes etc?

Regards,
Doug

ps: I asked this under your PDA detaction thread, but I thought I'd post here as welll. I have a 56kb dial-up users who complain the site is slow for them using a regular PC and browser, so I was wondering if this mod could be adapted to recognize a 56kb dial-up user and automatically present this excellent "Lightweight Style"?

I know our Google Analytics code reads data from someplace and shows me analysis of type of connect speeds used when accessing our site, so I think it's possible?

G'day Doug,
My bad - italic will not work, as it is not a possible value or text-decoration. If italic is the way you want to go, try making it font-style:italic;

Looks like you have a seperate normal and sticky threads hack installed which would explain that issue - point me to the add-on and I'll have a quick look when I get a chance.

A quick check of your site shows detection is working OK (for my device at least)

As for detecting dialup visitors - that's probably a little further outside my abilities than all this other stuff I hack my way through - not sure how one would go about such things - a timer perhaps to see how fast a random image loads and take a best guess?

Tried that and they still appear as regular text subject lines. Don't worry about it as the "strike through" was what I was trying to fix and it's fine now. ;)

Separate Sticky and Normal Threads by pdtan

Thanks.. would be great if it worked with his, or somehow remove his mod JUST from your style.

That's great .. thank you for checking .. :up:

I'm not sure either, but I wonder if there's connection data that's available someplace and it's accessible, which would explain how Google is able to break out connections by speed including dial-up. :confused:

I know there are add-ons that figure out what kind of browser (ie: IE6, Firefox etc) that users are employing, so I bet it's part of that data set. No problem though. I'll perhaps post a general question in the discussion area when I get more time.

Thanks for you help ... :)

Regards,
Doug

If I missed this somewhere, I apologize. Will the style automatically show up if someone logs in from a mobile device? Or do they have to select it?

^ This and also wanting to know if it works fully with the latest Vbulletin ?:confused:

no and yes :)

No it doesn;t autodetect mobile devices see http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt...ghlight=mobile for detection and yes it is working with the latest version of vBulletin

Thanks for that, I installed it, was working fine but the "LightWeight Style Options" seems to be buggy for some reason, I couldnt geet that to work properly so I uninstalled the style for now...

Now all we need is the "Extra Options" to be fixed and so that users can change the style and vice versa. :D

nice work :)

Installed this morning, and my users absolutely LOVE it! Great job, especially when combined with the lsoptions and mobdetect mods! Nominated for MOTM!

PS - A suggestion would be to put a link to the mobdetect mod in the main post here, maybe under Addons with the lsoptions link. I had to read every post in this thread (not necessarily a bad thing) to find out about it, and I see people are still asking about that functionality.

Whoa, very slick

Doesn't seem to be working on 4.1pl2 -- shows just text, but no CSS, graphical chrome, or anything.

Any fixes available?

works fine under 4.1pl2. Sounds like you either haven't uploaded the CSS.PHP file to your forum root, or perhaps your server doesn;t support php short tags, in which case you should download the alternative CSS.PHP file available in the first post (or first reply to this thread as the case may be)

When I installed this, I didn't realize (my bad) that it would also embed my advert code from each forum, generated from this mod:

Add Ads to each forum.

The graphic ads appear at the top of the forums, slowing down Dartho's excellent skin style.

Since the ad mod uses HTML, I think the fix for me is simple ...

Can you provide me with the IF statement in vBulletin jargon that I can put in front of my HTML code for the forum ads so it DOES NOT execute if the style equals the value of my mobile skin?

In other words ..

===================
If style not equal to "x" then skip to end and do not execute adsense code display ...

adsense code

end
=============

Thanks ... :)

Regards,
Doug

ps: Has anyone who uses it, been able to solve the conflict with this mod that I mentioned in a previous pic?

Separate Sticky and Normal Threads by pdtan

I did upload the file, but you are probably correct with the short tags reference -- it sees the css file, but doesn't seem to react to all of it. Let me try that -- thanks for your quick response.

EDIT: Thanks, that did it!

How to change style from mobile to default style ?Any advice ? :D

as per install instructions:

@BadgerDog - I will get back to you soon

Sorry if this is an obvious question but I've installed it and it overwrites my default style! I've had to revert to a backup copy of the database to get rid of it! What have I done wrong?

PS I have installed Lightweight sytle options - I think! But then it still only gives me the mobile style I cannot get back to the default style - more database restores and lost posts :( Nightmare.

sounds like you merged it into your default style - this now has happened to about 3 people that I know of and I can see no reason why. Perhaps it's a bug in vBulletin? Do you have debug mode enabled?

Make sure you add it as a child style. Someone else said they created a new style with no parent, and then merged this one into that.

You don;t need to do DB restores to fix either, in teh vBulletin download package there is a tools.php file - upload it to admincp, open in browser and rebuild master style. That will fix. In the mean time I'll report as a bug ...

Roger that ... :up:

Regards,
Doug

I've done it before, and it wasn't a bug. ID10T error

Tried it again but adding it as a child style, same result it seems to overwrite *all* my styles, if I do index.php?styleid=XX all I ever get is the mobile style!

Here's what I'm doing - vbulletin 4.1.1

Download / Upload Styles
Import Style XML File:
Import the XML from your server: mobile.xml (renamed by me)
Merge into style: (Create new style)
Ignore style version: Yes
Title for uploaded style: Mobile
Parent Style: Default Style
Display Order: 10
Allow user selection: Yes

It then goes through the upload process, which appears to be sucessful, but then I just get the mobile style and nothing else!

give it a go with no parent (which would make teh Master style the parent which is the default style unmodified)

I've got it working now. The only difference to the above was that I uploaded the style from my PC rather then specifying a file on the server. Shouldn't make any difference but it seemed to do so in this case!

Good to hear it's now going as it should ...

@BadgerDog -

First - if you have the Lightweight STyule Options add-on installed, try adding this:
$vbulletin->options['dt_separate_sticky_normal_active']=0;
$vbulletin->options['dt_separate_sticky_normal_remove']=0;

to the code to disable add-ons section.

If that doesn't work, try editing the Separate Sticky and Normal Threads plugin for for seperate sticky/normal threads and wrap it in

if (STYLEID!=n){

existing pluginin code

}

where n is the lightweight style ID

As for teh Ads stuff, try deleting teh entire contents of the forumhome_ads_code template in the lightweight style

Mark - I don't think it's you. Same just happened on my test site :erm: Uploading from PC = fine. Installing from file on server = messed_up :mad:

using tools.php didn;t help either!!

I'm install in vbulletin 4.1.1

It's work...!

Big thanks @dartho......

Thanks very much Dartho … :)

For the Separate Sticky and Normal Threads mod that some people here may be using, I didn't bother trying your fix below as I didn't quite understand where to put it, so I don't know whether it would work or not …

$vbulletin->options['dt_separate_sticky_normal_active']=0;
$vbulletin->options['dt_separate_sticky_normal_remove']=0;

========================================

I DID DO this:

… adding it to these plugins, wrapping both plugins it your code:

It worked PERFECT !!! :up:


For the ads, I did locate the forumhome_ads_code template in your lightweight style and emptied it so it was blank.

It worked PERFECT as well !! :up:

See attached pic as to how a forum with ads and stickies now appears. NO graphic ads in lightweight style now and the stickies seem fine now, yet the ads and stickies are also fine in the main default site graphics style.

Thank you very much !!!

I have sent a second PayPal donation for you help in solving these integration issues with your lightweight style … :up:

Regards,
Doug

It wasn't you Mark - it is a confirmed bug in vbuilletin (which they consider "trivial") that has been there since 4.0 http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-3801


@Badgerdog - much appreciated :up:

I just installed this style and it completely broke my forum. All my forums are completely messed up now. I tried deleting the mobile style I imported in Style Manager, but that didn't help. I don't know what I did wrong, but can someone please help?

I added the mobile style via Style Manager in vBulletin, but it destroyed everything. Everything is messed up horribly. All my styling was gone, everything was stripped down and all out of wack.

I tried to re-import my old style but that reverted everything to the standard vbulletin styling.

Worse, when I go to certain subforums now, I get a blank screen, sometimes even when I try my home page.

I deleted the mobile style and deleted the css file from my root forum directory but neither changed anything.

Looking at my old main style in Style Manager, everything is in red meaning it's been overwritten.

I have no idea what do here.

Figured out that the blank screen was being caused by one of the child styles I had was royally messed up. I switched that forum to a different style that seemed to be working and it's coming up now. It's just that all the styling I had done previously is gone. I've started fixing a couple things manually to create some semblance of normalcy, but it's still a giant mess.

i think it is vbulletin bug see this

http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-8302

Thanks. Looks like that's what happened. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I can follow their fix. Since what I originally did completely broke everything, I tried to re-import the Master style so I could at least read the board. Unfortunately, it seems doing that over-wrote all my custom styling and I have no idea how to get it back.

do we need 2 rename lightweight.css.php back to lightweight.css after install???????

no - the php file generates the CSS output. Have a look inside and you'll see what I mean.

@PSC001 - sorry to hear about the grief. Can't believe this is still not fixed after a year ...

its not working for me :(

Your site looks OK to me?

Is there some way of having external pics that people refer to using the IMG code, be shown smaller so they don't overflow the right side of the screen causing the display to have to be scrolled sideways?

We use SevenSkins Image Resizer which works for all our other regular PC screen skins, but doesn't seem to be present in this Lightweight Style.

Thanks for any feedback .. :)

Regards,
Doug

For some reason the mobilelogo.png does not display in the header, and apparently there is no reference to $Logo anywhere in the code, as it is. It is specified in the definitions, but beyond there, it's not in the page generation code.

How do I place the logo in the header?

@Daffy - The logo is defined in the CSS so you can change there or overwrite the existing image file "images/misc/mobilelogo.png"

If you can;t see it being rendered, it could be that your brower doesn't support it, or if you have the options addon for this style you have enetered in text for the header which replaces the logo.

@BadgerDog - could you link me to a page where it's not working. I think I might need admin logo to sort this out, but don't imagine it would take long.

NEVER MIND I got it working!!

I couldn't upload the XML file, I got this error:

Thank you Sir .. :)

Sent you an email ...

Hi Dartho,

Nice work.

There are 3 hidden files in your zip file ... files name is "OneNote Table Of Contents.onetoc2" I guess we can delete them safely?

Yes you may - I only noticed those yesterday, damned microsoft ...

Brilliant! Tagged and nominated.

John

Again, how do you make the forumlogo appear in this style - it seems defined at one point, but not referenced in the actual page code. Any help, please?

Also, logging in via credentials doesn't seem to always work - it would cycle back to the login screen, and requires trying several times, eventually clicking on the direct link in the login confirmation that appears.

Why are you asking again when I already replied to your original post?

As for logins - different browsers and different platforms behave differently, I've never had an issue when using it via my device on my test site.

Thank for your style

Dartho, sorry for the repeat question - I didn't see your original reply, my bad. Your suggestions worked like a charm.

The login issue is still something I'm chasing - what devices are you using? This is happening on my end on iPhone.

Also, a small suggestion - including an image resize script into the style would be awesome, as that is pretty much all it is missing to deal with posts with images that invariably end up being too large.

Very very nice : http://facebookad.vn/forum
thank you

Dartho,

I'm having the same issue as BadgerDog in post #272 on the images extending out to the right side and I'm also using Seven Skins image resizer. Is there a fix in this style to make it so images stay within screensize?

Also, any update on CMS page compatibility?
How do I get rid of the sidebar in CMS page?
Also, on my CMS page, there is a dark grey background making it hard to read black text. How do I change that color to white?

Thanks for a awesome mobile style!

Well I sort of fixed my CMS page to look a little better. I got rid of the sidebar and widened the article area by editing these settings in the mobile style templates under vbcms.css. I set the r40 to 0px and the 160 to like 98%. I'm sure this is the wrong way to fix this issue but it's a temporary bandaid.

I also covered up the gray background in the article area by changing it from transparent to white (#FFFFFF).

The only thing left would be the images being re-sized smaller.

As a suggestion, just include this code:

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

It will automatically resize images for iPhones.

Also, adding this will automatically hide the toolbar on iPhones:

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

(or, can you give me a pointer where to add these myself?)

I tried searching without getting a good post, looked through 39 posts and didn't find the answer.

My users have to scroll through all the pages to get to the last post. I personally just click on the title and it takes me to the last post, and ideas what might be causing it for them?

Can you please specify where exactly to do this?

Thanks!

EDIT: I would also like to disable this mod in my lightweight style, but I have no idea how to do that. Can you please help me with that? I attach the product xml for it. Thank you so much!

Try entering in the code:

in teh disable add-ons section

Thank you so much. That did it! :up:

The only other issue is that my image thumbnails are really way too big for this style. Is there a way I can re-size them forum-wide for this style only?

dartho - after upgrading to 4.12

Can you fix the online users. It just shows array, changes were made to forumhome whos online.

Also when i click on a thread it redirects to a www instead of m. link. Anyway to fix that. (i uses assign a style to m.domain.com?

edit: Looks like if this is set to yes it causes the problem. I try No and it works fine but then some of my addons don't display correctly.

Always use Forum URL as Base Path yes or no

(any way to bypass this in your style)

dartho

I ended up setting Always use Forum URL as Base Path to no

then opening headerinclude for my main skins and change this code

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

I set it manually to mydomain/forums

This worked, let me know if you have any better way of doing this.

Just need the who is online fixed if possible.

I installed both the theme and the options plugin, but nothing happens.

Any ideas?

Its extremly good but now I have a problem between your add and this add :

When I click on the Article forum, iphone safari says :
too many redirects, can't open the page :(

But no problem with the standard template...

Any solutions please ? I can reward to fix it please...

I would suggest you disable that add-on in this style - there is even an option :
Disable article forum for certain styles (Use a comma separated list of styleids)
in it just for this.

Yes but this option doesn't work :(

Any idea why ?

By the way, is your "simply mobile" theme available to test please ?

Thanks a lot !

Sorry if this is a basic question. Any way to add a function to upload a pic from the phone/device using this style? Or, is that strictly an app related function?
