@AshAbed,

Amazing result ... 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 ...

@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!

Cheers!!!

Thanks AshAbed ! Put the Home choice back;-) I am very happy with it..

Add 'Home' link to horizontal navbar
Click Edit templates
Expand the template group 'Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates'
Edit the 'navbar' template
Search for the code:

      <!--<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]">Home</a></td>
        <td style="padding:0px" class="vbmenu_control">|</td>--> 

Replace that code with:

      <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]">Home</a></td>
        <td style="padding:0px" class="vbmenu_control">|</td> 

I haven't tried this myself but I'm pretty sure it'll work.

Search Button in navbar
Click Edit templates
Expand the template group 'Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates'
Edit the 'navbar' template
Add the following code to the very end of the template:

<form action="search.php" method="post" name="vbform">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
                    <div><input type="text" class="bginput" name="query" size="35" value="" style="border-top:1px solid;border-bottom:1px solid;border-left: 1px solid;border-right:1px solid;BORDER-COLOR: #000000;width: 110px;height: 15px;" />        <input type="submit" class="button" name="dosearch" value="Search" accesskey="s" /></div>

</form>

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.

Thanks a million to AshAbed.

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/showp...7&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/forumdis...f=2&styleid=11). Is there any way to get rid of the space.gif lines?

Thanks again

1 - Can you post the code you added to the templates here? I'll take that code and edit it so it works with mobile phones.
2 - Are the space.gif's only showing up on that page or also on the post pages and such? I can't view posts because I'm not registered.

I installed the BVShoutbox created by tpircsvb . You can read the original thread at vbulletin.org (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt...ght=bvshoutbox). For your convenience, I attached the package below.

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 :

<if condition="($permissions['shoutboxpermissions'] & CANREADSHOUTS)"><!-- shoutbox -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="$stylevar[tablewidth]" align="center">
<thead>
	<tr>
		<td class="tcat" colspan="2">
			<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_shoutbox')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_shoutbox" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_shoutbox].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
			<a href="shoutbox.php?$session[sessionurl]">Shoutbox</a>
		</td>
	</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_shoutbox" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_shoutbox]">
	<tr>
		<td class="alt1" width="100%">
			<iframe src="shoutbox.php?$session[sessionurl]do=iframe" width="100%" height="120" scrolling="yes" frameborder="0" name="shoutbox" id="shoutbox"></iframe>
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<!-- end shoutbox -->

I tried to included the codes inside the FORUMHOME template in the WAP style but doesnt work

2 - Are the space.gif's only showing up on that page or also on the post pages and such? I can't view posts because I'm not registered.

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:

<img src="spacer.gif">

I deleted the code and now my forum doesnt display that lines anymore. Thanks for your time. Really appreciate it!!!

Cheers!!!

Alright, once I get to my other computer I'll install that hack and get it working with the skin - it might be in a few hours though, I have some other work I need to finish up first.

Take your time mate... take your time...

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!!!

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

Thanks and best regards

wow. this thread is alive again!
