August 8, 2008I Need a Mobile Style for phpBB2
Comments (2) I recently joined the 21st century and purchased a smart phone (a blackberry). I’ve been using it for quite a few things, including browsing the web, posting on blogs, and even using my phpBB2 boards. It works okay, but it would work a lot better with an appropriate style.
I’ve done some googling, but if anyone has a link or suggestion for a source for a decent style for phpBB2 that caters to mobile users, that would be great. Links accepted. 
I have seen some folks that include code that forces users into a style choice based on the browser string… for what it’s worth I don’t intend to do that. Instead I will take a domain like www.example.com and supplement it with mobile.example.com. That way the user makes the choice rather than me. If they want to browse the full board on their mobile device, I will let them. If someone wants to browse the “slim” version from a regular device, why stop them? I haven’t worked out the details on how that will work yet, but I will be sure to post them here when I do.
But first I need the template / style.

I am almost 100% sure that a mobile style is either on the phpbb.com styles page, or the phpbbhacks.com page. It has been over a year since I last went style-hunting…

I had looked around phpbb.com for a while but didn’t see anything that was dedicated to a mobile phone. There are some “minimal” styles but that’s not quite the same thing. I googled some and found a couple of options; one of which required an annual fee to use. I don’t think so.
I can make my own before I do something like that.
Heck, getting rid of graphics and stuff is something I should easily be able to do.
