WDL or Dashboard on Blackberry or other internet mobiles

Is there an easy way of viewing WDL or Dashboard on my Blackberry Storm or any other internet enabled mobile device?

I understand mobiles at present have trouble with Adobe flash but can I display the data in any other way?

Thanks.
Brett.

Certainly for the iPhone (which has no flash), there is a web program that displays WDL data. http://sietse.net/exoops/modules/iwdl/

You can see my mobile site (even on a normal web browser) at http://www.gm4jjj.org.uk/weather/iwdl/ - all data generated by meteohub in the usual WDL way.

BTW, I notice that meteohub does not fully populate some of the fields like "warmest day" and other records.

Hi gm4jjj.
Thanks for that. Seems to work on my BlackBerry.

The manual says "unpack to your web server"

Is the web server my Meteohub server or my internet web space?

Your internet web space.

BTW my url has changed now: (New domain at last).

http://www.dunfermline-weather.co.uk/weather/iwdl is the new link.

I have an auto redirect to that page from my WDL live webpage if you are on an Apple iPhone or iPod Touch.

Thanks for that.
I extracted my files first then copied them to directory iwdl on my server. Hope this is OK manual says extract on the server.

I have renamed the file and edited it but when I browse to http://home2.btconnect.com/brettoliver/iwdl it can't find the clientraw.txt file

My clientraw file is in the main directory not in a folder.

Any idea what my setting should be? I have tried various and it is now set as below. I have tried "","/" etc.
Where are the clientraw files
settings["clientraw_dir"] = ;

Thanks Brett.

Brett, I am not sure what path you would use for the root directory, the best place to ask is over at:

http://www.weather-watch.com/smf/index. ... 872.0.html

The author will be able to help.

Thanks. Found it. Someone had already asked the question. Clientraw in the root directory setting is

Where are the clientraw files
settings["clientraw_dir"] = "../"

Just got to get it working correctly on my Blackberry.

Brett.

How do you do the Blackberry visualization?
Is this also iwdl?
