[hobbit] Enabling WML for blackberry viewing

[Ruhala, Jemimah J.]

I am currently finishing a patch to wmlgen.c that causes it to spit out
simplified html that looks great on Blackberry.  I've got it to show
graphs that fit the screen, and the status graphics and colors, and
reasonable fonts.  I'm not sure what the official channel for patch
submission is, but I will send it to anyone that wants it.

etc/hobbitserver.cfg:BBWAP="$BBSERVERWWWURL/wml"
# Hobbit URL prefix for the WAP/WML files.

Oh the wonders of grep =)

So it seems all I had to do was add --wml to BBGENOPTS and now the wml
dir is being filled with index.wml and bb2.wml.

I'd test right now but...led lined room... =(

Thanks for the help, Tod!

First, yes, WML is the most standardized way of making it PDA friendly.

 

Second, I would put it in BBGENOPTS.  

 

Finally, every node gets the default WAP cards for the default tests
(they're included somehow with the --wml option that I can't remember
off the top of my head).  The WML:[+|-]testname[,[+|-]testname] syntax
is for modifying that default value.  You can add testnames with +, or
remove default tests already defined with -.

 

I don't know how well they display as the only experience I have with it
is playing with it before we went production with 4.2 (so, during
build-out phase).  Apologies for the lack of experience.

First off, is WML the best option I've got to make Hobbit viewable by
black berry phones (or any PDA/phone?)

Secondly, I read in the bb-hosts man page that I need to start bbgen
with --wml.  Now in etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg it has CMD bbgen $BBGENOPTS
--report.  Should I add --wml to the end of that or stick it in the
variable BBGENOPTS that is made in etc/hobbitserver.cfg? 

Finally, once bbgen kicks into gear with --wml how do I make the page
for the devices to view?

WML:[+|-]testname[,[+|-]testname] <--- confuses my poor self =(
