I’ve given up on trying to get my custom WAP file to be displayed on my internet ready phone. I’ve followed all the directions and advice found in the forum and nothing is working. When I click to use WD’s WAP file it works fine. Is there a way to customize WD’s WAP file to show only what I need to see??
In a word…no. I tried for about 2 weeks with even just changing one little thing and uploading it…changing it it any way gives me an error. It does work with some carriers but not with mine (Alltel).
Thanks Linda…I had read where others have changed the WD WAP to suit their own needs.
I know…that’s what set me on the path to producing my own but it just never would work.
Went down the same route but I find that the default one suits my needs.
Just wish I could find a way to eliminate the two graphs.
YEah thr graphs are truly not useful at all…Maybe I’ll ask Brian to take them out…
Yep I finally decided that myself. Whoever can get the graphs eliminated is a hero!! Likewise the large number of *.wbmp files that are present as well.
Brian any way you can take out the graphs from the WAP file in WD??
hmm, working great on my end

Response from my phone “The requested page cannot be displayed.”
yeah same with mine. I think I’m not configuring something correctly in WD itself for my WAP file.
Try accessing my WAP Page via your cell phones, and tell me if it looks correct. I have verzion as my carrier and my phone is a LG VX7000.
I dont think you would need my radar image or my webcam image, but just for the heck of it…try my site on your phones, and tell me if it looks/displays correctly.
I did not use the WD WAP thing…it is just a custom page and if my layout works for your phones, you could just copy my code (View Source), from the page, and edit a radar image for your area. etc etc
I also added this page to my website, but it is only seen (as Mobile Weather), on my “about” page ONLY, in the left side bar of that page only. I did this figuring I would be the only one accessing, and no need to add it to the left side bar of all my pages. as long as it is getting uploaded, the data is always current/every 5 minutes.
anyways the WAP Address is here, if you want to try this out:

If It does work and you want to use the basic same code, to upload a page of your own. I can also mail you a copy of the original wxlocal12, which gets placed into the wd/webfiles folder, then is converted to the wx12 page. this will be even easier for you as all the %Tags will be there and ready to be placed into the webfiles folder, other than editing the radar image and webcam image, and perhaps the copyright info at bottom of page, along with page title (Wareham, ma weather)

hello lulu,
1st) try clearing your browser cache completely on your cell phone.
2nd) make sure you have the exact addrsss correctly as posted above
what type of cell phone do you have, are you using openwave?
can you access my page via your computer browser?
chris
The cache IS clear. Motorola KRZR K1mm on Alltel. Address is correct. Openwave.
Nevermind…I found it.
…you found my WAP Site? does it look Ok on your cell phone browser?
do you want a copy of the original wxlocal12.html or do you wish to just view the Source/Code and take it from there to create your own, with your other Info/setting’s?
I just set this up simply, so when I want to see a quick glance at those thing’s, the page was made for that reason for my cell phone. I can also view my regular Home page via my cell phone and get pretty much the same info, and it all looks fine on my cell phone bowser with exception of the webcam image and radar being too big to display on my home page, But the weather Conditions themselfs, once I scroll a long way down to them, show up also very nicely.
…Chris
re the graphs, you can create a custom wap , and remove them
on my phone i could see the graphs ok, so they are usefull
I must disagree with you on two points…the graphs on a cell phone (mine at least) tell me nothing. One blue line, one black line, one black border…itty, bitty numbers @ the bottom.
As for the custom wap…yeah right,…when pigs fly. :roll:
note that if you create a custom wap file in exactly the same format as the default then it will work
also note that there are coloured gif graphs for the wap which more modern phones can view
Hello again lulu,
well I also just realized this:
there is no way you will be able to make a page like mine for the simple fact being I am using carterlake templates, with Ajax updating. I realized this after viewing all your pages, and the only page of yours that I thought may be viewable via my cell phone was your page ending with “WeatherDisplay.htm”, so I tried going to that page via my cell phone but it was a No Go.
only other thing I could suggest would be to download the carterlake templates…edit one similiar to mine with your radar image etc, also adding the current conditions. Then after that name it to wxlocal10…then place it in your webfiles folder. then in the other setup screen for times to create/upload…set it to upload at whatever interval…5 minutes…10 minutes…15min 30 min…etc etc. to your server. then you will have a page with current conditions, possiblly a radar image, if your desire this…that will be viewable via your cell phone.
exactly what data of your’s do you wish to view via your cell phone? I am assuming at least you want to see your the current conditions…High’s/Low’s etc.?
you could also download the carterlake “One page” Template, which should also be viewable via a cell phone browser and will display current conditions, but this also would need to be placed in your webfiles folder and set a time for create/upload to your server.
either way…Good Luck and hopefully you will figure something out…Chris
