vBWAPMontoring v.1.0a

This hack uses code written by NanoEntity's (Top 10 Hack) and changed by d3f (MSN6Tab), both available at vbulletin.org. Thomas Rudant's WAP Monitoring block for phpnuke was a source of inspiration. All credit to all of them!

Basically, this hack WAP-enables the latest threads in forums. I believe lots more can be done with WAP in conjunction with PHP for data-mining information from Forums.

No templates or hacking of php files is required. Just upload 2 php files and WAP-enable your server, instructions on how to Web-enable included. Check if your php has xml support

You can see more threads and exclude forums by changing values within last.php file, one of files, contained in attached zip.

I'd like to hear from all those that implement this hack, and be informed of any extra features that they may be added.

Zip file updated:

-to avoid conflicts between html and wml headers, index.wml is kept in a subdirectory of forums directory;
-to sort out header information error in some servers, turning on output buffering, a special thanks to Linux

I fixed this problem

just turn on output buffering.
i.e. put

PHP:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ob_start();

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

at the beginning of last.php


it will looks like this

PHP:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php
ob_start();
header("Content-type: text/vnd.wap.wml");
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

looks very promising! Thanks for sharing..

This is a great Hack... Just what I wanted.

But, I just noticed that I am able to read all threads and see my forum through my WAP phone without any modifications using Google. If I go to google, and go to my vB forum through Google, google someone converts each page to a nicely readable format for my cellphone, and I can read threads, profiles, topics etc.
I havent been able to login to an account yet though

Hello Robink:

I haven't tried out the google's approach. Anyhow the WAP hack is to offer information in a readable manner in the limited screen of a WAP-enabled mobile phone.

You can check the latest threads at my site either using a WAP-enabled mobile phone and point it to http://www.myiwc.com/test or using WAP browser such as one at http://www.wappy.to and pointing to the test page I have made available. Opera browser allows also to access WAP pages.

[Robink]

Quite nice. But is it possible to read the threads too?

[Tayeb]

Dear Robink:

As I said you're limited to the screen of your WAP-enabled mobile's screen. So it'd be difficult to read a thread.

Just check on the http://www.wappy.to point the browser at http://www.myiwc.com/test and use say the Wapsilon Nokia 6210 link to view on a Nokia simulator.
