I have an old Palm Pilot Professional; it's like the original beetle. It doesn't surf the 'net, or do the cool stuff the latest palms do, but I can keep my address book on it, and read PalmDoc files.

I came up with this script about 6 months ago when one of my subscribers, a "palm fanatic" requested a means to get stories from my site in PalmDoc format. (The most common means of reading documents on a palm)

The palmlib script for converting text to PalmDoc is not my own (I don't even understand it!), I just "tweaked" the original VB printthread.php to return a string instead of printing it out to the browser, then pass it through the "Palm Converter"

No PHP changes are required, just 3 template changes...

Included are 2 images:

- palmpilot.gif (The VB 2.0.1 default graphic theme)
- palmpilot_transparent.gif (A transparent .gif with a palm icon, to use on your own graphics)

See a working demo at http://www.coffeeintherain.com/forums, or see the attached screenshot.

Enjoy!

Although I've had it installed on my board for quite some time, I finally started using it recently and I've noticed a glitch.

For some reason I don't receive the full text of the post. It cuts off shortly after the copyright section, which is about one page of copy

Anyone else run into this and have a fix?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
