WAP/WML Webring

[Cobra!]

I just came up with an idea for a web-ring, or should I say a "wapring".

As far as I know, there is no directory for WML/WAP sites out there, and figured it'd be cool if we got together and made a webring to help people navigate the WMLsphere.

Would anyone be interested in joining, or making a WML site to join?

Can you believe that I had done something similar in 2021? When I had discovered this WAP thing thanks to your website and for InvisibleUp I was thinking of doing something like that in my webspace at Igloo Cafe. I had done some PHP code and a little testing and it worked great, but because wApua (WML client I use a lot) can't read HTTP headers (such as redirect headers) I had to make each page displays a previous and next URL link like it does on my Red Robot webring.

Sadly I have lost my entire WML files of my webspace on there and I only have the WML structure of the webring in a Notepad++ tab. If you want I could try recreating all that and do it again.

Yeah, would be good to get something going. Does WAP support PHP?

Obviously, just you need to add a header("Content-type: text/vnd.wap.wml"); on the beginning of the PHP script so that the webserver requests that PHP file from the clients as a WML document.

I have phones that still support full WAP/WML, I can go test things.

After so many annoying troubles with my Nginx server that for some reason I can't make PHP scripts run on my /home directory, I decided to temporarily move this prototype to my Ctrl-C.club space. For now I managed to create the next and previous navigation and the widget.

@Cobra! If you want to start placing this replace the ?usr=gecko GET on the next/previous URLs to your username

So https://ctrl-c.club/~geckof/wapring/?usr=cobradile ?

So https://ctrl-c.club/~geckof/wapring/?usr=cobradile ?

something like this

Code

<!-- BEGIN WAPRING CODE -->
<anchor>
<-<go href="//ctrl-c.club/~geckof/wapring/prev.php?usr=cobradile" />
</anchor>

[<anchor>
THE WAP-RING<go href="//ctrl-c.club/~geckof/wapring/index.wml#0" />
</anchor>]

<anchor>
-><go href="//ctrl-c.club/~geckof/wapring/next.php?usr=cobradile" />
</anchor>

Yeah, works great! Hopefully we'll see more sites join in the future!

You got a WML site yourself? Maybe you can join the WAPring!

[Melooon]

Can this forum join the webring?? Iv never touched the WAP2 code on here, but maybe I could add the wring widget!

Yeah, I'd say it counts!

Is there a way to register for the ring, @GeckoF, or would just adding the widget do it for you?

Also 400th post!

[Guest]

Sorry but unfortunately it doesn't count since the webring is rather intended for wApua-friendly sites and those made in WML 1.0 to 1.2.

BTW I'm going to move the wapring homepage to wap.igloocafe.space/~gecko instead of CTRL-C.club soon, stay alert.

I just added a few minutes ago information to join the webring on the homepage. No forms or anything, just contact me, I add it to a .txt list and that's it.

[Melooon]

A lesser-known fact, but this forum, fully supports WML 1.1 What sort of foool would not!?

[Guest]

I will not accept it anyways
