Here's a little something I've been working on lately. The files expect to be in a subfolder of the HTML folder -- I suggest C:\Program Files\Ipswitch\Whatsup\HTML\mobile. It would then be accessed by https://servername/mobile/ (note that you need that trailing slash.)

Access control is an exercise left up to you.
Edit: I'm going to build access control into this, hopefully with a link into the WUG authentication system, otherwise with a fixed username/password

Our setup is a basic one, version 11.03 with no external SQL server or IIS involved; I don't know how it would react in a different environment.
Edit: Apparently others have this working on IIS and/or external database installations. Also, it seems to work under WUG version 12 as well.

There's a config file for setting a few basic things; you shouldn't have to touch the other files at all (unless you want to.)

Also handy for standard browsers when you don't have all day to wait for the traditional interface to show you what you're looking for!

Post any questions, comments, etc.

This is great ! What I can tell you is that :

> It does not work with IIS (I get http 500, internal server error). If you have any idea...

> It does work with an external sql server.

Reading, writing and arithmetic - If you need to choose, please take option 1.

Yes this does work, great job!

We are running v11.0.3 on the standard build with MSDE, myself and the rest of the network engineering team have BlackBerry 8703e mobiles. 

It works well for displaying concise info, however, I have noticed that on one team members BB he show the background color for the device status, and my BB does not.  Must be BB setting, any thoughts?

I'm working on extending this a little more to include a tree view (nested levels) and the ability to put a device in Maint mode and take it out again.  Anyone interested in assisting?

How is your blackberry getting to the correct site by going to the https: site you listed above?  If you're WUG environment is internal, how is that DNS name visible through the blackberry browser?  Do you have your WUG host name DNS entry posted so a public IP address can get to it?  Thanks for the help.

In your browser options you can choose what type of stylesheet to request; as a handheld device, it should be set to handheld. This might possibly cause problems with a very few other sites, but only if they're not well coded.
