LJ friends page on PDA - no dice
I tried to create a custom friends view that would let my view my friends page on my PocketPC as an AvantGo custom channel, but no dice.
I created a style which was fairly minimalist (no userpics, very little markup, no tables, etc.) and it seemed to work out all right. I also had &checkcookies=true at the end of the URL (and it worked in the preview in my real web browser). I also tried to login from my PDA and got a result page (after the next sync) saying "Hello, pne". But still I didn't get friends-only entries when I viewed the page on my PDA.
Also, the links didn't seem to work properly -- I changed the links to include &usestyle=lynx for a "lighter" format, and that worked, too, on my browser, but not in the PDA. So it tried to display the left-hand navbar and indented entries and userpics and all sorts of stuff I didn't want.
After a couple of tries I just gave up and removed my custom channel again. Pity; it would have been nifty.

I want to be able to view my friends page barebones on my PDA. I have an internet connection, so I would view it through that (as opposed to avantgo). Unfortunately, the style thing is giving me trouble right now. Do you still have the style that you created?
no subject
I imagine it's the style I called 'pne-friends-avantgo' (http://www.livejournal.com/styles/browse/styleinfo.bml?styleid=211187).
I just marked it public so you can have a look at it if you wish.
Here's how it looks like applied to your journal (http://www.livejournal.com/customview.cgi?styleid=211187&user=spatulistic&checkcookies=true&nooverride=1).

Could I continue to view my friends page via that url you gave me, or should I adapt the style myself?
no subject
I'm not planning on modifying that style any time soon, but to be on the safe side, you should probably create a style of your own and copy the code from my style into it.
Email or IM me if you need help: email is my username at livejournal.com, IM is on my userbio page. (You're most likely to catch me on AIM, though you could try the others.)
