I want my users to be able to read the pages via wap phone. Is this somehow possible? I believe it would require to translate nodes' content's HTML to WML. Has someone done something like this before?

Is there somewhere a list and description of third-party modules?

Hi,

I was wondering if there had been any progress on this issue yet? Has the advent of 3G technology has made this more possible? Just wondering...

You could create a WML theme, but even if you override every themable function in Drupal, you'd still get HTML from unthemable parts and user-submissions.

I think the best bet is to use a base WML theme, coupled with an HTML to WML converter. Drupal's output is mostly semantic, so if you strip out all non-semantic tags you should get something workable.

Shouldn't a very light weight html theme also be ok for mobile browsers?

i began work on a wap/mobile versions, that appears as a module, and overrides all themes.. i called the module "mobile".

if your browser doesn't send accept html or xhtml, but it does send accept wml, then you get wml, otherwise it's xhtml-mp.

it detects paragraphs, imgs and divs, and translates those to wml equivs if possible, and strips tags it doesn't recognise.

however, i gotta modulise, and use more hooks before i submit it.

Wouldn't it be easier to use XHTML? (WAP 2.0)
!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd"

See http://www.upoc.com/wap/index.jsp for an example of a WAP page.

What about a filter that would make user submissions XHTML valid? Basically, put the / at the end of the img tags, br tags, etc
