Actually, I didn't miss the posts. The 10th shortcut still does not work, the latest update I have for the NorthShortcut.zip file shows 1/9/2008, and Jfisher hasn't offered an update, even though his message on 1/22 said that there would be a fix forthcoming. So the problem with the 10th shortcut remains. I was hoping my post might re-start the conversation, or offer a solution that had not yet been posted, or offer JFisher some insight into the app that would help to fix the problem.

Is there a newer version, with the fix for the #10 shortcut yet? Really hoping to get this to work.

I personally still use *both* the old version with the web-based icon retrieval *and* the newer version which pulls icons off the shortcut directory -- simply because I love the ability to have icons on my BB for my favorite sites with a minimum of hassle.

I don't think jfisher has updated this. I can't imagine having 10 shortcuts anyway, so it was never an issue for most. I'm sure he'll be around at some point and post an update.

Is it possible to deploy it with Software Configuration's, so that all my users have the same links ?

When I click on my shortcut icon on the homescreen it just keeps saying downloading icon with a bar going across the screen - just a continual loop. I'm not sure I did it correctly. I downloaded the program ota and ran the hub utility setup with my short url - but no icon. Is that the problem? I can't figure out how to do the icon. THANKS.

Just a quick question about this app. Can the complete installation be done OTA, or do I have to use my laptop at some time?

Having the same problem.

Haven't had this problem myself, but in previous replies in this thread they say that if it hangs up trying to download an icon, you've probably got a typo in the url for the icon.

Personally, I prefer to load my icons on my SD card -- the how-to on that is also in earlier messages in the thread.

EDIT:

Wait, I might have missed something -- when you say "but no icon" do you mean that the icon you wanted doesn't show up, or do you mean that you opted not to specify a custom icon?

If it's the first case, check your icon's URL for typos.

If it's the latter case, check to see if the field where you would put in the icon's URL still has the "http://" in it. That's auto-filled by the program, and it may be that it is checking that location (i.e. http://[nothing]) for your icon...

If the "http://" is in there, try deleting it (so the field is empty), saving your changes, and clicking the shortcut again.

If that solves your problem, please post it here so everyone can benefit ...

Also, thanks Jonathan for an awesome program!

Jonathan created a great app and I have used it for a while now however after finding that my wife couldn't deal with the nuances of the configuration I decided to create a service to create Personal, Intranet and Promotional Shortcuts for a fee. Please check out my website and some of the benefits.

Main Site (where you can learn about and purchase the shortcut):
Custom Blackberry Web Shortcuts

Benefits of Custom Web Shortcuts:
Benefits of Custom Shortcuts

Download some Free Web Shortcuts that I have created:

Again, if you don't want to pay, I get it and Jonathan's app is very well done and I have used it myself.

Can this app be installed on an 8700c? I am running 4.2 os, but the 8700c does not have an SD card so where exactly would I install the shortcut folder of the current version? I tried installing the shortcut folder in the media folder but when I click on the shortcuts, it tells me that an SD card is required....I've read the whole thread and did not see this addressed on a non SD card device...Just wondering if it can be done, and if so how? Thanks.

[John Clark]

The version that goes on the SD card will not work. The original version (in the first post, I think) will still work.

[dts5.1]

Thanks man. I'll give it a shot.

I don't have a place to host my shortcut icons...would photobucket work?
