Making theme OTA

[ajc3designs]

When you make your theme OTA you are making it available for people to download it from the net to there BlackBerry. Here are the steps:

1. Complete your theme.

2. Export your theme by going to File > Export



3. Choose the Folder you want to export it to on your computer



4. Export the theme for OTA



Once it is exported we need to get it on the server of your choice. Do to that you will need an ftp client. I use Filezilla, it's easy to use and very effective.

5. Find the folder on your computer in the left pane of Filezilla, highlight and drag the .jad and ALL of the .cod files to the right pane.



In the right pane you will see all of the files you uploaded to the server. The path to the .jad file is your OTA link.




Example:
Your Domain: your-site.com
Your Subdirectory: /themes
Your Jad: /com_plazmic_theme_your-theme.jad

that would all translate to:
your-site.com/themes/com_plazmic_theme_your-theme.jad

Thanks for the info but it's also necessary to have a .htacces file on the server in order to the link work properly, right?

That depends on the server. I am on a server now that doesn't require it. But if you do its:

AddType text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor .jad
AddType application/vnd.rim.cod .cod

On my old server I had to have one. This is the code I used.
