I couldn’t get it to work either, so please post if you figure it out.

Topic: iBackpack - Backpack Pages Optimized for iPhone and iPod touch

I put this code in a divider title, as instructed and don’t see any difference. Am I missing something?

You don’t need the extra quotes around the image

Topic: Neat way of linking to webpages in backpack

I do not understand:

Upload it to a website online
Use the usual backpack method of linking to a webpage, but instead of putting a link name, link to the picture online. e.g.

Can anybody provide more details, please?

Topic: Neat way of linking to webpages in backpack

@kpaulson – The format for linking to a webpage is:

"Link Name":http://example.com

More Textile formatting tips can be found here.

Help me out as I’m not great with technology. What is the “usual backpack method” of linking to a webpage?

Topic: Why can't I use strikethrough in textile?

I have also had problems with certain Textile codes. Can someone from Backpack please post all of the Textile codes that are intentionally disabled in Backpack? It doesn’t make sense to direct users there from the Backpack Help pages when you have disabled parts of it.

Perhaps there needs to be a page created/hosted by 37 Signals showing what codes to use for formatting in Backpack.

Thank you.

Topic: Why can't I use strikethrough in textile?

Thanks for the clarification Jeff – at least now I know I’ve not been doing something stupid. It might be a good idea to change the textile help link at the bottom of http://www.backpackit.com/help/pages/ because it provides incorrect information and wastes your user’s time. So textile strikethrough and underline don’t work – anything else?

Topic: Why can't I use strikethrough in textile?

Hi everyone. We’re no longer using the “stock” textile implementation. We’ve disabled very few features, but one of them is strikethrough text. Strikethrough can wreak havoc when you’re not expecting it, and it’s a rarely used formatting aide.

I understand that sometimes strikethrough text can be a useful signifier, but at the cost of making other hyphenation unpredictable, it doesn’t seem worth it.

Topic: Why can't I use strikethrough in textile?

still not working in Backpack del tags work, + signs don’t. I’m a Mac user, surely this can’t possibly make any difference?

Topic: iBackpack - Backpack Pages Optimized for iPhone and iPod touch

that’s great stuff, thanks!

Topic: Neat way of linking to webpages in backpack

It’s so cool to see an actual “tip” in the “Tips & Tricks” topic. I’ve just been using anchors for text links.

Topic: Why can't I use strikethrough in textile?

I was wondering this, too…count me in on the curious to know the difference between Backpack Textile and the usual version.

Topic: Should uploading a 7MB file take longer than 2 minutes?

Actually that sounds about right for 512Mbps up. It used to take me a long time for all uploads when I had Comcast’s base (6 Mbps) tier service. Now I have the upgraded 8 Mbps tier and 1024 Mbps upload and it is much faster.

BTW, I don’t think you ever get the full 512. Like everything else, the rated bandwidth is greater than actual. Plus, if you have any other bandwidth being used that will have an impact. E.g., your browser is probably open, maybe with Gmail checking periodically along with other websites causing traffic back and forth. Google notifier, Windows OR Google Desktop Search and many other applications.

Any update here? Last comment from 37signals is Nov 2007.

Topic: Recommendations for Backpack Dashboard widget?

Not really. There is one widget that is almost 2 years old now, and it is pretty limited (only sees the first list on a page, etc). It would be great if someone came up with an updated one.

@Thierry

Unfortunately, I can’t find a way to inject code into any other 37signals products like I can do with Backpack. I’m afraid the only way it’s going to happen is if 37signals implements it on their own, or if they hire me. ;)

Glad the changes seem to be working for everyone!

Topic: iBackpack - Backpack Pages Optimized for iPhone and iPod touch

Fantastic – thanks!

Topic: iBackpack - Backpack Pages Optimized for iPhone and iPod touch

it works, thank you !!

Is there any chance that we have something like iBackpack for HighriseHQ ?

Topic: iBackpack - Backpack Pages Optimized for iPhone and iPod touch

iBackpack has now been updated to account for the recent Backpack updates. Current users should see the changes immediately (if not, try reloading the page).

Let me know if you find any more bugs or have any other comments! ibackpack at violetpixel dot com.

@YinHoNg: Could you provide me with more details via email?

Thanks!

Topic: iBackpack - Backpack Pages Optimized for iPhone and iPod touch

and same for me. Any available update of iBackpack ?

Topic: iBackpack - Backpack Pages Optimized for iPhone and iPod touch

Same here.

Topic: iBackpack - Backpack Pages Optimized for iPhone and iPod touch

The February 2008 changes to Backpack seem to have broken iBackpack on the iPod Touch for me. I can see the frame with the pages but cannot scroll through it and there are other formatting quirks.

Is it just me?

Topic: Why can't I use strikethrough in textile?

Another one has question is the underline (You are a pleasant child.).

I copy all the quick reference in my Backpack and found that.

Topic: Why can't I use strikethrough in textile?

Same question in my Backpack.

I directly copy the text in the quick reference (I’m sure not sure.) and it did not work.

Thanks for the help.
