Linking to apps within the app world doesn't seem to work. Has anyone run into this problem?

[usr501]

your <a href should look like this-- http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/screenshots/18560198/?lang=en

i setup a mobile page  for the launch http://m.brooklynn.ky

I'm looking to set up multiple domains to connect my own domain, and also Blackberry World for bb10.

In my config.xml I have

<widget
    ...
  <access uri="http://video.virtualscribe.com" subdomains="true" />
  <access uri="http://blackberry.com" subdomains="true" />
</widget>

 But when I post my my vendor name using _blank to invoke a card in bb10 from my main.html, I get a blank screen in the invoked card.

<p><a href="http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/vendor/5881/?lang=en" target="_blank">Get our other apps</a> in <strong>Blackberry World</strong> to read more works by International authors.</p>

I have also tried setting up config.xml as 

<widget
    ...
  <access uri="*" subdomains="true" />
  <access uri="http://video.virtualscribe.com" subdomains="true" />
</widget>

 with no change in behavior of blank invoked card.

[usr501]

try this in the head section of your index.file

		<script><!--external links-->
					function openWebLinkInBrowser() {
						// open web link in browser
						blackberry.invoke.invoke({
							target: "sys.browser",
							uri: "http://yoursiteaddress" 
						}, onInvokeSuccess, onInvokeError);
					}
					function onInvokeSuccess() {
						alert("Success");
					}

					function onInvokeError(error) {
						alert("Error, error: " + error);
					}
					</script><!--/external links-->

Thanks, usr501, but no response with your script, no error alerts either.

I tried the following:

<a href="http://developer.blackberry.com" target="_blank">Developer</a>
<a href="http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/screenshots/20081672/?lang=en" target="_blank">Screen Shot</a>
<a href="http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/vendor/5881" target="_blank">Vendor</a>

and was able to pull up the BB Developer site but App World Blackberry World is not showing up.

Linking to appworld.blackberry.com should technically open the App World App. I'm going to assume that functionality hasn't been programmed yet unless someone can verified they've got it working.

[usr501]

it works for me. try with a trailing slash  in javascript

target: "sys.browser",
							uri: "http://brooklynn.ky/sitemanager/" 

 a page ends  with an ext. if you're targeting a directory that defaults to an index page like --index.php/index.html etc use the trailing slash

Why are you linking to your website? The thread is about links to apps within App World not working.

Have you specifically tried your method but linking to an App within App World?
