Hi My home screen is a Custom HTML screen. When a user types in a string and presses submit, the submit button queries a PHP script and when the response comes back, I want a screen to appear... how can I do this? What does the script have to return? I guess something like : "itemId":"12345678", "itemType":"JC_AlertView", "loadScreenWithItemId":"12345679" ? Thanks Ed

Look at any JSON data from any app.

My understanding from Niraj is that your php will need to will need to return the results list and the hyperlinks will need to look like this: <a href="appName://screenName?var1=val1&var2=val2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">appName://screenName?var1=val1&var2=val2</a> What I'm not sure about is how it manages to generate that screen "on the fly" - you may have to have reference to an existing screen that is able to be passed a parameter. How you read that parameter in the new screen is beyond me. I've asked about this but still getting my head around how it's done.

Sarah is referencing the URL Scheme technique -- a way to have a link pull up another BT Screen. Use links in HTML pages, links in PDF files and links on Buttons to open up the specified Screen within a BuzzTouch app. This technique takes advantage of the iOS URL Scheme to register the BuzzTouch app with a custom URL. From any app on the device, a tap on the custom URL myApp://myScreenNickname will launch the app into the screen with that nickname. https://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/BuzzTouch%20URL%20Scheme%20with%20Xcode%205.pdf For Ed's case, he needs to learn loadScreenObject.

Use this post to learn loadScreenObject. Read it up to the point where theBigCoyote and Kittsy go back and forth. Then ponder ... You will get it! Also, download Smug's PHP package, link is in that same post: https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=0AEFF1909A28E9AC27DD126 -- Niraj
