When I create a screen in the Control Panel using any other plugin I get correct JSON: { "itemId": "3FEFBF6BC468340D3112771", "itemType": "RD_simpleSound", "itemNickname": "sound", "navBarTitleText": "sound" } When I create a screen in the Control Panel using my new plugin I get missing JSON: { "itemId": "4E00F3C9092C11992985786", "itemType": "RD_simpleDraw", "itemNickname": "Draw" } Notice the "navBarTitleText": "Draw" is missing. This happens on BT.com and self hosted so it must be something wrong in my plugin code but I just can't find it. Can anyone tell me what might be causing this? Thank you.

I wrote in the other post. have you tried this? Red, I believe it doesn't work properly because you didn't import any of the BT files in the RD_simpleDraw.m file. #import <UIKit/UIKit.h> #import <Foundation/Foundation.h> #import "JSON.h" #import "BT_application.h" #import "BT_strings.h" #import "BT_viewUtilities.h" #import "BT_appDelegate.h" #import "BT_item.h" #import "BT_debugger.h" Thus, the json and normal functions don't interact with the plugin.

Thanks, but I added them last night and it did not make any difference. I did not have them in my code that worked in my demo vid either. :-(

Dont think its this but you never know.maybe you deleted it accidently in the cp_config file

I thought maybe I was missing the _navBar.html line too, but no. Here is my config_cp.txt: {"propertySections":[ {"fileType":"bt_section", "fileName":"btSection_navBar.html"}, {"fileType":"bt_section", "fileName":"btSection_login.html"}, {"fileType":"bt_section", "fileName":"btSection_backgroundColor.html"}, {"fileType":"bt_section", "fileName":"btSection_backgroundImage.html"}, {"fileType":"bt_section", "fileName":"btSection_search.html"}, {"fileType":"bt_section", "fileName":"btSection_tabBar.html"}, {"fileType":"bt_section", "fileName":"btSection_screenJson.html"} ] }

When you create a new screen in the Control Panel, the screen "nickname" is populated into the plugin's Top Navigation Bar "Bar Title" field. BT will no longer do that with my plugin. The field is blank so I get bad JSON. I can fill in the "Bar Title" manually and then JSON is perfect. I just can't figure out why the CP will not auto-populate this field in my plugin.

@Red Dog, Would it be that you don't have the opening bracket { in your config.txt? It reads: //default json data defaultJSONData: "itemType":"RD_simpleDraw", "itemNickname":"HOME", "navBarTitleText":"HOME", "backgroundImageNameLargeDevice":"horse.jpg", "backgroundImageScale":"fullScreen"} Instead of: //default json data defaultJSONData: {"itemType":"RD_simpleDraw", "itemNickname":"HOME", "navBarTitleText":"HOME", "backgroundImageNameLargeDevice":"horse.jpg", "backgroundImageScale":"fullScreen"}

I just tested it out! The problem was in the config.txt file (as posted above). Just make sure to have valid JSON in your defaultJSONData. This code works fine! {"itemType":"RD_simpleDraw", "itemNickname":"", "navBarTitleText":"", "backgroundImageNameLargeDevice":"", "backgroundImageScale":"fullScreen"} Just note that opening bracket at the begging of the JSON ;) Self Hosted users may need to re-install the plugin - I just don't know! Cheers, -Cake P.S. FYI: You probably don't want to pre-fill the JSON values. If you DO pre-fill them, the server won't overwrite them when creating your screen. So instead of this: "navBarTitleText":"HOME" Use This: "navBarTitleText":""

Yeaaaaa cakebit! I had prefilled values in my installation lol.. Random and the start bracket was missing. Thanks

cool nice one cakebit!

@mysps, I forgot to say: The only time you really need to pre-fill the values is if you want a default value. For example, I might want: "titleTextSize":"20" to be the default value, but if I don't I'll just use "titleTextSize":"". *The user can always overwrite the default value.

Cool! I rarely use the control panel but when testing a new plugin I do. I saw the horse.png image and laughed hehe

CakeBit ROCKS! Where are you? I owe you a beer (or something).

.... one curly brace can mess up your entire day!

Hey Red Dog! I see you are in the So-Cal area! I used to live there! I'm now up in Northern California... if you ever get up here, we'll have to meet up! Cheers! -Cake

What a great forum post. This makes my day. Great sleuthing, CakeBit!
