Hi all, At the risk of breaking my BT_config.txt file, I want to use it as a reference point so that a method file can run a conditional "if the value of myNewParameter in the config file is xxxx, then do something". Effectively what I'm doing is inserting a new parameter into the JSON for that plugin... is this doable? For example, config.txt currently says this: "itemId":"267BA7691F6697952A9267D", "itemType":"WB_screen_menuImage", "itemNickname":"listView", "navBarTitleText":"Explore", etc. and I want to add another parameter in there, like so: "itemId":"267BA7691F6697952A9267D", "itemType":"WB_screen_menuImage", "itemNickname":"listView", "navBarTitleText":"Explore", "myNewParameter":"xxxx", etc. Is there some other referencing code that's automatically written deep in the BT backend when I publish it which means I can't jump in and add new stuff like that? Will I kill it? Nervously, Paddy.

If it's for a 'particular' plugin, you can massage the control panel (in self hosted only) html documents to add another parameter if you want... When you do (and if it's done right), it will automatically be included in the json for that screen with no objections from anyone... the thing is, 'no one will know it is there' so be sure to 'connect' the value when it gets to the plugin... I wrote a document that, while not explicitly written for your situation, should give you some needed hints on what goes where... https://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/CP2Project.pdf Once you're in your plugin, you just use the 'objectForKey' parameter of your screen jsonVars property and take it from there...

Smug that's as handy as a small saucepan - thank you!! Lots of great insights there. When do you get time to do other stuff, you know, like sleep, eat....? Cheers Paddy.
