Buzz Carousel Questions- bugs?

Running on BT v3 BT-Hosted Just implementing Carousel for the first time. Added 8 items with screens to check out all of the great options for display.) Control Panel BT-Hosted: a)JSON data not shown/editable :( b)Unable to edit what screen a tap on Carousel Item loads. (It is not shown in the Carousel Item Properties after it has been saved.) Current workaround is to delete the item and recreate. no biggie. Question EDITED Where is the image title displayed? This was just a setting in code depending on the layout- works fine.

Hey NCBuzz, It works fine for me. The image title is displayed just below the carousel. If you look at the .XIB file, you will see the label that it uses. I don't have any control panel issues with it either... sounds like something is off on yours... are you using the latest 3.0 core? Maybe try uninstalling the plugin and reinstalling it. I can verify that it all works as it should with iOS7, Core 3.0, and my host is hostgator

There is a show/hide label option in BT hosted control panel. Even so, in some orientations and settings, the labels may be hidden. The carousel is a fantastic menu. I can highly recommend it!

Ninja - The control panel issue is just with "BT-Hosted". (happens with several other plugins) On the text- Thanks for the headsup on the XIB. Will make adjustments there. Levens- I have the Show label setting on. Did some more testing, and on Portrait the test appears. I am sure this is something I introduced when I asked Kittsy for some code for Landscape only appDelegate. - Turns out with hint on the XIB, sure I can address it there. You bet that it is a awesome plugin- I am in the process of integrating into two apps that I am plugging away on. Thanks guys!

NCBuzz: You can drag the label on the XIB to make it higher or lower, so that it's visable in all orientation views. I actually moved mine so it's above the carousel instead of below it, and now it shows on all orientations and devices.

Thanks- was just just trying different locations in Xcode-XIB based on your tip before. Agree that when I get rid of the Nav Bar, Top will be the best place.

Interesting... Good tip on the text moving. I used carousels in my 'SwimSafe' app. Take a look...

No rush- can wait for the plugin update. The only real important item that I mentioned is the ability to edit the JSON in the BT-hosted Control Panel. As soon as that is available- it will be way easier to implement several layers of menus in another app rather than building by hand ;) Right now doing some initial design in one app, but can't wait to implement it in my main project. Thanks!

Any update on the fix for being able to edit Carousel Item in Control Panel? (Specifically being able to change the screen the item loads.) - Once we are able to see and edit the JSON that would fix it.
