Menu with Image Plugin problem

Hi, I'm running iOS with the menu with image plugin and think I'm making a simple mistake. When I run the plugin as a Home Screen - picture comes up fine - haven't entered anything in the rows yet. As soon as I add text to a row everything goes haywire. When I open the app - the home screen is skipped entirely and it goes to the first item in the row. For example - First home screen row item is burger king which links to a map. Open the app and it goes right to the map. Plugins and images appear to be where they should be. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Mike

I love that plugin. It's my main 'go to' menu because it works so well on both platforms. Something indeed sounds a bit funky, and shouldn't behave that way... Ok, 'assuming' that you're doing things correctly, this wouldn't happen. So, something is amiss, but we're not sure what just yet. Take your 'configuration data' (or Json data, depending on your BT server version) and paste the contents into the 'jsonlint.com' website. Validate the data and make sure it's good. Sometimes punctuation will send JSON reeling... Cheers! -- Smug

This may not be your problem but check to make sure your "home" screen hasn't changed. Every once in awhile, for whatever reason, when I'm adding new menu items one will magically because my new home screen. So when I launch my app it goes directly to that screen. If this is the problem the fix is simple, just click on layout and choose the correct home screen. If this isn't your problem then I'm not sure what's going on. Good luck, Josh

Made a short video to explain what I mean. I created a Home Screen with Menu Image - with picture and blank rows. Works fine. When I add content to the row "Row 1" and open the app the home screen is skipped and goes directly to "Row 1" When I use menu simple or menu buttons all works fine. Here's the link: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28442814/Buzztouch%20menu%20w%20image.mp4 May have to widen your browser window to see the simulator Thanks again Mike

Let me ask what may eventually be known as a silly question. What 'version' of menu with image are you using? Cheers! -- Smug The reason I ask, is because I'm using v2. My self hosted panel thinks I should upgrade to v1. I took a look at the v1 that it thought I should have, and it looks a bit unfinished. I've been meaning to query Susan on it, but as of yet keep forgetting. If you're using what displays as 'version 1' then you've got the wrong plugin.

Looked it up in my control panel and it says I downloaded v2.

Just for kicks, don't use "Row 1" / "Row 1" combo pair. Make each be different. But first, try mutzy's suggestion . Let us know how you get along. -- Niraj

@Buzzlightbeer -- For curiosity, I clicked on "Red Deer" to see where you are in the world. Are you seriously in Russia? -- Niraj

Ah, I see the problem. Update your location within your BuzzTouch profile by using these numbers: 52.271887, -113.80977 The negative sign is important! Consider yourself to be found! hahahaha :-)

You seem to be switching to a menu simple plugin. Double check your layout settings to make sure your home screen really is set to the menu with image screen. If that doesn't work, look at your JSON data. I'm wondering if you don't have the same nickname or I'd set for two screens somehow. Shouldn't happen but who knows?
