Update approved with carousel plugin

For all the gamers out there - I just updated one of my older apps, "Quiz - Skyrim Edition". It was previously a BT 1.5 app with a simple list menu - now it's a BT 2.0 app using the brand spanking new Buzztouch Carousel menu. Thanks again Kittsy! If anybody wants to see the plugin in action you can download the free app here - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/quiz-skyrim-edition/id512645962?mt=8&uo=4

Hi Asentia Really like your quiz app, how much of the app is created through the quiz plugin and how much is third party plugins. I've struggled to get the Socialize chat going, can't get pass the Facebook and Twitter integration and also is the share score on Facebook part of the quiz plugin? Could you help me, I would like to send you a private message if ok?

The carousel plugin looks great. Thanks for the post so we can see it in action! I also have a couple of questions about this app. It is very well done and looks professional. I think a lot of us here on Buzztouch can benefit from seeing such a professional looking BT app in action and learning a little bit about how you accomplished that. How did you setup the share screen Facebook and Twitter integration? Are you using Scringo or something similar? I assume the chat feature is Scringo. Was Appoxee easy to setup? I currently have an app use Parse for push notification, but I like that Appoxee seems to keep the notifications in an inbox. That is cool. Last question I promise :~). What screen "plugin" did you use for the videos screen? Thanks again and thanks for all you do on the forum quite a few of your posts have help me out.

@Moto110 Hey, happy to help out! That whole bar on the bottom of the main menu and video page is called a "Socialize Action Bar" - it was implemented using the Socialize SDK which you can get here - http://www.getsocialize.com . I guess you could say it is pretty similar to Scringo - I've tried Scringo out and it wasn't really working for me. I'm sure Scringo's awesome but Socialize seems to be a better fit for my apps. I recently made a post about how I use Socialize to share quiz scores - http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=7EF665064CA9B25E3D050E8&command=isSearching&currentPage=1&topicTitle=socialize&createdBy=&repliedBy=&minViews=-1&maxViews=-1&minReplies=-1&maxReplies=-1&forumCategory= Appoxee can be a little tricky as far as getting the inbox to show badges properly. I did manage to figure out how to get it working though...you can see an explanation in this thread - http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=9E4996EE1E047B18E361922&command=isSearching&currentPage=1&topicTitle=appoxee&createdBy=&repliedBy=&minViews=-1&maxViews=-1&minReplies=-1&maxReplies=-1&forumCategory= As for the video screen - easy! I simply use a custom HTML screen and embed youtube videos onto it. If you go to youtube, below every video there is a "share" button - click that and you will see an "embed" button that will give you the exact HTML to copy and paste. I edit the height to be 600 and the width to be 950 - it fits perfectly on the iPhone and iPad

Great info Absentia! How did you get the Facebook and Twitter integration to work so well? Is that builtin to the Socialize SDK? Thanks again!
