In reading this older post, thank you @ATRAIN53, there was a wealth of information in there to comprehend. Do we change the "myCoolProperty" to the name of that property of current plugin? What would be an example of a value entered in the "Custom Property" field in the self-hosted control panel? One last question, this is the way I saw some of you create different fields to the control panel options, either self or BT control panel? https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=61A19811BADC9373C0AC264&command=isSearching&currentPage=1&topicTitle=json&createdBy=&repliedBy=&minViews=-1&maxViews=-1&minReplies=-1&maxReplies=-1&forumCategory= LA

The custom property in David's example is the name of the box on the plugin screen in the control panel. Eg screen nickname, top navigation bar myCoolProperty is the json that is what is saved in the control panel. It is the used in the plugin like this myValue = [BT_strings getJsonPropertyValue:self.screenData.jsonVars:@"myCoolProperty":@""]; Does that make a bit more sense

@Kittsy, Yes it does but what would you use it for a plugin that your creating? LA

It's used to control what your plugin does. Change colors of buttons. Change title text. You would make several different things. What is your plugin, what can be changed dynamically

ok, so you edit it to fit your plugin needs? LA

Yes he index.php is basically what controls all of the variables in the code you want the end user (app developer) to be able to change

Ok thank you. LA
