Buzz Carousel troubleshooting

Have been inundated with queries about the plugin. My app is crashing when it is launched? The plugin will crash if you haven't added any any screens to the menu. Add at least one screen and the screen won't crash. The carousel is invisible the button taps work, but I can not see the image? Remember you need to add the images to your project. Also don't forget to actually type your image name in the control panel. (sounds obvious but 4 people including a Buzztouch admin missed this) The carousel isn't showing on the screen? The offset options are there to add a 3d effect, it asks for its y axis to show where it is on the screen. The handsets/tablets we use aren't 3000 pixels high, reset all values to 0 and test again. Hope this helps some people out, also the iPad update should be available soon. A more substantial update will follow with even more customisable options The DIY code change for the iPad in this thread http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=3D185E114B60BFA398AF379&command=isSearching&currentPage=1&topicTitle=carousel&createdBy=&repliedBy=&minViews=-1&maxViews=-1&minReplies=-1&maxReplies=-1&forumCategory=

If it weren't for the obvious, I'd have nothing to miss ;) Thanks for the T/S notes, Kittsy! :) Cheers! -- Smug

I created 4 buttons is PS added to plugin and ran the plugin in xcode simulator. It worked fine. Soooo much better than anything I could have created. Looking forward to update(s). Currently building the assets that I plan to use with Kittsy's plugin. In an app I am working on. Mike

Andy, Here are a few innovative menu interfaces written by a Developer in China named Kjuly. He includes Videos and Demo projects along with the GitHub source code. If interested in his other UI innovations, watch the Video demonstrating his Pokemon iPhone app. Notice how he has changed the "go back to previous screen" navigation and what he did to the Section Headers for Table Views. 1. Circle Menu - the menu items appear radially out from the circle, arranged in a circular fashion https://github.com/Kjuly/KYCircleMenu 2. ArcTab - a TabViewController that has the Tab Items arranged on an arc, rather than in a row https://github.com/Kjuly/KYArcTab 3. iPokeMon https://github.com/Kjuly/iPokeMon

@ niraj I've seen these before on github, not the easiest thing to put into buzztouch especially the tabview controller, as buzztouch has it's own, these sort of packages are best built without buzztouch. I just did a search on my computer for xcodeproj to see how many github and sample frameworks I've downloaded since August. 769. I think I need to tidy up

Wow Andy! You have been exposed to lots of code via Github! Integration of a component into a framework such as BuzzTouch is indeed a challenge. Perhaps, with your diverse experience can you suggest to David Book on the necessary adjustments such that integration of a component into BuzzTouch can be an easier task? Thanks for the feedback and the plugin fever you have generated! -- Niraj

Carousel works fine in the simulator but when I build and test on iPhone the carousel is missing some images. Only when I use the refresh button on the phone do the images appear. Images are all added to Xcode. It all functions correctly otherwise. Any help appreciated.

Hi tower one, thanks for buying the plugin, in future if I were you I would post a new comment, I normally unsubscribe from forum posts when the answer has been successfully, so others may not respond to this. If it works on refresh it sounds like your initial json didn't have the images recorded correctly and when you refresh it get's the image names properly. from your control panel, copy the config data and paste it in and replace the configdata.txt in your app. then clean it and run again

Not sure what happened there ... I seem to have developed an echo! Thanks for the speedy response and your point well made. Will give it a go. Cheers.
