I am having some trouble with keeping my json data persistent in the control panel. This is for a custom plugin. When I enter the text into the field and hit 'save' it saves the JSON data to the BT_config just fine. If I navigate away from plugins index.php, then come back to it, the fields are blank (which they should be). Then I enter a new value for only one of the fields and hit 'save', the new value gets saved to the BT_config file just fine, but all of the other fields get overwritten and erased. This makes it so that anytime I want to change one input field, I have to fill in them all with the same data again. Is there any way to make this so that the field data is persistent? Is this normal behavior for a custom plugin? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2452503/index.php

Hey! Is this for a particular plugin, or is it happening in general with all plugins. It's certainly not the way it should happen, as far as I know. Mark

I think I understand what you're saying. Try to follow along... 1) You load index.php for your custom plugin (your attached image looks like it's based on the quiz plugin)... 2) The HTML for each input element needs a "value" This is the value that displays when you load the page. Look at all the other plugins, each input field shows the value from the screens existing (saved previously) JSON variables. It does this by echo 'ing the value it find in the screen JSON like... <input type="text" name="json_navBarTitleText" id="json_navBarTitleText" value="<?php echo fnFormOutput(fnGetJsonProperyValue("navBarTitleText", $jsonVars));?>"> 3) In your custom HTML fields, use that same method to echo the value just like that. That is doing it for a property called "navBarTitleText" but your input fields / property names will be different. Hope this helps.

I see. I am missing the function call for the json getter:) Will give it a shot. Thanks.
