New Plugin - JSON Snippet Keeper

My new plugin is now available in the plugin market: http://www.buzztouch.com/plugins/plugin.php?pid=57852D3DE0C71B9F1ABF624 This plugin serves many purposes (in fact, infinite - but I can't count that high) 1. Works like the old "Load Custom Plugin" - where it can load a custom class file for use in your project. Granted, this idea has been surpassed by the new plugin functionality of v2.0, but sometimes you just want to load a class for testing or for your project that you don't need to install as a full plugin in your control panel. 2. Allows you to "side load" or inject valid JSON directly into your project's BT_Config.txt. This is an excellent way to add a lot of manually created screens to your project without entering them all in manually through the control panel. 3. Allows you to save JSON snippets in your control panel for use later. With this feature, you can create either fully customized pages, or several (hundreds) pages, and add them all to a second project in one click. For more information and examples (and to hear a madman ramble for almost an hour about JSON and how it can greatly increase your development speed) listen to episode 11 of the Buzzcast Podcast: http://idevdepot.com/episode11/ Also, you can expect some in-depth training seminars for this tool in the very near future. Thanks to David and team for making my crazy dreams into a reality!

Simply Awesome. Nice work. Market account debited :) Love the name too, kinda like the old "Trapper Keeper" This is the payoff to BC 11 that I'm still finishing up? I can use your old trusty List Menu tool to crank out the JSON and then feed/save it into my projects with this? That is making developing easier. I just figured out how to 'borrow' JSON from another project and move it to another to build screens to save time. Sorta worked but some stuff to clean up. So this fills that gap and makes that a legal/easier move now. Can't wait to play with it after a busy weekend. for sure interested in some vids/training to see how YOU use it. Still need to comment on BC 10 and finish up BC11. I love the freestyle rap JSON ramblings. It's a lot but you keep focus very well and were building up to something good. Thanks, this looks like the kind of stuff to extend BT we need.

Such a good idea. Was thinking how wonderful it would be to side load BT_config.txt. And here it is.

@Paddy, Yes, it sure would. It take some practice and planning, of course. In my first G+ Hangout last night, I demonstrated how you could do that. Thanks @MrDavid and @nadthevlad!
