Blog Pro files

Hi, I've downloaded the bta_screen_blogpro.zip from BuzzTouch. In the included BlogProPlugin_Manual.pdf is written: "After installation of the plugin re-download the source code for your app from the BT-Cpanel and open it in Xcode. After installation make sure you copy the files from the folder bt_v15/bt_includes/(included in this package: inc_themeBlogProHeaderHTML.php, inc_themeBlogProHTML.php, inc_themeBlogProIcons.php, inc_themeBlogProTemplate.php) to your own bt_includes directory. This/your directory can be found on : www.yourdomainname.com/your_bt_Server_installation_directory/bt_v15/bt_includes/" I didn't find those files. In the BlogProPlugin_Manual.pdf is also written: "Inside this package is also a folder called BTA_Files. If you haven't installed any other templates from BT-addons then you can drag this whole folder into your Xcode project in the BT_Images folder." I didn't find this folder. Where am I wrong? Regards

Hey Otatech, I got that same error....I think PMDanny is on vacation but David fixed it for him. Just re-download and should be fine. Working now.... Meanwhile, I found that if you contact him through the support plugin website: http://bt-addons.com/ he get's back to you pretty fast. Even on vacation. I believe that buzztouch hosts the plugins ...tech support is directed to the person who created the plug in. We are just fortunate enough that David is helping out to get everything going. Hope it helps Reference: http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=22A45012B06FBB2533616C6 Sheri

Thanx Sheri, I've tried to redownload, but it doesn't work. I've written to PMDanny and now I'm waiting for his reply. Ciao :-)

Hi otatech, @sheri: thanks for jumping in The files you mentioned were files that were needed in the initial release. In the final release you don't need those files anymore. Just install the zipfile as you would do on any plugin and you're fine to go. No extra steps are needed. When I get back home I'll correct this immediately. Sorry for the inconvenience. The plugin should work right out of the box. You can use the manual for further instructions on how to use this plugin. Also have a look at www.bt-addons.com in the video section for more help on compiling in xcode Hope that this answers your question. Feel free to ask if more is needed. Best regards Danny

Hi PSMDanny, Thanx for the prompt reply. I've also problem with the BTA_files folder. I think it's better that I wait for the "new" manual. Have a nice holiday :-)

Hi Otatech, Thanks for your patience. You don't have to wait for the right manual. Just install the plugin as you would do with every other plugin. Once installed create a new screen and select the blog pro. Call it for example: myfirstblog. After that click on myfirstblog on the list of screens you've created. Now you're inside the the blog plugin. First start with filling in the advanced properties like templatename etc... After that create your first blog item bfor example call it: myfirstblogitem and click 'add'. When you are done you see 'myfirstblogitem' on the same page. Now click on 'myfirstblogitem' to set all the details for that item. That's it. The workflow of the plugin is the same as the menulist plugin Forget the part in the manual about draging files and folders. The rest should be ok. Feel free to ask if you have more questions. Thanks for the vacation wishes Best Regards, Danny

Hi otatech, Question: are you self hosted or on buzztouch website? If you are self hosted, do you have a hosting package at buzztouchmods (btm)? The warnings are strange that you get them but it's just a warning and you can ignore it for now. If you followed my tutorial about the javascript files then that should also be ok. Before you created the myfirstblog, did you fill-in the advanced properties like templatename, icon wifth, height, title width etc etc? If you didn't do this then it won't work. It needs to know these settings Best regards, Danny

Hi otatech, On friday I'll be back home. I suggest that we have some kind of chat session (msn) to help you out. In the meantime please try to use the controlpanel to setup everything. Made me think: this json structure, do you manualy place this in the bt config.txt in xcode? If so make sure you do a clean before you compile!!!! Please let me know when you are available on friday. Lots of users are using this plugin right now without problems so I guess there must be something you are doing not completely right. In the end we'll get you up and running Would be nice if you could describe the whole process ( from start till end) on how you use this plugin. Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Danny
