Screen Data URL

Hi there, Can anyone explain to me what does the screen data url is used for? I thought I need to point it to a url on my site. But nothing happens. Thanks

It allows you to create dynamic screens. Go to Buzztouch 1.5 documentation in the how-to section for a detail explanation. Fred

Hi @Infinity, Each of your screens are described by JSON data. A discussion of that can be found here: http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=8D6AA5CF54BD6CC267120B7 The dataURL for a particular screen allows you to create a file with JSON data that describes how to create that screen, and post it off-app somewhere. That could be useful in, say, a multiple location map, where you add new locations from time to time, but don't want to use the control panel to do it. Or, a Menu List linked to websites, and you want to expand it every so often. It basically removes the ability to manipulate the screen properties from the control panel, and puts it through the use of JSON at the URL you provided. Does that make sense? In an app, you'll either use the control panel to manipulate your screen, or a data URL. One or the other, but not both. If you use the control panel, you can delete the URL that shows up in that field. Mark

Just use the Custom URL screen, and enter in your website address. That's all there is too it!
