Is there a plugin that will display and open a url when the user hits "OK" at the beginning of the app or a way to do similar functionality?

Have a popup box appear, and upon the tap on OK send to a new URL in safari? Try this: - (void)someMethod { UIAlertView alrt = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Open Webpage" message:@"" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:@"Open", nil]; [alrt show]; } - (void)alertView: (UIAlertView )alertView clickedButtonAtIndex: (NSInteger)buttonIndex { [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.myPage.com"]]; } place that in the file your using as your home screen.

Nothing like that available... just yet. Building a plugin for it would be fun, but I have no time to be honest :( Maybe someone else can help? I know for certain, if your homepage is HTML, you can easily have a popup and edit that popup as needed.

However just doing it through a JavaScript alert is genius and can be changed. Thanks for the help!

Do you have any good tutorials for plugin creation other than this doc? http://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/bt-plugins-selfhosted.pdf Any recommends or tips? Thanks!
