How can I put google map, call button and email button on one screen?

Since there are a limited amount of tabs available I would like to have a "Contact Us" tab that will include a "Call Us", "Email" and "Website" button as well as a map. I've created what I want in Dreamweaver using html and jQuery but not sure how best to save necessary files and where in xCode and Eclipse. Or can anyone tell me how I could do this within BT and not use jQuery? (I've attached a screen shot so you have a visual of where I'm going with it) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59740936/ContactUsScreenShot.tiff Thanks!

You should be able to create an HTML Screen and just include that HTML file, along with the jQUery stuff, in your project. It would all go into BT_Docs. Just ensure that Xcode is set to not try and compile the .js files. Mark

With the imminent release of chris1's plugin you'll be able to link those three html buttons to bt screens. Call us, email and webview are all native screens/functions, which is good for apple submission.

@Sheri & @GoNorthWest, Thank you! I've been searching the internet all morning trying to figure this out and was feeling defeated. I did find a blog that said put the jQuery files in a "resource folder" with in the xcode project but I dont have a resource folder! Totally confusing! I'll give Mark's idea a try :) I need this to work on ios and android. @raveyd, will chris1's plugin work for both platforms? Everyone at BT rocks! Thanks

Hello, I am local to you in Cerritos. If you want, give me a shout and we can meet at a local joint. Your screen mockup is a good idea for a plugin! Let me think on how best to implement it. For now, HTML is the best approach -- especially since you will be targeting both Android and iOS. -- Niraj

Took a second look at the screen mockup, why are the segmented buttons even needed? A tap on each of the actual elements should take the appropriate action. To ensure it, use the HTML5 syntax of tel:// for the Phone Number and mailto:// for the email address. Perhaps a light-gray underline on those elements can convey that they are actionable links. You won't need jQuery at all for this purpose. In fact, you can use the Custom HTML plugin and simply paste-in the HTML code by using the source view. Let me know if you need a better explanation. -- Niraj

couldnt you just use one of the menu screens? Contact Us tab links to menu (menu with image? BTA Design Menu?), which has email, telephone, find us online and Location menu items, which go to the relevent BT PlugIn. Although i like your mock up, its very clean

@Niraj Shah, I planned to use the tel:// but didn't know the mailto:// would work on mobile so I was going to link it to the email plugin screen. I would love to meet up with you! This is my first app and I already have a client for it so I need to get it live ASAP. I'll pm you :) Thanks Theresa

@GoNorthWest, You mentioned to "ensure that Xcode is set to not try and compile the .js files" how do I do this? Theresa

@GoNorthWest, I just found the answer to my last question about .js files. @Mackimak had posted this... The solution I find is on this site: http://www.nimblekit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2805&p=13746&hilit=Copy+Bundle+Resources#p13746 Thanks! Theresa
