Hi All, How would I allow the user of my app to configure the tab bar? Thanks, Jake

You could give the user a self-hosted login.

But from their device, is there a button in which they could click and re-arrange the Tab Bar? like this one: http://www.tweetings.net/iphone/howto/configure.jpg

I hate saying things like 'of course that can be done'... ...when although I 'know' it can, I have no earthly clue how to go about doing it. So, I hate myself, but yes, that can be done. Just don't ask 'me' how to do it. :) Cheers! -- Smug

Interesting concept. I believe you could do that with the right type of plugin (at least for iOS - haven't gotten that far on Android yet). The only problem would be keeping the preferences saved for future use. You would need your home screen set to a plugin that could read a data file containing the last saved user preferences and then update the tab bar again. Since you probably don't want your home screen set to a user preferences plugin, you would really need two custom plugins to make this work. Unless I'm missing something...

In his Remember Together scrapbook app, David Book had shown in a Webinar that he had coded a drag-drop of icons from a "tray" onto a "canvas". You are asking for similar functionality. Ask your question for the upcoming Q&A Webinar. -- Niraj

I have been working on this plugin for two months now, the source code is all written and works with buzztouch code. I'm just having a hard time connecting it to the control panel. If I can get this done successfully or have a developer help me connect it to the control panel, I'll be submitting to the plugin market soon

@WaYsTiiD TIME -- The Control Panel might be easier than you think. On Tuesday, there will be a webinar for Members on the topic of how-to-do a Control Panel. It is a good time for you to become a Member! :-) Also, I have been making a modification of the Menu With Image plugin. It's Control Panel already has the code you may be needing. It's the Child Properties stuff that I'm referencing. Let me take a look at your code to get a handle on your vision. Send me a Private Message if you are interested in working together. -- Niraj

I'm happy to connect a plugin to the control panel. I just finished doing that for someone else today in fact. I've gotten pretty good at working with various properties, child items, etc. PM me if interested.
