I wish I could generate the menu items dynamically with php (for example), this is really possible? Sorry for my "english" my native lenguage is spanish. Thanks..

You could pull the menu items from your server that dynamically create the file and generates a JSON file which will be used by your app. Comments I use dropbox for my menu items because I don't want to manually enter each row in the BT control panel.

I'm working on that right now, in fact. Just make sure your SQL Database output is JSON encoded. I put a sample PHP Script in my dropbox. It's basic, but you can alter it for your needs. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/115208762/CheesySQL.txt Cheers! -- Smug Comments Yes you can. Many people use PHP and MySQL to power their applications.
