More than 30 pages

Hi, I'm new to Buzztouch today. So please forgive me for my ignorance. Im working on a very content filled app. My main issue is alot of pages. Ive reached 30 and would like more. To achieve this will i have to 'subscribe' or could I theoretically download the source code to xcode and then continue with editing my app but via code? Would i be able to copy and paste pre-prepared pages for editing and reuse? Or is xcode limited then just to compiling and publishing? If its any help im working on a completely offline app. Jordan

G'day Jordan, Great to see another Aussie here. Nope, it would be VERY difficult to code extra pages in xCode, because most of the code is just templates and the app calls the BT servers to find screen content. You have a few options - you could A) subscribe, at a cost, and continue developing. Alternatively, shoot me a PM - I have a self hosted server that you could use (happy to assist a fellow Aussie). Thanks, // J

Hi @Jordan, Welcome to buzztouch! You could actually add the extra pages very easily by hosting your BT_Config.txt file somewhere like DropBox, and then adding the extra content that way. It requires you understand JSON to make it happen, which may be beyond your ability or desires at the moment. But, it's the JSON information that feeds the creation of the screens your users see. All that info is currently stored on the buzztouch.com servers, as well as the BT_Config.txt file found in your download package. If @javooooo is willing to hook you up, that would certainly be an option worth checking out. But know you'll have to recreate your app there if you want to continue extending it using the control panel. Mark

Dammit- knew I'd forgotten something! Still, if you're having lots of HTML screens and stuff like that, adding screens in JSON would just be a pain. Definitely willing to help, so chuck a PM my way.

GoNorthWest, Might i ask how i would host the BT_config.txt in drop box? Would i have to download the source code, copy the file, put it on drop box and then alter the Location in the core properties? Or am i just thinking to big for my boots? Thanks, Jordan
