Header Images in Menu List

Hi, i published an app to the itunes appstore that i created with the help of buzztouch... I am really thankfull for that... but i really miss the header image in the Menu List (without having to selfhost or use plugins) I think it was an important feature and in my opinion it is never good to remove a feature that was already there ... :(

this "unique" effect is made with the header image and menu list... It allows to make a "magazine" cover like the wired magazine app... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=xynAwRQN1DM thats why i miss the header :( cheers

Hi @vallopes, Both v1.4 and v1.5 support a header image for the Menu List. It's true that v2.0 does not, but there is a plugin available from buzztouchmods.com that supports it. So, you should be covered in all cases! Are you using v1.5 at all? Mark

Nope, you don't need buzztouch hosted on your own server. I see by your join date that you have been grandfathered into the Developer plan. This means you have access to v1.4, v1.5 and v2.0 versions of buzztouch. You are limited to the plugins that are available (meaning you can't add new ones), but for v1.5, the header image on a menu list is supported. So, just select the v1.5 version when creating a new app! Mark

I'm not familiar with the details of the header plugin, but you can add plugin directly to the source code. Go to www.myskylla.com > Buzztouch Screens Fred

The Menu buttons screen doesn't support headers images. You can fake a heart with a background image. You can perhaps do a bit of coding in the Nav Bar. Are you iOS or Android? Fred

I'm on iOS, i thought it would be a simple - add another view in Xcode and fetch the header image that way, so its kind of, a modified plugin... menu_buttons_withHeader..... but instead of adding the image in the buzz touch control panel - screens, you just add the code in the configuration xml??? does that make sense? lol i got the idea in my head, just don't know the right way of explaining it lol thanks for your help Fred!

Modify the xml as long as you want the same image for every menu. 2nd XML for different menus. Plugin is a good solution. Fred
