Copying BT App over to a new app.

Wondering if maybe this is possible, and if not, could it be made? I have an app that I made for a business, and I'd like to make another one for another business. It's pretty much the same application, just need to change the images, and some data in the screens. Would it be possible to copy over all the data of an existing app to a new app within buzztouch?

It isnt possible to duplicate apps at the moment, no. Feel free to put something together! There are a few previous threads on this with some workarounds, have a wee search and you'll find some good comments and suggestions. Good luck with new client as well.

Thanks :). Yah, I found some comments on this, but they require taking the app offline. I'd like to be able to edit it online live in case the client wants something changed quickly. I hope BT decides to being back the feature soon.

No solution just some thoughts. For BTv2.0: Export app, rename and (import?) or manually add to Control Panel. For BTv1.5 or BTv2.0 Assuming same app is used for both businesses.: Download source code copy and paste as necessary. (Business1, Business2, Business3, . . .) For different menus Edit pictures and text in config file. Export separate apps from Xcode or Eclipse. You can change the Structure of the app from the Control Panel, but you change the flavor (business1, business2, business3, . . .) from the config file. In res folder use the same image file name but different images. For text contained in config file edit accordingly. Different data url and such. Create additional (individual business1) screens via JSON) Haven't tried this but don't see why it shouldn't work. Perhaps this process could also be used to solve the one BT app multiple os apps (iOS, Android, PlayBook, Nook, Kindle, HTML5, Windows Phone 7) problem. Fred
