Monte Code is Art Posts: 5 Reg: Jan 16, 2012 La Jolla 50	confirm \| cancel 03/26/12 11:20 AM (13 years ago) Custom URL - Expose Address Bar Is there an easy way to give users access to the URL/address within a Custom URL Screen? Use case: I would like the user to be able to navigate to a specific video on youtube.com and then copy the respective URL. Could obviously do this by launching the browser, but I'm trying to stay within the app for simplicity. Thanks Title Comments Is there an easy way to give users access to the URL/address within a Custom URL Screen?

Seeing the ocean in your profile pic makes me want to hop in the car and head west! I know YouTube has the feature on the video page itself where you can copy a link for that video. If you use the YouTube video screen in buzztouch, would it still present that info? I have not tried it...just thinking off the top of my head. Mark Comments Hey @Monte, La Jolla...love that place!

I spend a fair amount of time in Tempe and make the trip frequently, beautiful drive. I've tried the YouTube screen and a few other BT built-in options trying to get this thing nailed but no luck so far. And unfortunately the mobile version of youtube.com doesn't expose the url, it just gives you different direct sharing options (email, twitter, etc.). I'm guessing this will require a custom plug-in, but wanted to see if anyone had tackled before and came up with a different solution. Thanks for help!

Living in Tucson, it's an easy trip and we frequented there as kids, and now that I have kids myself! We totally love La Jolla! Interested to see what you come up with for this problem. Not sure anybody else has tackled it yet. Mark Comments Hi Monte, I've spend quite a bit of time in La Jolla, San Diego, and the surrounding beaches!

I just took a quick run through BT_screen_customWebView.m/h and didn't see a simple way to expose the URL, so not sure how I'm going to tackle this just yet...but will let you know.
