I know I have seen this topic, but can't find anywhere. I am using a plugin with multiple screens that have been duplicated. Would like to determine what the current screen is by either 'itemNickname' or 'itemId', and then execute different code... How would I leverage BT core to replace"theScreen" in code below: if([[theScreen itemNickname] isEqualToString:@"my_screenName"]){ Thanks!

https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=C3CD6339BF4B17B02DFEF7D&currentPage=1 check out the post above if your trying to load a certain screen. Why wouldnt it replace the screen depending on what json reads like usual?Im confused.hope that link helps though

Thanks for the info- sure I can use it. What I am looking for now is to know what the current screen is. (basing what code to run based upon which screen version of the plugin I am in)

Along with Chris' good information, you can find out what the actual nickname for the current screen by doing something like this: NSString *myScreenNickName = [[NSString alloc]initWithString:[BT_strings getJsonPropertyValue:self.screenData.jsonVars nameOfProperty:@"itemNickname" defaultValue:@""]]; Then, when you need the name, you can use your local property 'myScreenNickName' (or whatever you actually call it when you are working in your code). Sadly, objC doesn't handle the 'switch' statement for strings, so if each screen needs something different, you'll have to use 'If (something) {//} else if (something else) {//} else if (something more) {//} else {//}; If it's the same result for all screens, then it shouldn't be too hard.

Worked perfect - just what I needed. Thanks!!

Try not to over complicate, every screens information is stored in a BT_item you can access all of the screen from self.screendata itemId, itemNickname, itemType , jsonVars NSString *screenNickname = self.screendata.itemNickname if(screenNickname isEqualToString:@"my_screenName"]){...} or directly if(self.screendata.itemNickname isEqualToString:@"my_screenName"]){...}

Thanks! Will try tonight. Anything to save wear and tear on my keyboard;)
