I am looking to add an html based window of text content, positioned not unlike a banner advert, to one of the existing menus - probably Menu Image Advanced, at the top. My app is both Ios and android. I am aiming to display some updating html text (two lines) in that window, with the menu rows below that content. There is no clicking on links needed. So I'm guessing that I need to to add a webview and I can hard-code the url for that content as it won't change. The web page is under my control, so I can style and size the content to make it fit. I am not a programmer, so I am looking to cut and paste from something that already exists, or is close, if I can. Can anyone point me in a good direction please? Thanks in advance, Alan

Do you have the ultimate screen creator plugin?

I have bought a few of your plugins Chris, but not that one I'm afraid.

Have you thought about an image instead of a webpage? Pretty close to the same appearance, already built into the Menu Image Advanced plugin. Cheers! -- Smug

Smug - that's a great idea. You could replace the image view in that plugin with a web view too, but web views tend to be more complicated than simple image views from a coding perspective.

Thanks for the ideas. I wish it could be an image, but the content is a countdown to the next event, with a description of the event, which has been done in javascript.

Do you have the Cubbyholes plugin? If yes, then the code for the webview is clear as daylight (or mud) within it's own method. -- Niraj

I borrowed some code from the internet and with some help from another post, I have it working. For those who would like to do this one day, here is what I did: I used this post to work out how to prepare the web view: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14474142/xcode-4-5-os-x-cocoa-application-basic-web-view-load-google-when-opened I used the existing variables to position the web view and push the menu rows down. I Used this post to work out how to restrict the modification to only work on just the one screen where I want it: https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?fid=6FC010911DD2224F55E5401&tid=6FC010911DD2224F55E5401 This is the code I ended up with: // mods to add a webview if([self.screenData.itemId isEqualToString:@"149993CEC831F690EFB89EE" ]) // hardwired for only the screen where used { CGFloat webviewHeight = 80; // the height of the webview // the start height of the webview is the image height - ie after the banner, if it is there self.myWebView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, imageHeight + theTop, imageWidth, webviewHeight)]; _myWebView.opaque = NO; _myWebView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]; // set the background [self.view addSubview:self.myWebView]; // to be transparent NSURL *myURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.limetimeapps.co.uk/appfiles/gpracefan/f1countdown2015.html"]; NSURLRequest *myRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:myURL]; [self.myWebView loadRequest:myRequest]; imageHeight=imageHeight+webviewHeight; // reset the start position of the tableview } // end of mods to add a webview I dropped it into the viewDidLoad method just before the point where the menu items rectangle was about to be created and it shows under the menu banner and before the 1st row. //generate the frame for tableview right below the image.

Good job!

Thanks Chris.

Sweet. It's going in the snippet library for later use! Thanks Alan! Cheers! -- Smug
