Anyone know how to prepare the JSON so you can choose a different "transitionType" when they procure for you open a row. This is my JSON, can I do this? it is not working... { "childItems": [ { "itemId": "1", "itemType": "Sw_loc_detail", "itemNickname1": "rest_quintadamagarenha", "iconName": "rest_quintadamagarenha_540x138.png", "titleText": "quinta da magarenha", "descriptionText": " ", "latitude": "40.639165", "longitude": "-7.851045", "categoryText": " ", "subcategoryText": " ", "loadScreenWithItemId": "15221A8CB301BBAC0BE6326", "transitionType": "fade" }

Let me take a look. The json 'should' work; I see no obvious problems with your json. Cheers! -- Smug

Hmm... If you could do me a favor, around line 318 of your 'SW_locationmenu.m' file, look for this statment: [self handleTapToLoadScreen:screenObjectToLoad theMenuItemData:thisLocationItem]; and *just above it*, paste these statements: // NSError *error; NSData *jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:thisLocationItem options:NSJSONWritingPrettyPrinted error:&error]; NSString *quikCheck = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsonData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; [BT_debugger showIt:self theMessage:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"thisLocationItem: JsonValue: %@", quikCheck]]; // and visually check (in your debug output log) to make sure that your transition json is being carried through. It should be. But the problem would then be that, the location menu is passing your transition type, and 'handleTapToLoadScreen' may not be responding appropriately. That's out of my hands. But so far, I can't see where that would be a problem in my plugin. Sorry. :( Cheers! -- Smug Edit: Corrected with Niraj's eagle eye.

Correction on the very last word: NSError *error; NSData *jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:thisLocationItem options:NSJSONWritingPrettyPrinted error:&error]; NSString *quikCheck = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsonData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; [BT_debugger showIt:self theMessage:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"thisLocationItem: JsonValue: %@", quikCheck]];

Sorry but not yet had time to try it. when I do I tell the result. thank you for responding so quickly. Much work this week... You know...

I paste the statements. But its giving an error. Can i change the overall transitionType in the code, I just dont like the one that is assumed. This is my debug output log, it is geting the JSON but not the "transitionType" in the JSON.

No, you're not doing anything wrong. For some reason that code won't work in that method 'as it is'. I'll look into it in a bit. What we're trying to see here, is that the transitionType json info is getting to the 'handleTapToLoadScreen' method... Nothing in my plugin (or any plugin) really deals with transitions. All most menu 'style' plugins are doing is passing on json information to the system once a 'selection' has been made. Once the Json 'leaves' the plugin, there isn't much that can be done 'from the plugin'. But it doesn't mean I'm not going to help; I'll try my best to duplicate your issue and see if there is anything I can assist with. Would you be willing to provide me a copy of your childItem file? Or a database URL that I can obtain the information from? You may want to email me directly (smugwimp at smugwimp dot com) or private message me via BT message, so that no personal or proprietary information is released publicly. Cheers! -- Smug
