Accessing info from a database / actions

Pretty impressed with Buzztouch so far - I'm on day 2.... Quick question, In short, is there a way to access a variety of actions to apply to buttons in buzztouch(without grabbing sample code externally, eg geo tagging / simple calculations / access sql data)to pull data and info down to an app created in Buzztouch. Or do I need to create the basics in Buzztouch and finalise the actions in Xcode?

Having a little trouble understanding the question. I think you're asking about backend data. If you're using v1.5 in buzztouch you can use dataURL properties to post data to your backend and to pull data from your backend. Appling actions to buttons is normally done through the control panel to load new screens. If you want to create new actions for buttons then yes, you'll end up doign it in Xcode after downloading your project.

Thanks David Appreciate the time. Yes I basically want to pull data from a back end database and display it within the app. Does this require additional coding in Xcode or can I add all of the necessary coding in buzztouch? For example, if I wanted to access a database of houses for sale (price, images, location, description, distance from where I am), presuming the database and content management system is set up externally. Can I do all of the necessary coding in Buzztouch to create an app to access this information or can I only get part way and have to finalise in Xcode?
