Link to Screen in HTML

Hi All, Is there a way to link to a BT_Plugin Screen from a custom HTML page? iOS. BT2.0. Thanks, Jake

Currently the only way to do it, would be through custom code. I am working on a plugin that will allow you to add buttons to HTML pages though. May be a little bit until it is done as I wont have it submitted before the plugin deadline. Jim

Dragon007, what it will end up being is buttons on the page that you can select the link from within the CP. They will be on top of the HTML page. Hope to be able to allow the user to set location and use images for buttons. My hope is to have it ready to submit once the market opens back up.

Great idea. Buttons on HTML webview! This is still one I want to Q & A David about. I really think the custom URL scheme can make this work. I've read some stuff on using UIWEBVIEW and invoking it's delegate to make this work. Ravey's plug-in concept from Android was using the current activity whicjh I think is going to be different for iOS. Great workaround tho @crown!

@Crown Solutions I will give my left testicle for that plugin. What do you mean by on top of the HTML page though? Isn't that just the same as the top-right button on the nav bar?

What I am working on is placing an area for a button at the top of the screen, the webview is below it. the button size is determined by the image you use. (right now I have it set to center it) I am hitting it hard the next three days trying to get it to work for both iOS and Android. Ultimately I would like to be able to add a few buttons, but I need to get this to work with one first. Jim
