jgeiser Lost but trying Posts: 4 Reg: Oct 30, 2011 Dallas 40	confirm \| cancel 10/31/11 08:57 AM (14 years ago) Ability for user to select city We are working on an app that displays updates/deals/coupons from locally owned businesses in about 30 cities (the updates, events and coupons are all contained in RSS feeds). Our site is www.foundtown.com Rather than build an app for each city, I was hoping to allow the user to select their city when the app launches and use that city as the default. The URLs are consistent and only change the city-st field. So, was hoping I could insert the user selection into the URL via a variable.. Is it possible to have the user select from a list and use that selection to drive what RSS feeds are shown? Would also be nice if the user could go in and select a different city and change the default later as well. Thanks in advance for any help/advice..

You'll need to do some custom coding to pull it off though. Start by trying to create you own custom screen based off an already existing screen. Use that one as the apps home and where the user will select which city they're in. Post back with how this goes for you. Comments Hi jgeiser, I believe what you are asking for is totally doable.
