(iOS 1.5) Hi guys, I created a profile on one of my Apps for a music artist, it was simple HTML and looked great in a custom HTML page. My client wants to know wether he can add HTML profiles to the App too? (When I say HTML profiles, I mean add to the menu-list a HTML page.) For Example... Menu Item 1 Menu Item 2 Menu Item 3 Menu Item 4 ___________ Could he add to the menu with Menu Item 5? Then have a custom HTML page displayed? I understand this is extremely unlikely as the App is powered and stored on Buzztouch, but seeing the amount of progress via Buzztouch recently Im starting to believe anythings possible! Could someone please educate me in this area, if its not possible or overly complicated I'll give it a miss :) lol. Thanks.

Not sure how to work that out thought and how BT might handle it.

Not in the near term, but for sure in the long term you'll be able to 'share' admin. priveliges with other buzztouch users. Comments User management: Good question.

(just like locations and quiz). The php accepts a csv file to dynamic create the menu list items and custom html file. This is standard functionality in BT. So it is possible to place a csv on a webiste and create e menu list out of it. Taking that as a starting point, all you have to do is to make some userfriendly way to adjust the csv file. I my thoughts this could be a webform in html just asking some info, being the titles of you menulist items. The webform should write the new info to the csv. The csv gets loaded by the php script triggered by the BT app. This should work! (I think) I can't help you writing the scripts, but 90% is already done by using the scripts mentioned in the helpfile of the location map screen. My only hope is that anyone understands the concept I am trying to explain :-) Comments Just a thought: If I am not mistaking, you could create a menu list dynamicly with the DataURL pointing to a php script.
