I'm working in Version 1.5 but the program screens I see don't look the same as the tutorials that I'm following for version 1.5. Have things changed? Also, I liked that version 1.4 immediately allowed me to upload to the home screen an app image. How does this work with version 1.5? Thanks

Hey again.. The videos for v1.5 were made two days ago, havn't changed anything since... maybe were looking at two different things? If you like the idea behind v1.4... here's all it is in '1.5 speak' a) Make a menu-list (new v1.5 apps start out with one empty list like this) b) Add some items to it (just like in 1.4) c) Add a Header Image. v1.4 uses a 300 x 150 image. In v.1.5 you need to tell it the size of the image in Advanced Properties. Tons can be tweaked here Whalla - a 1.5 app that looks and feels like a 1.4 app. But wait..there's more... v1.4 also has a tappable image and cool icon in toolbar for 'info'....continue... d) Add a 'Right Nav Bar' button to your menu and point it to a Custom HTML / TEXT screen, choose 'flip' for the right button animation (if you like to flip) e) Add a Header Image Tap screen, same thing, pick a screen to load, pick an animation. Now you LITERALLY have the exact same thing as a v1.4 app but filled with goodness and ridiculous flexibility. Ya lost me on the videos, whatcha' watchin' anyway?

Gotcha. Will try it. Thanks. I'm still not sure Why I'm seeing something different. I could take screen shots and send them to you. I'd need an email address to do that, right?

info 'at' buzztouch.com is a pretty good catch-all.

Thanks I'm sending a screen shot. It is regarding the layout and how the Home menu bar overlaps the page listing. Perhaps you can share with me why this is doing that.

The step Add some items to it (just like 1.4) my question is - I can't find a entry in the list for image only Image gallery - do I add that as the item list to upload an image?

I'm unable to get any image to appear within the Header image I've placed my URL for the image saved and refreshed - nada. It seems very straightforward unsure what's going on.

Also, My app reads 89 views. Are other people able to see my app? Where is it getting the number of views from?

Views come from three possible places: a) When you refresh the simulator - view count goes up one b) When somebody that has intalled your app launches it - view count goes up one (this isn't happening if you're not in iTunes) c) When somebody browses a very long list of applications in the two-year-old buzztouch 'viewer' application that is no longer available. More on c: A long long time ago we had a buzztouch mobile app in iTunes that allowed you to 'preview' apps created on the site. It was a cool tool and was very ver useful for testing, debugging, etc. It also allowed folks to 'see' apps created by others. It's possible that somebody in iPhone land still has this app on their device. If they do, they won't be able to 'see' your app becuase it doens't support the new software. However, they would be able to see your app's title, and tap on it to 'try' to load it. If they tap on it, your view count would go up one. This almos never happens anymore. yes, we hope to re-introduce such a tool but have spent months trying to get Apple to understand how 'useful' and 'cool' this app was / is. They mostly disagree ;0-)

OK I finally figured out my problem. I didn't put the size of my image in correctly.

Hi David, Sorry to have been such a nag. Everything is working as it should now and I love this program! Thanks for getting back with me. Now I'm going to try and compile and bundle in Xcode. I'll watch the tutorials for sure. Hopefully you won't hear from me again. :) C

Hi David, Is there away to have a splash screen page on an app?

Yup. a) Create a new Splash Screen in your list of screens. b) Set it's properties. How long to show, how to animate away, etc c) Go to Global Theme, in the Splash Screen, enter the nickname of the splash screen you created. Good stuff.

Yes, I completely overlooked the menu item for splash screens. So it seems simple. I added a splash screen in my menu list of screens (I provided a nickname), i clicked on the screen to set the settings (don't see a place to put the size height and length areas like the header had), I went to Global theme found and entered the splash screen I created and I refreshed my simulator. I do not see the splash screen. bummer. Perhaps I've missed something. (You must work long into the night. You posted this response late. Thanks for taking time to answer my questions.)

Yeah, splash screens are a simple image. So...if the splash screen you setup doesn't have an image, and doens't have a background, it's going to be 'clear' - or 'invisible' You could test the screens animation (like how long it fades, etc) by addding a background color.

Gotcha. I didn't have a background only an image. Let me try that again. My splash screen image is 640x960 is this a problem?

No, image size should be OK.. don't remember if it scales down or not? I like to use a smallish image, with a transparent background for the image. Then, I add a solid background color, or gradient. This approach is a cool effect and centers the logo, brand, whatever nicely on the screen. I also like the 'fade away' option.

OK, well then I've done all that with no success. The splash screen is it's own screen and wouldn't be listed under my menu list, yes? If I test it on the simulator it should be there, yes? Should I quit the simulator and restart? I'm just not sure what is going on.

OK... I've looked at your app. Looks like you created a splash screen called business bitch home splashscreen - this is good. Next, I visited the app's theme and saw that this screen was not setup in the Spash Screen Nickname box, for the theme. I've entered this nickname in the splash screen box in the theme you're using. Test, looks awesome! Refresh the app on the sim... should work.

You rock!!!!! sweet thanks so much David! seriously awesome customer relations work.

It's all a ploy to get you to take over the PR gig around here. Really. You're gonna at some point, you just may not realize it yet. Hee Hee

I know one thing, I like your product. That makes me an evangelical customer which is great free PR when I talk about it and spread your information. :)

Im Loving it too :) Heres one thing .. I cant seem to edit the behaviour of the location items... Ive made an html page to go to instead of just straight to driving directions .. but cant get in to change the properties ... .. delete and remake ?

Yes. The Load Screen cannot be edited once a location item is created in the control panel. There are some technical reasons for this ;-) Alternatively, you could see this long post about how to use a file of locations stored on your webisite: http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=65181E4ADF97874B08E6D2B
