Krobnett Lost but trying Posts: 3 Reg: Dec 01, 2010 location unknow... 1,780	confirm \| cancel 07/03/13 07:53 AM (12 years ago) user changeable simple menu items or update by file I have built my first application, yes i am a complete noob at any programming. So far using buzztouch has been very straight forward. I would like to make the application start with simple menu with default choices. The reason for this is because i do not want my specific menu choices in the downloadable application to start. I have not been able to find where i would find a plugin that would allow the user to configure the simple menu offline or by a downloadable file. Thanks krobnett Title Comments I have built my first application, yes i am a complete noob at any programming. So far using buzztouch has been very straight forward.

Rather than enter all the menu information in the control panel, a separate file is loaded with the menu information on it. This file can be outside of the app itself. Most people consider 'quiz' questions as an appropriate external childItems file, but menus, and almost anything else applies as well. https://www.buzztouch.com/docs/v1.5/childItems.php Cheers! -- Smug Comments Well, what you may want to do is use what is known as an external 'child items' file.

chris1 Code is Art Posts: 3862 Reg: Aug 10, 2012 Austin, TX 50,120	07/04/13 07:19 AM (12 years ago) I actually do this with all of my screens for all my apps. I bypass the control panel altogether and create my own 'bt_config.txt' file, hosted on my website. Doing so requires knowing JSON and is a lot more work than using the control panel though.
