Using Self Hosted BT3.0, the context menu does not appear. Set it all up, but it does not show up.. Ideas? Thanks

I had the same problem. iOS right? I figured possibly it was me lol.. But I guess still a few issues. I've tried it on BT as well and no go. Does it work for you on BT?

Thanks. IOS, yes. haven't tried it on BT. BT downloaded apps don't compile the plugins... weird....

yes. try upgrading all of the plugins manually and removing the old. i had the same issue and some bt plugins still have version number 1.5 (from 2.19) although they have been upgraded to be consistent with the 3.0 core bt server

I just realized that the Context Menu is not in the Menu with Image today. I bet there is some code in the Menu Simple I can copy over to it. I will check it out.

Found the problem to this in the BT Core 3.0 (ios). 1. Open BT_viewController.m 2. Around line 256, find where the string "contextMenuId" is being assigned to the JSON parameter "contextMenuId". 3. The plugins I checked are saving a JSON parameter called "contextMenuItemId" (notice the extra "Item". 4. Change the JSON parameter in the BT_viewController.m (NOT the NSString name!) to "contextMenuItemId" 5. Do the same thing around line 602-ish Recompile, and look for your new context menu! -Chris

Its possible that the problem is really in all the plugins, and not the core. Just depends on what the parameter was supposed to be called. I'll send this fix to David, just to make sure he wanted the JSON to be called contextMenuItemId, and not contextMenuId. -Chris

Wow, great find. It should be contextMenuItemId and NOT contextMenuId. The control panel uses an HTML form element named: json_contextMenuItemId Note the json_ tells the control panel this is a data point to save, the remaining contextMenuItemId is the property name that gets saved. So @Stobe is right. It's doubtful that ANY plugins have changed this to contextMenuId - the incorrect value. The download server has been updated. In your existing project, if you want to make this quick fix without re-fetching anything...just find and replace ALL occurances of contextMenuId with contextMenuItemId. The NSString names and the JSON property names. Just change them all. That's what the download server now has. The "village" is helping - a ton - it's awesome!!!

Sweet thanks so much!

The context menu now shows up however, the menu items/screens won't show up either. Via this post: https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?fid=B2041979676E531C67076CB&tid=B2041979676E531C67076CB

I have been baffled by this for a while, although I get the menu icon appearing in plugin menu with image I am not getting anything when I press the icon. menu is not dip laying any ideas would be welcomed !

I have the context menu working in my simulator right now. Are you compiling with ios 7?

I am - It's not working for me.. What's your secret?

Thanks guys

I still cannot get Context Menu to work. Icon appears in plugin Menu with Image but when I press nothing happens. Any ideas would be welcomed. I am compiling for iOS 6 upwards, and trying it on iOS 7

Try compiling for ios7

just curious.. did anyone that was having problems solve the problem? i'm compiling for ios7 (using 3.0 core ios) and it just won't work. tested on my device and simulator. i'm self-hosted .. could that be an issue of some sort. In my debug console I see: returning BT_menu object with itemId and it registers the click on the menu as: showContextMenu Im lost :/

I'm curious if anyone else following this thread has gotten it working. I have it working perfectly, with no hacks or fixes, etc. If you're still having trouble this weekend @mysps, maybe we can do a screen-share or something? -Chris

Chris, have you tried it on an iPad? I believe I saw a different forum post yesterday where it had problems on the iPad.

Unfortunately, iPad is working for me also, lol. If someone wants to paste the JSON from their context menu here, maybe that can help me troubleshoot. It will be in the "BT_menus" section of the BT_config.txt right after the BT_tabs -Chris

Update: Looks like it works fine in a non-tabbed app, but not in a tabbed app. Sorry! I've been testing in a non-tabbed app. Working on a solution... will update when a fix is ready. -Chris

Yep Chris! The apps i've tried use the tab bar. Shux

Edit:v1. Found out that on my Samsung and on the smaller t-mobile I am not seeing the context menu at all. Same app installed to the Samsung Note, T-Mobile Prism, and an HP touchpad running Android. The phones don't show the context menu, the tablet does, but as such, noted below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is what I am finding. BTv3.0 Android 4.0 - Tablet Setup with no Tabs, standard simple menus. Json data looks good and validates. I have 3 items setup in the context menu Camera Setup Information Emergency I get the context menu for Android on the right side. I can click it and it drops down a box that has this in it. (looks nice) Refresh All Data Close Quit App They all work, as suggested(refresh,close, and quit), but that is not what I wanted. Hee hee. Wahhhhh! Huh! What? Json looks great, looks like this { "BT_appConfig":{ "BT_items":[ { "itemId":"JA712235E363F7E2DCE7328A1", "itemType":"BT_app", "buzztouchAppId":"JA712235E363F7E2DCE7328A1", "buzztouchAPIKey":"8723708536EF2327DB4E685", "dataURL":"https://www.buzztouch.com/api/app/?command=getAppData&appGuid=JA712235E363F7E2DCE7328A1&apiKey=8723708536EF2327DB4E685&apiSecret=F4298CA10BCC6EC710B9F1C", "reportToCloudURL":"https://www.buzztouch.com/api/app/?command=reportToCloud&appGuid=JA712235E363F7E2DCE7328A1&apiKey=8723708536EF2327DB4E685&apiSecret=F4298CA10BCC6EC710B9F1C&deviceId=[deviceId]&deviceLatitude=[deviceLatitude]&deviceLongitude=[deviceLongitude]&deviceModel=[deviceModel]&userId=[userId]", "registerForPushURL":"https://www.buzztouch.com/api/app/?command=registerForPush&appGuid=JA712235E363F7E2DCE7328A1&apiKey=8723708536EF2327DB4E685&apiSecret=F4298CA10BCC6EC710B9F1C&deviceId=[deviceId]&deviceLatitude=[deviceLatitude]&deviceLongitude=[deviceLongitude]&deviceModel=[deviceModel]&userId=[userId]", "lastModified":"Mon, 20 Jan 2014 01:46:01 -0800", "lastPublished":"Sat, 04 Jan 2014 20:04:37 -0800", "name":"Kid Locator 2", "version":"1.0", "currentMode":"Design", "startLocationUpdates":"0", "promptForPushNotifications":"0", "allowRotation":"largeDevicesOnly", "BT_themes":[ { "itemId":"50CEBCE1960C00F2BC16DE4", "itemType":"BT_theme", "backgroundColor":"#FFFFFF" } ], "BT_tabs":[ ], "BT_menus":[ { "itemId":"54E11868C1F758A1C71F9F1", "itemType":"BT_menu", "itemNickname":"InfoAndDisclaimer", "childItems":[ ] } ], "BT_screens":[ { "itemId":"5CEAF026F3D30721BAE063C", "itemType":"BT_screen_menuButtons", "itemNickname":"NEVER LOST", "navBarTitleText":"WELCOME TO - HERE I AM", "navBarBackgroundColor":"#FFFFFF", "navBarStyle":"solid", "contextMenuNickname":"InfoAndDisclaimer", "contextMenuItemId":"54E11868C1F758A1C71F9F1", "buttonLayoutStyle":"horizontalBottom", "buttonLabelLayoutStyle":"below", "preventAllScrolling":"1",....................... ~ ~ more screen stuff here, but not related to context menu ~ .................................................................. ~ ............................................................ { "itemId":"1C8B88CD63FAE935BC5FF57", "itemType":"BT_screen_wordDoc", "itemNickname":"information", "navBarTitleText":"information", "navBarBackgroundColor":"#FFFFFF", "navBarStyle":"solid", "backgroundColor":"#FFFFFF" }, { "itemId":"177D11E1E7898BC1439E402", "itemType":"BT_screen_menuListSimple", "itemNickname":"InfoAndDisclaimer", "navBarTitleText":"INFORMATION", "backgroundColor":"#FFFFFF", "backgroundImageNameSmallDevice":"nonblueframemusic.png", "backgroundImageNameLargeDevice":"nonblueframemusic.png", "backgroundImageScale":"fullScreen", "childItems":[ { "itemId":"21EDEA20D7B4DE47ED26732", "itemType":"BT_menuItem", "loadScreenWithItemId":"1C8B88CD63FAE935BC5FF57", "titleText":"CAMERA SETUP", "rowAccessoryType":"details" }, { "itemId":"621897199E4788AA5F1F289", "itemType":"BT_menuItem", "loadScreenWithItemId":"04CBAA7BCCAF680F0B3B0EC", "titleText":"APPLICATION USAGE" }, { "itemId":"B2EB1BF8EA01C18E28FCA49", "itemType":"BT_menuItem", "loadScreenWithItemId":"4CC4D0E3B987745BB97ABA4", "titleText":"EMERGENCY" } ] }, { "itemId":"04CBAA7BCCAF680F0B3B0EC", "itemType":"BT_screen_wordDoc", "itemNickname":"MomAndDad", "navBarTitleText":"MomAndDad" }, { "itemId":"4CC4D0E3B987745BB97ABA4", "itemType":"Email_image", "itemNickname":"emergency", "navBarTitleText":"emergency" } ] } ] } }
