Hi there, I have an idea, but don't know if it's possible with Buzztouch. I want to make a universal school app (only Android for now). When you start the app, you need to enter an url. This url is saved in the app itself, so you only have to enter it once. After entering the url the app starts and get's it data from a database (mysql). On the page there are several buttons and I would like to link those buttons to the database so every school has the same app and only the data on the mysql server is different. Screenshot of the app: http://www.ireneschoolgoes.nl/app/files/1.png Creating the database backend with tables and values is no problem, but is it possible to make an universal app like I want with BT. If yes, how ?? I really hope someone can point me in the right direction. I'm no programmer, so any help is very welcome. Thanks, Edwin

Welcome Edwin! Start you out a bit here we have quite of few folks already doing exactly what you are doing: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-bishops-school/id528986341?mt=8 I would recommend a few plugins paid or tweaking some free ones menu buttons can be a good start and then revise it If you already have some knowledge of database then you have it down.

Contact Jake Chasan on this forum, he is the one who made the Bishops school app. Jake can help you or you can hire him to make the app for you.

Sorry, it took a while before I could answer. I have a content management system for different schools (CMS is the same for all schools, ony different URL's) so if I need any queries, it's gonna all be the same. The problem is that I don't want to create a different app for every school, but a universal app. Some settings in the app must come from the CMS, like the logo and perhaps background colors. Since all schools are using the same CMS I only need to link the icons in the app to the right values. (like phone number, latest news, etc.) In the app I need some verification to "load" the right values from the right school. This verification must be saved on the device of course. I've take a look at the Bishops school app, and it looks really nice, but I don't think this is a universal app that can be uses by different schools. That's what I'm looking for. Any suggestions about how to proceed ? Thanks again.

See if this puts you on a better road: https://www.buzztouch.com/plugins/plugin.php?pid=A7B885BDC392B02BCAEF5F3 A login would be each school's identifier. Then serve up JSON screens as appropriate for each school to that one and only universally applicable app. -- Niraj

Also, your Server CMS should take advantage of loadScreenObject Smug has created a nice zip file explaining that methodology. http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=0AEFF1909A28E9AC27DD126&currentPage=159
