Hi guys, If you have any ideas for any plugin requests, post them here, would be happy to try and make it happen for free for you, then sell it later if it's something good! Let me know, would love to kill my free time learning and coding more these days. p.s. my coding skills are level 5 out of 10 (David would be on the scale as 12), so most likely what I can do is very limited, but always fun to try. Figured I would start on plugins people are still looking for. Cheers, David https://buzztouchmods.com/market

Are you capable of converting Xcode projects to BT plugins? I have a few that would be work wonderfully with BuzzTouch. Maybe it work better as a paid project :D Are you available for hire?

Yes! Exactly what CakeBit says above. i need a hand-coded xcode project to turn into a plugin! When David (the reading one... hahaha Book) he said it would be relatively easy, depending on the type of plugin. You may have sent eh plugin I want to make on the 'Show and Tell' lesson.

A countdown plugin....a donate amount pluin...an image gallery plugin with direct button to set as wall paper..I would like any 1 of those in plug in market.....cheers

I would like to see a plugin that could capture video that you could store in a database. Nothing fancy as far as editing but just a way to capture video and keep it somewhere is an organized fashion.

I am available for hire as of... two days ago. email me: [email protected] I've ported a few projects into plugins before, but sometimes something easy becomes super hard. I'm also not the best with connecting things into the control panel, so that may be limited. @Thomas forsure you can send it and I can take a look, if it's easy I'll do for free no problem. The only way I want to be paid is if its a) more work then expected, something harder or b) something that I don't want to do. If it's not fun it's work, the only way to make it desirable is to be paid. LOL. This thread was more meant for just fun ideas and to see what people might want that I could mess around with. You can both email me if you want. If it's way beyond my capabilities I can refer you to others who can do it for a good price. David https://buzztouchmods.com/market

@ridgerock and @akshay... great ideas! I will look into them and keep you up to date on them here. I think a countdown plugin exists however already right? David https://buzztouchmods.com/market

Yes it is there..but only for ios.. If something more clicks I will post here.. Cheers.

Thanks David! I'll send you an email when I get to my computer :D

a simple product order plugin would be great. like a simple shopping cart that takes an order and keeps total and then simply emails it for cash on delivery so no payment gateway etc.

I'd second the product order plugin, if you could find away to make sure apple doesn't deny the app for skirting their payment system... or even a product order plugin that ties into Apple's in-app purchase (goodbye 30%, lol, still, I'd use it). A couple of big ones for me that would take BT to the next level are... 1) MYSQL database plugin - create & modify data connected to an online mysql database directly from the app. For example, you set the database details in the BT control panel (host, username, password, database name), and then you can make text fields and labels in your screen that retrieve, display and possibly edit that data, which saves to the online database. I've been looking for a way to make simple text fields in a BT screen on iOS and have that data save somewhere, and retrieve the data in the same field when the user opens the app. I'd also love to see a localdata version, where the info is saved on their device... as an example, think about a settings screen in an app, where the users settings, passwords, etc are stored. 2) Games. Any type of game where you can simply add your graphics and it will skin the game with your own graphics. Example... angry birds game... the architecture would already be there, you'd just have to add the graphics for the birds, pigs, and blocks to your project and the game would look completely different. Obviously the control panel would tell you the graphic sizes needed, etc. This could work for casino games, etc... angry birds was just an example. 3) Reference apps - 90% of my apps in the app store all have the same function. It pulls data from a CSV database that is filled with a places name, address, phone number, reviews, ratings, pics of stuff there, and latitude & longitude. A plugin to create an app that formats all this info into a screen, with options to map it and view photos and reviews would be invaluable for me. Seriously, I'd pay $100 or more for this plugin if it made my data look like it does in my hand coded apps. (Search "Dave Helmig" in the app store to see my diners driveins and dives app, ghost hunter, strip clubs, or other apps I've made that do this) 4) I'd once again 2nd Mr. Stuck's product order plugin ;)

Just as a point of reference, @akshay The 'donate' plugin wouldn't work out. Apple will not allow you to 'donate' from within an app. That was the primary reason my most recent app was rejected. Of course, Google welcomed it with open arms. But it wouldn't be cross platform. Honestly, an HTML page with a paypal link turned out to be pretty effective on the Android side. Cheers! -- Smug @Angry Ninja - I don't do much 'for hire' stuff… but if you're patient I may have the plugin you're looking for with respect to your 'reference' desires. Right in line with the direction I'm heading with my next plugin. I need to get back on it (sidetracked… always) but I did a quickie video on the overview… https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/115208762/smugplug_01.mov

@Akshay Android should be easy, this would be a simple enough project for me to dive into android with. Let's do it. @CakeBit Gotcha! @Mr stuck gotcha.. this would be a good way to do that to avoid Apple's ban hammer. Might be a little advanced for me, usually, but as an email system, possibly easier, if payments are handled by paypal (so no payment gateway/backend to worry about) David https://buzztouchmods.com/market

@AngryNinja 1. I'm already releasing sort of a plugin (mod) like this. So it takes data from the control panel and places it into a excel sheet for download. So depending on the plugin and how it inputs data into the database it could be used like that? But yours is a little different. Let me look into this. If not, @chris would be right up his alley of expertise. 2. Sort of like my slot machine? Only with more functionality of course. I could find a open source game with a licence that allows it for redistribution (would just port the game). Let me see what I can find. 3. Will check this out. Would be super cool. David https://buzztouchmods.com/market

@David, just a standard cart type feature that we can add items and prices to from control panel, then only to email the order to a chosewn email address, the payment could then be made any way we choose, we could send an invoice from whatever processor we choose direct to the customer. I know this can be done in html and a great site that does it is 123 contact form but it takes a bit of css and messing around so will take a while to build a cart form but it is possible.

Gotcha, I'll look into it soon, got some other ones first to look at but I'll need something like this too so it will be checked out :-) David https://buzztouchmods.com/market

I also sent you email regarding making a chromatic tuner plugin, I would require something a little more custom but I think a multi tuner plugin would be helpful for lots of apps

Yup got it, got a lot of emails actually, will get to replying soon! David https://buzztouchmods.com/market

I do need a plugin for creating a pocket dictionary. For example to explain home appliances. To this end, the definition (explanation) part is better to support integration of small size picture. Nsaya

@nsaya, I think you could do this with the menu with image and custom html plugin? David https://buzztouchmods.com/market

Nsaya, If I had to do something like that today, I'd use a button menu, with a button representation of the appliance, linking it to an HTML page that had the desired content. Or you could use a traditional list menu, with an icon representation of the appliance… Just my thoughts. Cheers! -- Smug

Hehe beat you to it Smug! David https://buzztouchmods.com/market

My tired old bones was just thinking the same thing… ;) Cheers! -- Smug

Na, you typed in way more then me, you already started before I posted my short sentence, your bones win :-) Hurry up and get back to me on Buzzday friend! @everyone, thanks for these ideas, keep them coming, I will keep everyone updated on progress as I get started. For those who sent me emails, I will get to you guys as soon as possible. David https://buzztouchmods.com/market

We're not going to be able to make it in January… But I'm checking flights and prices for Vegas, baby. Hoping to combine it with a trip to the East Coast and say hi to the folks while I'm in country. And maybe stop by Garmin and say hello, so at least 50% of the airfare can be a write off, lol! Cheers! -- Smug

Aww! Sad to hear that, now I have no choice but to go to Vegas to meet you. Guess I will have to take that bullet! David https://buzztouchmods.com/market

Thank you so much David and Smug for you instruction, Yes I can do as you said, but I mean to have a plugin for building a dictionary, of course my dictionary won't be like Oxford one, but it is supposed to follow same structure. Home appliance was an example. other example could be: legal terms, chemistry terms, specific medical terms, terms for some machines...There are lots subject we need to put their terms in collections. If the plugin support other languages, I can easily localize my app. Regards Nsaya

@David :Glad u liked !Keep us posted :).(Unfortunately i cant be of any help) @Smug :i only play with android.so i dont know much about apple i will try the paypal link. i also feel @David should get into something that is cross-platform. cheers

It would be the first time I get into something cross platform actually..! @Nsaya okay gotcha, maybe something more structured then.. David https://buzztouchmods.com/market

Hey David, i do have a couple of requests. firstly similar to @angry ninja, i would really like a plugin that i could use as a database assistance to set up a simple one in my app. would need it to save a session to a database and then be able to view all on another page. When viewing be able to view data in groups. also this might work for a plugin, design a menu type similar to menu with image that you can split the list views into categories, this would be great. I would like to have little headings between each list describing what they are. thanks Hamish www.orasp.com

Also i would like a plugin that makes a pop up screen appear for first time users. with it looking really nice as well, with perhaps a transparent screen that you can write some text into it. thanks Hamish

Good suggestions! As for the pop up one that looks nice upon first launch, I made one that can do that here: https://buzztouchmods.com/market.php (Message Bar Plugin) David https://buzztouchmods.com/market

thanks david, looks like I'm going to have to move into self hosting to use it.

Nope! Although Self hosting is the BEST thing youl do in your BT career, The Message Bar plugin is the only plugin in the BTM Marketplace that can be used without self hosting. :-) David https://buzztouchmods.com/market

I would love a grocery list type of plugin. Basically it populates the items that people check onto a separate list.

Hey cant we have a simple pull to refresh plugin? It simple but it actually doesnt exist in any plugin market at least yet.

advanced map plugin would be great, with options to add images instead of pins, set zoom to users location and select only to show locations within x amount of miles from users location plus anything else that could be added to enhance it.

Thanks all, it's all noted, but not sure if I can get to any of them soon. David

Any chance you could create a plugin that generates numbers for lottery picks?
