It shows a standard splash screen on load, then transitions to a tutorial if this is the first time the app has loaded. After the tutorial is finished, the app will transition to your home screen. The tutorial can have as many screens as you need, each styled differently. There are three types of tutorial screens to choose from: 1) Standard screen --includes a title, description and image 2) Header screen --includes a header view at the top (using a .xib file you create), along with a title, description and image 3) Nib screen --create a .xib file for the entire screen, giving you ultimate flexibility. The advantage of the .xib files is that they are drag-and-drop. To create one, simply open XCode and go to File->New->File. Choose "View" from the "User Interface" menu, and give it a name. This plugin is based on the open-source project "MyBlurIntroductionView" of Matthew York. See license.txt in the plugin package for licensing details.

chadh0130 Apple Fan Posts: 352 Reg: Nov 05, 2011 Rhode Island 4,020	12/20/13 10:18 PM (11 years ago) Cool plugin. After setting up the screens, I noticed the plugin isn't under the Global Settings > Splash. Is there something I'm forgetting to get this to work as a splash? Also, where in the control panel do I define the splash image within the plugin page? Comments Cool plugin.

chris1 Code is Art Posts: 3862 Reg: Aug 10, 2012 Austin, TX 50,120	12/20/13 10:43 PM (11 years ago) That's an outstanding bug with the Buzztouch server - it works on self-hosted, and will make it into a future update for buzztouch.com. For the splash image, use the background image property.
