Howdy! I'm working with somebody on their app, and they're using a Custom HTML plugin with links to Facebook, Instagram, and a website. They'd like when the user taps on those icons, that it launches the associated app (FB, Instagram, etc). Is that possible within the Custom HTML plugin? I know there's an option to provide a way to launch the entire page in a browser, but what about a way to modify something on a per-link basis? Thanks! Mark

? https://www.quora.com/How-does-Bitlys-Deep-Linking-detect-if-the-user-already-has-the-app-installed ? Maybe?

Hmmmm...maybe. I'm sure we could probably come up with some Javascript or something to do it. I'll keep researching. Thanks for the feedback! Mark

I just found out that this is called deeplink a service based option is this: https://deeplink.me/why But there should be deeplink generators out there, the problem is that deeplink is also something else, so not easy to find one. one generator is supposed to be here: http://urx.com/about/urx_links but it's not working

http://mobiledeeplinking.org/ Twitter twitter://timeline Opens the Twitter app and links to the user’s timeline Facebook fb://profile Opens the Facebook app and links to the user’s profile

I'll check those out, @benedettoapp...thanks for the info!

Hi Mark. Maybe I was overthinking this? Do you just want button links on a html page that opens the Facebook or Twitter apps on the users phone and takes them to your clients page? Like: <a href="fb://profile/393773117341430" class="facebook">My Fanpage</a> fb://profile/393773117341430 <a href="twitter://page?id=601496031" class="twitter">My Twitter Page</a> twitter://page?id=601496031 ?

Yep, that is exactly what I was looking for! A way to open up a native app instead of opening the page in the webView. That should do the trick! Mark

@reddog Is there a way to "bury" the whole string behind a BT referenced image? I've been playing with what you suggested but "my fan page" shows up as a clickable link before my image....

Hi Ashley, Sorry...meant to respond to your email, but got busy. To make an image clickable/tapable, it should be like this: <a href="http://www.yourlink.com"><img src="wherever image is"></a> So, the image goes in between the link tags...in the place where text would go if you were making a text link.

If you replace the "My Fanpage" text with an img src (like <img src="your/image/location.jpg">) then it will do what you're asking.

Awesome! I'm close...where does the size of the image go to also be buried behind? height="200" src="" width="200" /></p>

In the image tag: <img src="path/to/image.jpg" height="200" width="200" alt="alternate text"> http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp Mark
