I don't know about you guys, but I was impressed by Scringo and wanted to use it later on in my app, just since I am not sure of all the different problems it might cause (I have seen a couple myself, like getting my webview screens unresponsive sometimes) I thought it's best to have a switch for it in the control panel. I can now turn it on or off from the CP whenever I like. So this way I'll get it tested more while I'm waiting for the Apple reviews and releasing my apps. Then whenever I feel stable about it I'll just turn it on: WHOALLA. Maybe I'll get some extra $$ from my clients then as I'm implementing collection of new social features for their app! I don't know if anybody else has done this. So if you need any pointers in doing so let me know. I'll just post my code or something.

I have made a suggestion list here https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=767DE11546B599760A2AB70&fid=06DB0BCB08E1010&sortColumn=FT.id&sortUpDown=DESC&currentPage=1 I think i added something with control on scringo on the control panel so we dont have to change it in the code.

Yup but until David and the crew get in packed into the source code we're gonna need to do it ourselves. It's a couple lines inside the appdelegate.

Yes please webnerves

Hi WebNevees please share your technique for doing this as I would like to know how. Thanks!

Ok so you can make minimal edits to your appdelegate code and achieve this switching functionality This consists of 2 steps as below: STEP 1: In the appdelegate file at around line 404 you'll find the method: -(void)configureEnvironmentUsingAppData:(NSString *)appData Go to the ending few lines of the method and you'll find the line: //init Scringo agent… [ScringoAgent startSession:@"YOUR_SCRINGO_APP_ID" locationManager:nil]; just replace the above two lines with the following lines: ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //WEBNEVEES: CHECK TO SEE IF SCRINGO HAS BEEN TURNED ON FROM THE CP /////////////////// BOOL activateScringo = FALSE; //appDelegate sarafishirazapp_appDelegate *appDelegate = (sarafishirazapp_appDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]; NSString *stringActivateScringo = [BT_strings getJsonPropertyValue:appDelegate.rootApp.rootTheme.jsonVars nameOfProperty:@"activateScringo" defaultValue:@"No"]; [BT_debugger showIt:self theMessage:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"SCRINGOACTIVATION: Does the CP want to activate Scringo: %@", stringActivateScringo]]; if([stringActivateScringo isEqualToString:@"Yes"]){ [BT_debugger showIt:self theMessage:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"YES the CP wants to activate Scringo: %@", stringActivateScringo]]; activateScringo = TRUE; } //WEBNEVEES: Now check to see if switch is on. Then turn call the scringo start session method if(activateScringo){ //init Scringo agent… [ScringoAgent startSession:@"YOUR_SCRINGO_APP_ID" locationManager:nil]; } //WEBNEVEES:just the scringo line here was original ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// So now just after the new code you will see the following 2 lines and you'll know you've placed the code in the right place: }//app parsed it's configuration data } STEP 2: You'll have to specify if you want to use the switch you've just made as follows: Go to your "app Control Panel". Select "Theme" from the "Application Options" bar on your left. In the "Advanced, Manually Edit JSON " section add the following key and value pair just before the closing curly brace (don't forget to add a comma before it!): "activateScringo":"No" OR "activateScringo":"Yes" If you want it to be active. Then just save (and rinse!) ** The good part about this method is that users without a self-hosted panel can also do the same. So if your control panel is on BUZZTOUCH.COM you will have to: Go to your "app Control Panel". Go to "Global Themes" Select "Default Theme" (or the one that is active) In the "Advanced, Manually Edit JSON " section add the above following key and value pair just before the closing curly brace (and again don't forget to add a comma before it!). Oh and don't forget to save and rinse! Now after you submit to apple and hopefully get approved you'll be able to turn off scringo via the control panel if you find your app is bleeding, or turn it on if you're in the mood for socializing. Nothing to it! ALSO REMEMBER TO INCLUDE THE LATEST BT_CONFIG.TXT FILE IN YOUR XCODE SOURCE (WHICH INCLUDES YOUR NEW ACTIVATESCRINGO KEY). AND TELL ME IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CODE. I HAVE ONLY TESTED IT MYSELF FOR 3-4 DAYS.

Good stuff. Might want to also convert your string to a capitalized string, so users can enter "yes", "YES", " "Yes", etc, on the control panel.

Oh yes of course, thanks for the note. Just was eager to finish off in order to submit! And nice badge Chris! I saw David on the Buzzcon13 video talking about it. and the "Lifetime Membership!"

Good Stuff!
