Hey there, this has always been a problem, maybe the right time to solve it now :-) On the Contact Card plugin the default transition (slide from right to left) has a white loading screen in between the menu and actual contact card. If I change the transition to flip for example, it looks perfect as the white loading screen is not visible anymore, but if I press back, the menu breaks and weird things happen... This has always been the case on IOS, no matter which xcode/bt/ios version. Anybody fix this and share the code?

@LeonG , if you happen to find a fix, keep us posted. I have experienced the same thing, and have come to rely heavily on the flip transition.

Yes, flip transition would be good if that would work! David the plugin creator has no time to fix his own plugin but will ask Chris/Kittsy to help and pay for it.

I'll take a look at it - no charge. Can you add it to buzz-tools.com so I don't lose track of it?

Hey Chris, thx! I would add it but I can't as the plugin is not listed in your drop down menu yet.

Oh sorry - I was thinking it was a David Book plugin! Yes, not all developers have asked to be part of buzz-tools.com.

Took a look at the plugin - unfortunately, there's not any good options available to you. The 'contact card' that you see is a standard Apple screen - MrDavid has just implemented some methods to populate the data based on your control panel input. The problem is, the only way to do this in a Buzztouch plugin is to load a blank screen and then load the contact screen. The actual contact screen (for some technical reasons) can't be a plugin itself, only loaded from a plugin. If I were creating an app that used this type of screen myself, I would change the code on whatever menu screen is calling it to go right to the actual contact screen, rather than to MrDavid's plugin. But, that takes a good deal of skill and would not be readily extendible to a variety of apps / BT users. As an alternative, you can try the documented suggestion of moving the [self showUnknownPersonViewController]; method from viewDidAppear to viewWillAppear. You'll find that code around line 112. Simply delete it there and paste it right after the [super viewWillAppear:animated]; method around line 70. (Don't paste it inside the green commented section).

Hey Chris, thanks for your time looking into this. I was afraid this could not be solved :( The documented suggestion does not work, it just breaks the plugin. My client has 300 contacts he wants included in the app which I did with the json snippet keeper and menu with image advanced. All works, just the transition does not give it a professional feel. The white loading screen does not appear if the "flip" transition is chosen, but it breaks if you press the back button. Is this something that could be looked into? If not, maybe you can send me an offer how much a different coded way would work?

For anyone interested: Chris made it work perfectly calling it out from the menu screen directly. Will cost you some small dollars, but it is worth it!

Workaround for the transition issue is now available in the plugin review... Check it out!

Lol, sorry but that is not a workaround.

Sorry... but yes it is! Just try it...

As long as it will always show a short loading screen before it switches to the contact card screen and other transitions are not possible, the problem is not solved. But hey, if you are happy, it's good.

Yes, Leon, turning a 'problem' into a nice effect makes me happy :-)
