I have 100 categories that need to go into the simple menu. The categories will change weekly. Is there a way to make the simple menu open to a url instead of another screen? Or a way to pass a variable to the Custom URL screen. I would prefer not to have to make 100+ screens The url I would be loading would be example.com?category=$var I would want the $var passed from the simple menu. thanks in advance.

Are you saying you want a menu item to open to a URL? If so, that's totally possible...just pick the Custom URL screen and plugin the URL. You can send it to a script that outputs the required screen data. However, for each menu item, you do need to create a new screen that the item connects to, which would mean 100 Custom URL screens. Off the top of my head, I'm not sure of a way around that. Mark

Based on what I"m reading the the app_Delagate.java file, the bt_config.txt can be located on a remote URL and I can use that to generate all of the screens? There is a "dataURL" in the the bt_config.txt but that shows only the original code before any modifications in eclipse. I would like to find the correct syntax for this.

I'm off island travelling, so apologies for the lack of details, but you can do this with php if you don't mind an 'online' app. Look into 'loadScreenObject' and creating dynamic screens on the fly. Cheers! -- Smug

You can use the tips on this post. You don't necessarily need to use a Database and PHP to make it work. Alternatively to a DB-PHP combo, just point to hand-created JSON files that you will update on a weekly basis. http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?fid=0AEFF1909A28E9AC27DD126&tid=0AEFF1909A28E9AC27DD126 -- Niraj

Creating the JSON data with PHP and Mysql is no problem. What I need is the syntax to load the bt Screens list and the simple menu from a remote JSON FILE. "BT_screens":[ {"itemId":"2D3AAA3BEA352BC6B03014C", "itemType":"BT_screen_htmlDoc", "itemNickname":"MIDDLEBURY", "navBarTitleText":"MIDDLEBURY HOMES", "navBarRightButtonType":"refresh", "dataURL":"http://example.com/cdata.php?city=MIDDLEBURY"}, {"itemId":"FBEFB789A0084A915EB50D1", "itemType":"BT_screen_htmlDoc", "itemNickname":"BETHLEHEM", "navBarTitleText":"BETHLEHEM HOMES", "navBarRightButtonType":"refresh", "dataURL":"http://example.com/cdata.php?city=BETHLEHEM", "forceRefresh":"0", "includeAds":"1"}, And {"itemId":"0A127ECCACE52ECFF5589C3", "itemType":"BT_screen_menuListSimple", "itemNickname":"Towns", "navBarTitleText":"Towns", "includeAds":"1", "childItems":[{"itemId":"DD7398553331BB8BE407F78", "itemType":"BT_menuItem", "loadScreenWithItemId":"E9659D836D0437BDE30E61F","titleText":"Beacon Falls" }, {"itemId":"27BB77C7456FCF066EECB33", "itemType":"BT_menuItem", "loadScreenWithItemId":"FBEFB789A0084A915EB50D1","titleText":"Bethlehem" }, {"itemId":"420EB638A5C06339D50457B", "itemType":"BT_menuItem", "loadScreenWithItemId":"B5723C5C98764E8C4012007","titleText":"Bristol" },
