Ext.tux.InstallPanel - Automatically ask to add the application to the Home Screen

[AndreaCammarata]

Uhmm...could you try to post me the code you are using or just a screenshot?
And, are you on iPhone or iPad?

[jnw]

Sure. Here is a screen capture. I'm using iPhone 3GS. I can also try it on iPad but I don't have it with me at the moment. I can e-mail you a link if you would like to see the code.

So thats a really nice plugin, but just to say, i've just tried your website demo and you force people to add it to the homescreen right ? Because I tried to remove that windows popup, or to cancel it but no way, I had to add it the homescreen to visit your website.
I really wanted to visit your website so I did but for a random website, if i cant cancel that kind of thing i just go somewhere else.

Hi jujuo.
Well, that's was my intentional purpose to force the user to add the application to Home Screen, however, I can understand your needs, do I think I will a new config param named something like "closable" and if set to true, the panel display a closable button on the top right corner. This should solve you request.

Hope this helps.

Very nice job, thanks!

Do you happen to know if there´s a way to bypass restriction that prevents web-app installations to homescreen after you have installed all 9 homescreens full....?

Hi applauz.
To use this tux inside you application follow these steps:

- Download the plugin from github.
- Add the Ext.tux.InstallPanel-minified.js to you index page from the "js" folder.
- Add the Ext.tux.InstallPanel.css to you index page from the "resources/css" folder.
- Add the plugin to your application creation as showed in the readme file, so something like this:

Ext.regApplication('MyApp', {

      //Set the application name
     name: 'MyApp',
 
       //Set the application Icon
       icon: 'icon.png',
 
       //Definition of Ext.tux.InstallPanel Plugin
       plugins: [new Ext.tux.InstallPanel()],
 
       //Definizione del punto di ingresso dell'applicazione
       launch: function() {
 
         //Create here your Application Viewport
 
       }
 
  });

Hope this helps.

There is no way to get around it... best way is to have some error catch (if there is an error) and tell the user that his homescreens are full and tell them about folders on the homescreen.
