UserVoice integration in an Phonegap application

Question

I have this iOS Phonegap application and I need to integrate UserVoice. I follow this tutorial and I have reached to the point I have to make the configuration. I am really not sure where I have to put that object UserVoice are providing me with:

UVConfig *config = [UVConfig configWithSite:@"YOUR_USERVOICE_URL"
                                 andKey:@"YOUR_KEY"
                              andSecret:@"YOUR_SECRET",
                            andSSOToken:@"SOME_BIG_LONG_SSO_TOKEN"];

I'll appreciate some help with that, since I'm really on a beginner level with iOS apps in general. Thanks in advance.

The code you posted comes from the UserVoice for iOS SDK which gives you the libraries and code necessary to include UserVoice in a native iOS app and will not work with a PhoneGap app.

Your options are to write a PhoneGap plugin, in Obj-C, to expose the UserVoice library, or possibly a better option is simply to open your UserVoice page within your PhoneGap app using the InAppBrowser plugin.

Right. You can either create a [PhoneGap plugin](http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.3.0/guide_plugin-development_ios_index.md.html#Developing%20a%20Plugin%20on%20iOS), or just use the UserVoice web interface. I know some people have used the [UserVoice SDK with PhoneGap before](https://github.com/uservoice/uservoice-iphone-sdk/issues/67), but it doesn't look like anyone has provided an opensource plugin for it. – Austin Taylor Feb 04 '13 at 17:39

I took the code from here: http://developerextensions.com/index.php/cordova-phonegap-plugin-uservoice and followed their instructions.

There were some additional things I needed to do:

edit the config.xml and add the feature UserVoiceCommand
edit the .js file and replace Ext.emptyFn with function(){}:

cordova.exec(function(){}, function(){}, "UserVoiceCommand", "launch", [config]);

(those are the success and failure callback, which I intend to implement as well)

Since it was not functioning correctly on iOS7, I cloned https://github.com/uservoice/uservoice-ios-sdk, compiled it by running ./build.sh and then overwritten the files that came with the plugin.

You can now get iOS+Android support from this new cordova plugin:

https://github.com/Resgrid/cordova-plugins-uservoice

P.S. I am not affiliated to this plugin by any means, just came across it.
