Marvin Custom Button for third party apps

[sz1999]

Marvin shows a way to integrate IMDB as custom button, it inspired me to find more use of this function with third party dictionary.

I am able to use the following command to lookup Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English 5th Edition (LDOCE 5):

idoce://{text}?exact=on

It works from marvin to invoke this lovely dictionary from long tap. But idoce has a "back" button on screen that allows go back to an app without double clicking idevice home button to pick the app from multitasking, so I tried the following command but they are not working

idoce://{text}?exact=on&srcname=Marvin&back={marvin:/}
idoce://{text}?exact=on&srcname=Marvin&back="marvin:/"
idoce://{text}?exact=on&srcname=Marvin&back='marvin:/' (***this command works for lookup but not back button***)

Marvin developer maybe can help me to correct the command string - how to correctly pass the Marvin app string to idoce back button?

If it is resolved, there are many more dictionaries can be used in Marvin custom buttons - most dictionaries developed by english channel and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, agiletortoise such as idoce, american heritage dictionary, terminology etc. They all can be fully integrated into Marvin custom button with convenient back function.

Thanks for callback command.

The following command works well (even with back button)

Longman dictionary

idoce://{text}?exact=on&srcname=Marvinapp&back=marvinapp://

American heritage dictionary

ahd5dict://{text}?exact=on&srcname=Marvinapp&back=marvinapp://

terminology

terminology://x-callback-url/lookup?text={text}?&x-source=Marvinapp&x-success=marvinapp://


custom button and callback are very useful features, i am surprised this forum shows no interest at all.
