It is possible, with a little modification of your plugin code... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9897978/cant-assign-multiple-buttons-to-uinavigationitem-when-using-storyboard-with-ios although it is explained with storyboards, the theory holds true for xibs or programmatic. Cheers! -- Smug

Yup exactly as smug said. Keep in mind however you would have to link the screen manually and would not be able to change the screen link in the control panel - at least not with modifying more code then you probably want! Cheers, David https://buzztouchmods.com

The navbar buttons can either be right or left. But you can add multiple right or left navbar buttons but ustilising an array First off lets make a new button UIBarButtonItem *yipee = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Yipee" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:nil action:@selector(yipeeAlert)]; nice and simple we have made a barbutton called yippee. it's got a title "yipee" it's a normal plain button, no target and it fires a method when clicked called yipeeAlert. Let's make an array for our happy buttons NSMutableArray* navBarButtons = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; we've called it navBarButtons and we've made it mutable as we may add or remove Okay let's add a button the first button will be the right most and work in. [navBarButtons addObject:yipee]; //notice yipee is the name of our new button Here's were the mutable bit comes in, Buzztouch gives us a cheeky hard coded right nav button, but it is not always used so we put an if statement before adding it. //there isn't always a rightnavbarbutton in the control panel so we check before adding if(self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem != nil){ [navBarButtons addObject:self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem]; } The if statement asks do we have a rightnavbarbutton is NOT blank then lets add it. Note BT rightnavbar button is called ALWAYS rightBarButtonItem Then we point are navbar at the selection of right bar buttons self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = navBarButtons; This altogether looks like this and should be added to the end of the viewwillappear method UIBarButtonItem *yipee = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Yipee" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:nil action:@selector(yipeeAlert)]; NSMutableArray* navBarButtons = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; [navBarButtons addObject:yipee]; //there isn't always a rightnavbarbutton in the control panel so we check before adding if(self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem != nil){ [navBarButtons addObject:self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem]; } self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = navBarButtons; To test it works we need that yipeeAlert method add this outside any other methods -(void)yipeeAlert{ UIAlertView *message = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Yipee" message:@"I created an extra UIBarButtonItem" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil]; [message show]; } Obviously yipee alert could be anything, open new screen, go back, show camera, turn flash light eta.

Maybe it's me, but when using this code with a BT rightBarButtonItem I lose the Yipee button and get double BT buttons when returning to the screen. A manual refresh corrects the problem. Also, how would you put the yipee button to the left of the BT button? Here is a screen capture to demo the problem: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16323370/yipee.mov Thanks in advance :-)

Hi reddog I've just copy and pasted that into a buzz carousel view did appear and refreshed the app. did you put it at the end of the viewwillappear method to change the order you add the objects the other way around so the yipee button would be last UIBarButtonItem *yipee = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Yipee" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:nil action:@selector(yipeeAlert)]; NSMutableArray* navBarButtons = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; //there isn't always a rightnavbarbutton in the control panel so we check before adding if(self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem != nil){ [navBarButtons addObject:self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem]; } [navBarButtons addObject:yipee];

Here's a vid as well so it show's I'm no lying lol https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16651980/2013-06-09_21-42-53.mp4 Danny said he had an issue where multiple buttons where created, when I showed how to do this with Scringo. but I cannot replicate this. Are you self hosted is this a bug on the server, I'm pretty sured everything is packaged up the same. Ahh the mysteries of code

Yep. Self hosted. No worries, I don't need multiple buttons at this time. I can try to figure it out later. Go enjoy your Sunday. It's about over for you.

that's the layout method here's what it should look like //view will appear -(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated{ [super viewWillAppear:animated]; [BT_debugger showIt:self theMessage:@"viewWillAppear"]; //flag this as the current screen myApp_appDelegate *appDelegate = (myApp_appDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]; appDelegate.rootApp.currentScreenData = self.screenData; //setup navigation bar and background [BT_viewUtilities configureBackgroundAndNavBar:self theScreenData:[self screenData]]; //if we have not yet inited data.. if(self.didInit == 0){ [self performSelector:(@selector(loadData)) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.1]; [self setDidInit:1]; } //show adView? if([[BT_strings getJsonPropertyValue:self.screenData.jsonVars nameOfProperty:@"includeAds" defaultValue:@"0"] isEqualToString:@"1"]){ [self showHideAdView]; } UIBarButtonItem *yipee = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Yipee" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:nil action:@selector(yipeeAlert)]; NSMutableArray* navBarButtons = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; [navBarButtons addObject:yipee]; //there isn't always a rightnavbarbutton in the control panel so we check before adding if(self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem != nil){ [navBarButtons addObject:self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem]; } self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = navBarButtons; }

Does your buzz Carousel auto refresh when it is loaded? Maybe the simple menu does not? Just thinking out loud :-)

You were right (as usual). I kept moving the code lower and lower. I thought I started in view will appear but I was in load data area. (dope).
