Has anyone done this? I am looking at this code in the BT_ViewUtilities.m and from what I understand, I need to insert a UIimage rather then call the localized string? i figured out how to change the text, but I need to use the image in this case. My lack of JSON knowledge is kicking my ass... }else{ if([theViewController respondsToSelector:@selector(navLeftTap)]){ NSString *backText = NSLocalizedString(@"Back",@"Back"); if(![[BT_strings getJsonPropertyValue:theScreenData.jsonVars:@"navBarBackButtonText":@""] isEqualToString:@""]){ backText = [BT_strings getJsonPropertyValue:theScreenData.jsonVars:@"navBarBackButtonText":@""]; } UIBarButtonItem *theBackButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:backText style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:theViewController action:@selector(navLeftTap)]; [theViewController.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:theBackButtonItem]; [theBackButtonItem release]; }else{ [theViewController.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:nil];

Hi in Minny, Totally doable. In fact, in that very same file you can see how an image is used in a UIBarButtonItem for another navigation bar, like the bottom bar used in maps or browser based content. Here's how the map toolbar works with custom images for buttons... UIBarButtonItem* button_1 = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"map_terrain.png"] style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:theViewController action:@selector(showMapType:)]; button_1.style = UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered; [button_1 setTag:2]; [buttons addObject:button_1]; [button_1 release]; So, in your case, you'll want to do the same type of thing for the "left" or "back" button. Be sure the image is in your project, make the bar button item like this one, and off you go :-) Oh, also, make sure you change the "selector" to trigger the proper method. In this sample fo the map, tapping the button triggers "showMapType" but you'll want to trigger "navLeftTap"

Thanks David!! I got it working, all I had to do it change - initWithTitle:backText --to-- initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image_name_here.png"] now it loads. It scaled vertically, but my test image was rather big so it squished it and took up most of the nav bar. I will either choose a smaller image, or try some code-foo to get it to scale automagicly. The more I learn here, the more I am impressed with what you have built here. Thanks!!

Wow. More great tips. My code is starting to look like swiss cheese with all these hacks/mods. This is great stuff here. --The more I learn here, the more I am impressed with what you have built here. Thanks!! Agreed. I still can't fathom how much I've learned in 6 months playing with this stuff. If only I could find time to play with it more.

@ATRAIN53: Don't get too excited, the gang needs you in that high rise! We should catch up again. You've set me a few emails and I've followed along with some of your development progress but for sure we should catch up. Expect a call sometime tomorrow (Friday). Hollar back if I get your email and leave a message ;-)
