Hey guys, I haven't been posting much these days - seems like the more apps I get out there, the bigger my update to-do list grows. Anyway, I don't know if anybody noticed, but Scringo just released a new SDK version that allows you to add a comment button to pretty much anything in your app! This was my favorite feature with Socialize so I'm really excited to see that Scringo finally has it. I'm always seeing posts (and getting private messages) asking about adding the Scringo like button to the MacImage Gallery, so I'm just going to make this the official thread for it. This is a super quick tutorial that should make it easy for anybody to add both a like button and a comment button to each image in their MacImage Gallery. A couple requirements: 1. Xcode (this is an iOS tutorial) 2. The most recent version of the Socialize SDK - the comment button feature was introduced in version 2.3.3 3. The MacImage Gallery plugin - http://www.buzztouch.com/plugins/plugin.php?pid=EB6FD85F45591F795E530D0 4. The images in your MacImage Gallery must be hosted somewhere - this tutorial won't work for images that are stored in your project ----- Instructions ------ STEP 1. Paste the following imports in Mac_image_gallery.m - #import <Scringo/ScringoAgent.h> #import <Scringo/ScringoLikeButton.h> #import <Scringo/ScringoCommentButton.h> picture for reference - https://www.dropbox.com/s/u7cddrzvt3ugnof/Screen%20Shot%202013-08-21%20at%203.17.18%20PM.png STEP 2. Find the "-(void)updateNavigation " method in Mac_image_gallery.m (should be around line 800). Then, inside of that method, find the following line of code - BT_item *thisImage = [self.imageList objectAtIndex:currentPageIndex]; Note: You can find this line of code super fast by clicking on the little magnifying glass in Xcode above your folder view. Then, just paste "[self.imageList objectAtIndex:currentPageIndex];" into the search box and hit enter STEP 3. Paste the following block of code directly AFTER the code shown above (in step 2) - NSString *commentPic = [thisImage.jsonVars objectForKey:@"imageURL"]; ScringoCommentButton *myCommentButton = [[ScringoCommentButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(40, 300, 50, 27)]; [myCommentButton updateImageCommentObject:commentPic withTitle:@"Great Image !!"]; UIBarButtonItem *commentButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:myCommentButton]; NSString *likeIt = [thisImage.jsonVars objectForKey:@"imageURL"]; ScringoLikeButton *likeButton = [[ScringoLikeButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(40, 300, 50, 27)]; UIBarButtonItem *likeItButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:likeButton]; [ScringoAgent setScringoActivationButtonType:(SCRINGO_BUTTON4)]; ((UINavigationController*)[appDelegate.rootApp.rootNavController.retain retain ]).navigationBar.topItem.rightBarButtonItems = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:commentButton, likeItButton, nil]; [likeButton updateLikeObject:likeIt type:SCRINGO_APP_LIKE_IMAGE description:@"a pic"]; picture for reference - https://www.dropbox.com/s/xwl0sy63a860tau/Screen%20Shot%202013-08-21%20at%203.16.42%20PM.png That's it! - hopefully this helps some people out Here's a couple screenshots of the final product - https://www.dropbox.com/s/iq71tuuetatnbh5/iOS%20Simulator%20Screen%20shot%20Aug%2021%2C%202013%203.55.30%20PM.png https://www.dropbox.com/s/ichgsv4q48ye34f/iOS%20Simulator%20Screen%20shot%20Aug%2021%2C%202013%203.55.34%20PM.png

SWEET! Thanks! You are the best!

As always, you are the man. Was just emailing the Scringo chaps. Good stuff.

Holy camole. Awesome sauce.

Abseeeeeeeentiaaaa... u da man!

Awesome share! Going to my Codebox!! love that app lol Thanks

Is the code different for tabbed bar layout? I can't get it to work. I'm getting no errors. Thanks, Adam

Thanks guys - happy to help out the BT crew as usual :) @mysps - I never heard of Codebox, but after reading your post I checked it out and had to download it. I have been wanting an app like this and I didn't even know it existed - thanks for mentioning it! @Adam - oops, I always forget about tab layout. Yes the code is a little different - for tab layouts, just replace the code from Step 3 with the following - NSString *commentPic = [thisImage.jsonVars objectForKey:@"imageURL"]; ScringoCommentButton *myCommentButton = [[ScringoCommentButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(40, 300, 50, 27)]; [myCommentButton updateImageCommentObject:commentPic withTitle:@"Great Image !!"]; UIBarButtonItem *commentButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:myCommentButton]; NSString *likeIt = [thisImage.jsonVars objectForKey:@"imageURL"]; ScringoLikeButton *likeButton = [[ScringoLikeButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(40, 300, 50, 27)]; UIBarButtonItem *likeItButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:likeButton]; [ScringoAgent setScringoActivationButtonType:(SCRINGO_BUTTON4)]; ((UINavigationController*)[appDelegate.rootApp.rootTabBarController.viewControllers objectAtIndex: 3]).navigationBar.topItem.rightBarButtonItems = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:commentButton, likeItButton, nil]; [likeButton updateLikeObject:likeIt type:SCRINGO_APP_LIKE_IMAGE description:@"a pic"]; let me know if that works out

yeah! i found it thanks to another post in the forum: http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=07BAC438DE089C1E1CF83F5&currentPage=28 check out those others as well!

Even though we missed meeting him on our recent trip to Alaska, the new profile picture allows a better glance at this seriously talented dude! :-) -- Niraj

@Absentia Thank you it works. I appreciate the help. Thanks, Adam

When I try to implement the code above using Xcode 5, I get the error: 'Use of undeclared identifier 'app.Delegate' for the following: ((UINavigationController*)[appDelegate.rootApp.rootNavController.retain retain ]).navigationBar.topItem.rightBarButtonItems = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:commentButton, likeItButton, nil]; Any ideas?

Does anyone have this working in 3.0 core and that latest Scringo? The button doesn't show up at all in the top nav bar. Could it be of the transparency of the nav bar?

Wierd update... So I have the like button showing up in the Menu Image plugin.. I have no clue why, its so weird. I haven't updated the menu with image plugin at all but the like button shows there :/ Mystery..I'll contact the Scringo gang and report back.

I think I know what the issue probably is. From the issue your describing, it sounds like you have a tab bar layout and you are pointing to the wrong tab index. Find the part of the code where you implement that button that says "objectAtIndex" - the number following that line needs to be the same as the number of the tab that you want it to show it in keep in mind the first tab is 0, so if you have 4 tabs then the fourth tab will be objectAtIndex:3

yep.. thats what it was. i actually looked at that objectatindex but it didnt register. thanks!
