Hey guys, I need help. I have an app I'm creating and I have a button on a menu that opens the sidebar for Scringo. I found the code on Scringo's site. The problem is I'm using the blank screen plugin for that call. So every time I tap the button that opens the sidebar it loads the blank white screen. I want to know how not to have the screen "actually" load. I want the button to be tap and open the sidebar, but stay on the screen I was on before. Hopefully this made sense. Thanks, Adam

Hi adam it looks like you have done the nitty gritty. It makes perfect sense I'm guessing you have added the line [Scringo opensideBar]; (rough guess not infont of scringo) In the blank screen plugin somewhere i.e. view did appear. What you want to do is is actually alter the button did tap method in the menu plugin you are using with an if statement to open the side bar. There is a tutorial by absentia "How to make a button do anything" it's a bit dated but the gist is there. If you are still struggling I can post something

I'm using the ultimate screen creator plugin. I have no idea what type of code I'm removing or adding. Thanks, Adam

Okay I don't have this plugin but we can go on an adventure together. Like blind mans bluff. OK so as far as I am aware with this excellent plugin, you can add a button or a table. Is this a button or a table? To find the logic we are looking for this line that starts like this [self handleTapToLoadScreen: there will be a few but loo for one that kind of corresponds to what you have created

also in the mean time name your blank screen plugin "scringo" This screen will never show once we are finished just a place holder to fire the side menu

Ok, found that line of code. Here's the screen shot: https://www.ayballapps.com/apps/files/applications/EA1BA05147AA7E96F36552F8E/images/Screen%20Shot%202014-07-31%20at%207.58.05%20AM.png

cool good idea with the screen shot. That may be the line could you take the screen shot so I could see the whole of that method from the -(void) part

Is this better or do I need to go down? https://www.ayballapps.com/apps/files/applications/EA1BA05147AA7E96F36552F8E/images/Screen%20Shot%202014-07-31%20at%208.06.21%20AM.png

That's fantastic are you sure you are tapping an image and not a button

There may be upto 4 of these [self handleTapToLoadScreen:

I'm tapping a button. Sorry about the confusion.

right find where it links to a button and screen shot that possibly something like -(void)buttonClicked:(UIButton*)sender

then screenshot above [self handleTapToLoadScreen:

your going to kill me is it definitely in the table view not a stand alone button

no sign of this or something similar search for UIButton -(void)buttonClicked:(UIButton*)sender If we do it on the wrong type we will be scratching our heads

It is a button

well that is a tableview code you have screen shotted

there must be something like button clicked in the log Chris1 is very good with his log and variable names

ha ha thats more like it let us begin. Have you changed the the blank screen plugin nickname to scringo. Make sure you refresh the app. This will be the foundation of out if statement. also now is the time to import scringo to the top of this .m like you did with the blank screen plugin

Yes I did all that. By the way, I was on the wrong Chris1 plugin before so that's why nothing was found before. Sorry about that.

ha ha great stuff. So it's all added to chris1 now the scringo import. Okay let's do it Underneath NSString *elementButtonScreenId = [self getJsonPropertyValue:thisElement.jsonVars nameOfProperty:@"elementButtonScreenId" defaultValue:@""]; add this if ([elementButtonScreenNickname isEqualToString:@"scringo"]) { [Scringo openSidebar]; }else{ then put the closing curly brace "}" below this [self handleTapToLoadScreen:screenToLoad theMenuItemData:thisElement];

remember this will only work if the blank screen plugins nickname is "scringo"

Getting the same result as before

can you secret shot with the updated code

screen shot

That code is right. add this under [scringo openSidebar]; make sure the app is refreshed the only reason it would by pass would be if the screen nickname wan't scringo.

Figure out the issue. So the screen name was sidebar before and I changed it to scringo, but in the ultimate screen creator it keep it as sidebar. I updated it and it works perfectly. Thank you Kittsy! Thanks for taking the time to figure this out. Sorry about the few mistakes I made lol. Thanks, Adam

That code is right. add this under [scringo openSidebar]; NSLog(@"Yippee"); you should see it pop up in the log if it does

Yippee not bad without Xcode not being in front of me.

That's impressive

It's rather sad really :-(

It is sad for me because I had xcode and couldn't figure it out. Haha. This function is going to help me out a lot. Thanks, Adam

If you use my mosaic plugin you will find 3 custom options. In the Xcode project you just add the line of code such as [scringo openSideBar]; in between the corresponding brackets

Thats pretty slick with the mosaic kittsy. Would that be considered 'code injection'?
