TTPostController

[Aaron Berk]

I'm having difficultly doing something I'm imagining should be simple,
but I cannot figure it out...

I want to use a TTPostController, but I can't figure out how to
initialize and display it. I have used the a TTPhotoViewController
which essentially is called in the same way as a standard view
controller, but being that the TTPostController is not standard, what
is the code to initialize and display a TTPostController?

Thanks!!

A quick look at TTPostController.h reveals that it is a subclass of
TTPopupViewController. That is probably a good place to start.

The popup view controller acts like pseudo modal view controller and is a clever pattern. The base class is more of a protocol with implementation left to subclasses and display handled by TTNavigator. If you look at the MessageTestController class in TTCatalog, you can see a selector mapping for the post controller in the init method, which in turn calls the post: method and returns a TTPostController instance. TTNavigator then handles the displaying the view overtop the current view controller in it's presentPopupController:parent:animated, which calls showInView:animated implementation on TTPostController.


Cheers,
Dave

Hmmm...maybe got a little further, but still lost a bit. I'll try a
little more tomorrow and post any questions/issues I may run into.

Thanks!

If you're looking to use TTPostController without the use of
TTNavigator you can do something like:

TTPostController *postController = [[TTPostController alloc] init];
postController.delegate = self; // self must implement the
TTPostControllerDelegate protocol
self.popupViewController = postController;
postController.superController = self; // assuming self to be the
current UIViewController
[postController showInView:self.view animated:YES];
[postController release];



And then to grab the text entered by the user with (see the bottom of
TTPostController.h for other methods available):

- (void)postController:(TTPostController *)postController
didPostText:(NSString *)text
withResult:(id)result {
NSLog(@"Text: %@", text);
}


Hope that is helpful,
Travis

Travis,

Thanks SO MUCH from me too. The sample code is VERY helpful.

PS: I updated the keyboard type to number using this:

[postController.textView setKeyboardType:UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad];

Thanks
