Custom Container VC possible? #402

Closed FinnGu closed 9 years ago

FinnGu commented 9 years ago

Hey :)

First of all, thank you so much for creating this awesome library!!

I have integrated your library into a project of mine and everything is working great! Now I was trying to only replace part of the main screen (so that the bottom part would be the same across the entire app). To achieve this, I thought of a custom ContainerViewController and only replacing one of them.

After a couple hours of not getting it to work the way I wanted it, I read that this library only supports a NavigationController as the center view controller.

That would be no problem, but the iOS documentation states that replacing does not work with subclasses of UINavigationController :(

Is there any work-around for this? This is crucial for my app and I would really like to keep MMDrawerController by any means.

Thanks in advance :+1:

Finally figured out, that this is not the best approach and all but necessary for me.

If anyone has similar problems, here is what I did to work around it:

Instead of only replacing the top part of the center view, I now replace the whole view, but have the bottom part added to all views. This comes in handy, since some views might not need the lower part and this gives you the option to include or exclude it for every view separately.
