Problems with share and edit buttons

[nicolo]

I just finished this section https://github.com/thoughtbot/ios-on-rails/blob/master/book/iOS/confirmation_view_controller.md

I don't see the edit or share buttons. I'm not really sure what needs to happen for me to see them. Seems like something is missing.

Is there something I should check is in my code to get these to display?

Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

The missing steps are in these sentences:

• We can then call this method [self createShareButton] inside of viewDidLoad.
• Create a method that adds an edit button to the view, and call the method in viewDidLoad.

Those are definitely too vague. I'm going to go back and revise those to say:

• After you define the method - (void)createShareButton in 'HUMConfirmationViewController.m', you should call it by placing the line [self createShareButton]; inside of the method viewDidLoad.
• After you define the method - (void)createEditButton in 'HUMConfirmationViewController.m', you should call it by placing the line [self createEditButton]; inside of the method viewDidLoad.

I'm also going to include this code snippet:

// HUMConfirmationViewController.m
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    [self createShareButton];
    [self createEditButton];
}

Basically, we need to call the createShareButton and createEditButton methods that we just created for those to be created and added to the view. I'll make that more explicit, and will pull them out into their own code snippet for clarity.

Again, thanks so much for bringing this up so I can make that change!

I looked at the app and had this in my HUMConfirmationViewController.m

• (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad];

  self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCancel target:self action:@selector(cancelButtonPressed)]; self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES; [self createShareButton]; [self createEditeButton]; }

I feel like I'm missing something bigger here. I've never created and event in the iPhone version of the app. I also haven't done anything to implement the "Done" button after clicking add event. What are the steps I need to take so that I can get to this view? https://github.com/thoughtbot/ios-on-rails/blob/master/book/images/ios_app_skeleton_3.png

@dazmuda any thoughts on @nicolo's last question? (wish I could be of more help!)

[dazmuda]

@nicolo I actually decided to nix the confirmation view controller since it's a bit of sugar that isn't necessary for the general iOS-interacting-with-your-rails-api purpose of the book.

You feedback prompted the question "Do we need this section?" so I really appreciate it. I'm going to close this issue.

Re: your comment about making a POST to /events. I've put in a PR https://github.com/thoughtbot/ios-on-rails/pull/92 that has much better instructions for making a POST to /events with fake data and for making a POST to /events with user-inputted data. Thanks for pointing that out.
