Hi Tarek,

I am working on an iPad app and I want the user to be able to select a team from a CoreData table. And if the team is not there, the ability to create one on the fly quickly. I use a SCPropertyTypeObjectSelection which works OK until I add the allowAddingItems.

The navigationBar of the popup displays just a single "Edit" button. The "Cancel" and "Done" buttons have disappear giving the user no way of selecting/cancelling the action.

What did I do wrong?

SCPropertyDefinition *oppPropertyDef = [matchDef propertyDefinitionWithName:@"Opposition"];
	oppPropertyDef.type = SCPropertyTypeObjectSelection;

	SCObjectSelectionAttributes *oppPropertyDefAttributes = [SCObjectSelectionAttributes 
								 attributesWithItemsEntityClassDefinition:teamDef 
								 allowMultipleSelection:NO
								 allowNoSelection:NO];
	oppPropertyDefAttributes.allowAddingItems = YES;
	oppPropertyDefAttributes.placeholderuiElement = [SCTableViewCell cellWithText:@"(No opposition selected)"];
	oppPropertyDefAttributes.addNewObjectuiElement = [SCTableViewCell cellWithText:@"Add new team"];
	oppPropertyDef.attributes = oppPropertyDefAttributes;

Hi, while you wait for Tarek, this works for me:

// CLASS DEFINITION - TYPE ENTITY
	
	SCClassDefinition *typeDef = [SCClassDefinition definitionWithEntityName:@"TypeEntity" withManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext withPropertyNames:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"name", nil]];
	typeDef.orderAttributeName = @"order";
	typeDef.uiElementDelegate = self;



// PROPERTY DEFINITION = TYPE
	
	SCPropertyDefinition *typePropertyDef = [mainDef propertyDefinitionWithName:@"type"];
	typePropertyDef.type = SCPropertyTypeObjectSelection;
	typePropertyDef.title = @"Types";
	SCObjectSelectionAttributes *typeAttributes = [SCObjectSelectionAttributes 
									 
									 attributesWithItemsEntityClassDefinition:typeDef 
									 allowMultipleSelection:YES allowNoSelection:YES];
	typeAttributes.allowAddingItems = YES;
	typeAttributes.allowDeletingItems = YES;
	typeAttributes.allowMovingItems = YES;
	typeAttributes.allowEditingItems = YES;
	typeAttributes.placeholderuiElement = [SCTableViewCell cellWithText:@"Add type ...."];
	typeAttributes.addNewObjectuiElement = [SCTableViewCell cellWithText:@"Add types"];
	//typePropertyDef.attributes = [SCTextFieldAttributes attributesWithPlaceholder:@"Enter Type"];
	typePropertyDef.attributes = typeAttributes;

hope this helps

David

Thanks David but it gave me just the Edit button.

Any advice please Tarek?

Hi Chau,

Did you follow here our "Core Data App" sample where you could select and create a 'Category' on the fly? Does your app generate the same interface?

[CHAU LE]

Hi Tarek,

My app is an iPad only app.

I attached the screenshots of the popup one with allowAddingItems = YES and the other with allowAddingItems = NO.

Hope you can help me.

Many thanks

Any idea Tarek?

Hi Chau,

So if I correctly understand, all you need is an extra 'Close' button on the navigation bar? Is that correct?

[CHAU LE]

Hi Tarek,

It would be nice to have a Done button and a Cancel button along with the Edit button.

Also, is there any way to display the Add row at the top of the list rather than at the bottom of the list?

Cheers

Hi Chau,

You can actually add any buttons you need in the detailViewWillAppear method:

- (void)tableViewModel:(SCTableViewModel *)tableViewModel detailViewWillAppearForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath withDetailTableViewModel:(SCTableViewModel *)detailTableViewModel
{
  // Add your buttons here to detailTableViewModel.viewController.navigationItem
}

In your custom button selectors, you should call the detail view's dismissWithCancelValue:doneValue:, giving the appropriate values when cancel and when done is tapped.

Also, is there any way to display the Add row at the top of the list rather than at the bottom of the list?

This is only possible in our upcoming STV 3.0. If you wish, you can add an additional section to detailTableViewModel and place a single cell in it. When the cell is tapped, call the SCArrayOfObjectsSection dispachAddNewItemEvent method.

Tarek,

These windows are not detail views. They are popup windows generated when I tap on a SCPropertyTypeObjectSelection field on a detail view.

Hi Chau,

So these popups are not automatically presented by STV? Would you please post some relevant code? Thanks!

Yes Tarek, the popups are STV's. I set

objectsSection.detailViewModalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet
