How must be used directly form storyboard?

[Ricardo1980]

If I add a barButtonItem in the navigation bar and change its custom class to BBBadgeBarButtonItem and in my code write:
BBBadgeBarButtonItem* chatBarButtonItem=(BBBadgeBarButtonItem*)self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem;
chatBarButtonItem.badgeValue=@"1";
It does not work.
Any help?

Something I haven't quit figured out yet.
It seems there is problem in the view hierarchy.
If you set in the storyboard the BarButtonItem to custom the barButtonItem.customView property stays nill therefore the badge being added as a subview of barButtonItem.customView is not possible. If I force it, the image you set up in the storyboard is overided by the custom view, therefore not appearing while the badge does.
I need to find a way to retrieve the custom view you set up in the storyboard and manually add it as the customView property of the BarButtonItem so the badge can work with it. But I did not get the time and chance to focus on that.

For the moment I can only suggest you do it programmatically. Hope this helps to understand the behaviour.

Thanks for feedback. I will try programatically.

I looked into this now and it seem i am not able to retrieve UIBarButtonItem._view of type UINavigationButton, which could be used instead of the customView, for adding the badge, if used from the storyboard directly.
