Instructions to get it working in UITableViewController

[magnett]

Hi!
Thanks for this control, truly great work!
In my case, the screenshot you see below is from a UITableViewController. The position of the drawer is wrong and i can not scroll the whole table. I made an experiment and used a UIVIewController and everything worked smoothly.
Is anything special i can do to get it working with a UITableViewController?

Thanks for reporting the problem!
The issue is that the component tries to add the extension view as a subview of associated view controller, which is in your case, a UITableViewController. This means the extension view is being added as a subview of a UITableView, which screws everything up.

I am looking into a better solution now that should help resolve this problem.

Apparently, if you access self.topLayoutGuide on UITableViewController, everything screws up... I don't know why..

Checking in to report this problem as well. Implementing the example setups in a UITableViewController prevents any scrolling expect for elastic/bounce, and doesn't work as intended. No combination of existing controller and tableView seem to work, and I haven't accessed the self.topLayoutGuide property anywhere in my codebase.

[Mazyod]

@insanj The access to topLayoutGuide is made from within the component, and is quite necessary.

@Mazyod Ah, I didn't realize that. My knowledge of the underworkings of UITableViewControllers feels quite barren, now! Excited to use TLYShyNavBar in production once this gets resolved.

[Mazyod]

@insanj Oh, sorry no. I meant used within the TLYShyNavBar component, not UITableViewController. I will hopefully look into this soon, but you can try what another user did, he migrated to a UIViewController, and added the tableView as a subview. If you can't or prefer to use UITableViewController, that's cool, too. I just need some time to look into it. It's unfortunately not straight forward.

[insanj]

@Mazyod Thanks for the clarification. That's actually how I initially structured the view controller in question, but I migrated to using a UITableViewController to utilize refreshControl more conveniently. It might be worth going backwards for the performance and beauty of TLYShyNavBar, though. Thanks for your efforts, either way.

Hi,

@Mazyod , I really like your very nice library and actuallyI am using it now in my current project :)
But there is a problem on pushViewController, the extensionView shows when I push, but it is actually hidden..

I saw your .gif sample, it works well in GIF but in actual implemetation it doesn't, I dont know what I am doing wrong. Can you pls help me master

Any progress on this? Would love to get this working with my UITableViewController as I can't do the recommended approach of adding a UITableView to UIViewController

[Mazyod]

@jodyheavener Personally, I can't justify spending work hours on this project for the time being, since we are not using the component this way. On the side, I can't find time to develop it. Of course, since this is a very demanded feature, I'll do my best to review any PRs on this front ASAP, and give feedback as well as discuss it, if necessary. I'm available on twitter @Mazyod.

Since the repo has a UITableViewController example now, I suppose this issue should be closed. If there are any more specific issues, please reopen or specify the exact issue

So is the only workaround to migrate to a ViewController with a tableview inside of it? This issue only happens to me on iOS 7.1.

Amazing job on the repo though!

I met the same issue right now. Where is the example for UITableViewController?
