自定义UINavigationController中的UIBarButtonItem未显示

Question

On my side menu I call a NavigationController for each item on didSelectRowAtIndexPath.

Because of that I have a few NavigationControllers. So I created a custom UINavigationController to reuse the code.

The thing is that my UINavigationController subclass is being called but nothing appears on the simulator.

[self.sideMenuViewController setContentViewController:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"EventsXib"]];

EventsXib is my CustomNavigationController

Any idea?

For the record, the whole point for me to do this is that I want the same leftBarButtonItem and 2 rightBarButtonItems on all my ViewControllers.

UPDATED:

I noticed that this actually worked:

self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = self.navigationController.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem;
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = self.navigationController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems;

But I still have to do this in every viewController, and thats not what I want.

Here is a general idea of what it looks like:

Answer 1

As @GoGreen suggested, I created a base view controller with the corresponding buttons on the navigationItem.

Its not the simple solution I had in my mind but it works pretty good.
