Afternoon

Is it possible to have a submenu on the iPad Split View example.

For example, If I had a book with 2 Chapters, each with 40 pages, rather than showing 80 rows, I would show 2 - one called Chapter 1 and the other called Chapter 2, then when you click on the Chapter, it would take you there, then there would be 40 rows to review.

How are you implementing your books and chapters? (eg. Core Data entities or normal objects?) Also, I am not sure I completely understand what you mean by a "sub menu".

Hi Tarek

Still not sure about which way I am doing it - core data or normal objects as I still dont know which is the better or more advantageous.

What I mean by a sub menu is as follows:

At the moment, there is a rootviewcontroller that provide you with a row listing.

If I have 40 pages, the only way I can see listing them is all 40 together - but 20 belong to one chapter and the other 20 belong to the other chapter.

What I want is the first list or rows to show Chapter 1 and Chapter 2, then when I click on Chapter 1, it takes me to another rootviewcontroller that shows the pages.

I was also thinking could this be done with sections on the rootviewcontroller ? which have a click down option ?

Hi Iain,

The reason I am asking if you're using Core Data is that you'll be able have STV do what you want almost automatically by using a Core Data feature called "relationships", where there will be a one to many relationship between book & chapters, and between chapter and pages. I would almost certainly recommend that you use Core Data. Please check out the books from my previous post.
