Storyboard Segue with popup button and detailview

Question

I am creating a news app that has title, description, video and details. this is displayed on UIViewCell on TableView, when a user clicks on that particular cell, corresponding news is displayed as shown below

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    NewsViewController *newsdetail = [[NewsViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"NewsDetailView" bundle:nil];
    self.newsdetails = detail;
    [detail release];

    newsdetails.title = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[titleData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
    newsdetails.itemID = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[NewsIds objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];

    [self.navigationController pushViewController:newsdetails animated:YES];

}

The variables (which hold JSON data) are properly defined in NewsViewController and synthesised as follows

NSMutableArray *NewsIds;
NSMutableArray *titleData;
NSMutableArray *descriptionData; etc

enter image description here Now, what I want is to add a video button as shown on the storyboard, so that a user can click it and be able to see details of corresponding video through modal /popup any suggestions or help?

In the Storyboard, just use an Action segue on the UIButton and select modal. Control Drag from the button to the Video Details VC. Give that segue a name, let's say

playVideo

Then inside the prepareForSegue method in your PlayersViewController.m you just add this:

- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
    if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:@"playVideo"]) {
    // set properties on your destinationVieController to pass the data you need
    }
}

Also use unwind segues on the buttons 'Cancel' and 'Done' in your destination VC to return to the previous TVC. Alternatively you could also use dismissViewControllerAnimated: that will be passed to the calling VC.

@user1430825: did I help you? Any other questions? – Juan Catalan Sep 03 '13 at 19:28
Still confused Juan, wish you could give an example – user1430825 Sep 03 '13 at 21:25
Where are you stuck? Tell me what are the problems? I have edited my post to better suit your particular example. – Juan Catalan Sep 03 '13 at 22:19
I got it, It is easier if you transfer the details from uiview cell because you can use indexpath.row for the selected row, however how do i tell the button to show that specific row? e.g. row 1 has news 1, row2 has news 2, row3 has news 3. I want that when a user click a button in row 1, he only gets video for that row, because at the moment, row 1 is giving me video 1, row 2 is giving me video 1 and row 3 is giving me video 1 (same video) – user1430825 Sep 04 '13 at 11:46
Got it finally! for anyone looking for that solution, i found it here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9274494/how-to-know-the-uitableview-row-number – user1430825 Sep 04 '13 at 12:40
Did you use the prepareForSegue? – Juan Catalan Sep 04 '13 at 13:12

you should have a custom table view cell which will be handling actions and data on cell.
