Subclassing UISearchDisplayController For Abstraction

Image
By User



I have multiple UIViewController that have table views. I want these VCs to just handle UI stuff as they will all search the same database. I want to subclass UISearchDisplayController so I can have this subclass handle all the data and search stuff.





The VC I am working with is a UIViewController with a UITableView and a UISearchDisplayController . I have it set and can check to display the initial, or the searched data into the table view by using if/else statements like: if (tableView == self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView) % else...





I want this custom subclass that I'm creating to handle the code that is executed in the self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView statement so I can have some abstraction and can use this custom class with other VCs.





Any ideas on how to continue with this? I think I need to override some methods in the UISearchDisplayController .





EDIT:





Actually I may be coming into this wrong. I have it stepup the way I like right now, but there is no abstraction, so I can't really reuse this code in other parts of the app. My IB is setup like this: enter image description here

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
