I don’t know, maybe you could do it with a custom cell, a subclass of one of the standard cells? Or if all the settings in the page are from the keychain you could try using the keychain as the settings object.

Is it possible to use mysettings to also allow the user to edit settings stored in they keychain (not in the plist). I would imagine this would be performed with custom actions on some elements?

If you’re adding custom cells or behaviour it is probably easier to create your own view controller. You can always use SettingsViewController as a starting point. The SettingsViewController creates its own SettingsMetadataSource, so in the code above you end up with two SettingsMetadataSource objects that have no impact on each other.

I have been able to bring up the settings and create a custom cell, but, but I don’t understand where to set the delegate so that the framework sends it a customCellWasSelectedAtIndexPath: message. My feeble attempt went something like this:

NSString *plist = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@”Settings” ofType:@”plist”];

SettingsViewController *controller = [[SettingsViewController alloc] initWithConfigFile:plist];

SettingsMetadataSource *mdSource = [[SettingsMetadataSource alloc] initWithConfigFile:plist andSettings:controller.settings];

mdSource.delegate = self;

[self.navigationController setViewControllers:[NSArray arrayWithObject:controller] animated:NO];
[controller release];

The ability to add remove and reorder cells has been added to mySettings. Customising the reorder control is still unsolved though, I guess I just have to live with it.
