Modal View issue with tab bar controller

Question

I have a tab bar controller and when loading the tab bar controller what I want to do is to load a registration page. Here is my code for this.

    RegistrationScreen *registrationScreen = [[RegistrationScreen alloc] initWithNibName:@"RegistrationScreen" bundle:nil];
    [self.tabBarController presentModalViewController:registrationScreen animated:FALSE];       
    [registrationScreen release];

This works fine. But in my registration page i have a another view which is a read me. I need to load this as another modal view once you click a link in the registration page. However this not triggered. What am I doing wrong here? What should I do to load multiple views on top of tab bar controller?

Thank you

You should really quote the code that is not working if you want to know what you are doing wrong. — Till

Since RegistrationScreen is a modal view controller, it shouldn't have self.tabBarController or self.navigationController. You can check yourself with NSLog or similar.

It should have self.parentViewController.

inside RegistrationScreen.m try:

[self.parentViewController.tabBarController presentModalViewController:xxxx]

or

[self presentModalViewController:xxxx]

depending on how your flow works.
