cellForRowAtIndexPath not being called, but rowsInSections is and it's delegate is set
- by Jhorra
I searched around prior to posting this and made sure I hadn't missed anything obvious, though I have a feeling I am missing something basic.
I'm using this as a sidebar navigation view.  I tried making them static cells and pre-populating them, but they were blank that way as well.  When I do it this way I can see everything gets called except that.  I've tried deleting it and re-adding it.
