TTTAttributedLabel link detection not working using Storyboard

Question

I am trying to integrate TTTAttributedLabel into a UITableViewCell. It's really just a simple integration and all I wanted to was to substitute the old UILabel with TTTAttributedLabel. Here's what I did.

1. Go to Storyboard and select the UILabel inside custom UITableViewCell and change its class to TTTAttributedLabel

2. Come back to the UITableViewController subclass, include TTTAttributedLabel.h, and modify (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath like this:

   static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Post";
   UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
   if(cell == nil)
       cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault
                                     reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
   
   TTTAttributedLabel *label = (TTTAttributedLabel *)[cell viewWithTag:801];
   label.text = [self.post valueForKey:@"content"];
   label.enabledTextCheckingTypes = NSTextCheckingTypeLink;
   label.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
   label.delegate = self;
   return cell;
   

But the link detection is not working. It's just plain text. How can I debug what I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

I think you need to set your text after enabledTextCheckingTypes = NSTextCheckingTypeLink

label.enabledTextCheckingTypes = NSTextCheckingTypeLink;
label.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
label.delegate = self;
label.text = [self.post valueForKey:@"content"];
