This code has reportedly worked here and here, but I can\'t seem to make it work.

Answer 1

Not sure why you need a custom UITableViewCell class if you are using storyboard with a prototype cell. You can just drop your labels and textviews into the cell and work with them.

If you are working from a xib then I get it, but you only need:

class commentCell: UITableViewCell {
    @IBOutlet weak var authorLabel: UILabel!
    @IBOutlet weak var commentLabel: UITextView!

}

You would then register the xib in the TableView class with:

override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        self.tableView.registerNib(UINib(nibName: "commentCell", bundle: nil),
            forCellReuseIdentifier: "reuseIdentifier")
    }

Regarding the cellForRowAtIndexPath function, the syntax is now a little modified:

func tableView(tableView: UITableView!, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) -> UITableViewCell! {

 var cell = self.tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("prototypeCell") as commentCell



        return cell
    }

If you want to post to github, we can help make modifications. It's hard to be specific without seeing more of the code.
