Setting up our View Controllers 

When we set up our structure, we created a View Controller with a label that says Review. This was done just to see the structure, but we removed the button tapping to the review controller. We currently have two buttons on our Restaurant Detail page: Add Photo and Add Review. Both of these buttons need to have View Controllers connected to them. Our Add Photo hooks up to a View Controller where we launch the user's camera and our Add Review hooks up to a static tableview.

  1. Open the Main.storyboard and find the View Controller that has the label Reviews and delete the label.
  2. Select the View Controller, then navigate to Editor | Embed In | Navigation Controller. This View Controller will now be our Photo Filter View Controller.
  3. In the Restaurant Detail View, find the Table View Cell that contains the Add Photo label and button.
