Present modal view controller from different view? ModalViewController being hidden by other views

How can I present a modalViewController from a different view controller?

I am currently displaying my modal view like this:

[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];

But, I want to 

[OtherViewController presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];

Because part of it is being hidden by another viewController that is above it and manages the "self" view.

Well it should work, but maybe you are in a corner case.

Try adding a static method to your delegate like:

+ (void)presentModalViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController;

Where you do something like

[parentViewController presentModalViewController:viewController animated:YES];

And use it to present the modal view directly from the parent VC.

Anyway, if you still have a problem, give us some code :-) or your app archi.

It simply does not work b/c there is now such class method declared in a UIViewController class.

You are trying to call (note the + sign in front):

+ (void)presentModalViewController:(UIViewController *)modalViewController animated:(BOOL)animated

UIViewController class only provides implementation for an instance method (note the - sign in front):

- (void)presentModalViewController:(UIViewController *)modalViewController animated:(BOOL)animated

What should this tell you?

It tells you that you need to have a link to a live OtherViewController object to be able to invoke presentModalViewController on it, otherwise there is no View hierarchy the compiler can comply with.
