Xcode AMSlideMenu Opening Left menu only with a button, disabling swipe

This might sound like a weird request but I've been using the AMSlideMenu (which is fantastic) https://github.com/SocialObjects-Software/AMSlideMenu

But on one of my specific projects I need to be able to open the left side menu only using a button.

Now I have a button that's currently working to open and close the menu, but for this specific project I need to use swipe gestures, so I would need to disable accessing the menu via swipes.

I've been looking at the methods that are within the AMSlideMenu files, but I can't figure out how to disable the swiping.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Solution

If you've read the documentation in the link, you could notice they stated that you have to import "UIViewController+AMSlideMenu.h" on your pushed view controller and then call [self disableSlidePanGestureForLeftMenu]; on your viewDidLoad method (or wherever you want). I've tried it with the example they've provided and it works.

Update:
For iOS 8+ you should call this method on viewWillAppear and not viewDidLoad as mentioned here.
