Cannot link my table view controller on storyboard to my code

Question

I am writing an app in XCode6. Currently I have "SelectionTableViewController.h" and "SelectionTableViewController.m" such that you could add/remove checkmarks on select. Also, I have a table view controller segue in the storyboard, that is triggered by a static cell in the previous table view controller. I set up the trigger in storyboard so I did not write the code for "prepare for segue" or anything. I want the cell to be checked by default, so I have done the following:

• Changed the view controller to "SelectionTableViewController"
• Set the identifier of prototype cell on my storyboard to "SelectionCell"
• Changed the cell's background color to orange and accessory to checkmark

Below is my SelectionTableViewController.m:

@implementation SelectionTableViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    [self.tableView registerClass:[UITableViewCell class]
           forCellReuseIdentifier:@"SelectionCell"];
}

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    [self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:NO];
    self.navigationItem.title = @"Select";
    [self.tableView reloadData];
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

#pragma mark - Table view data source

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
    // Return the number of sections.
    return [[[MyStore sharedStore] allCategories] count];
}

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    // Return the number of rows in the section.
    NSString *category = [[[MyStore sharedStore] allCategories] objectAtIndex:section];
    return [[[MyStore sharedStore] allNamesForCategory: category] count];
}


- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath(NSIndexPath*)indexPath
{
    UITableViewCell *cell=[tableViewdequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"SelectionCell"forIndexPath:indexPath];

    // Configure the cell...
    NSString *category = [[[MyStore sharedStore] allCategories] objectAtIndex:indexPath.section];
    NSArray *items = [[MyStore sharedStore] allNamesForCategory: category];

    cell.textLabel.text = [items objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

    return cell;
}
#pragma mark - Table view delegate

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    if (cell.accessoryType == UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark) {
        cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
    } else {
        cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
    }
}


- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    return [[[MyStore sharedStore] allCategories] objectAtIndex:section];
}

@end

My program runs on the simulator, and the items listed in the cells are correct. However the cells does not have the default checkmark on the cell before I do a selection. Nor are the cells orange. I know I can set up the default checkmark and the background color in code easily, but I just want to figure out how to do this in the interface builder, as I would be dealing with the UI a lot when the program is set up.

Hope someone can help me on that as I'm kinda new to iOS programming and this is the first time I have ever used Storyboard. Thanks!

I've figured it out myself! I deleted the code that registered "Selection Cell". Then I did some minor changes to the cellForRowAtIndexPath

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath(NSIndexPath*)indexPath
{
    Static NSString *selectionCell = @"SelectionCell"; 
    UITableViewCell *cell=[tableViewdequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:selectionCell forIndexPath:indexPath];

    // Omit...
}
