Adding multiple custom bar buttons to custom nav bar

Question

I need to add two bar button items to each end of my custom navigation bar in Swift. I\'m using the following method, and although I get no errors, nothing at all is ap

This code works for me:

@IBOutlet weak var navBar: UINavigationBar!
@IBOutlet weak var navBarItem: UINavigationItem!

func displayTextInNavBar(text: String) {

    let labelWidth: CGFloat = navBar.frame.width / 6
    let frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: labelWidth, height: navBar.frame.height)
    let label = UILabel(frame: frame)

    label.textAlignment = .Right
    label.textColor = UIColor(red: 0/255, green: 127/255, blue: 0/255, alpha: 1)
    label.font = UIFont(name: "Bradley Hand", size: 20)
    label.text = text

    let navBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(customView: label)
    navBarItem.rightBarButtonItem = navBarButtonItem
}

The above puts a label on the right side of the navBar. If you want an actual button that is clickable, do this instead:

let navBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: text, style: .Plain, target: self, action: nil)

If you want that button to actually do something when clicked, then instead of nil specify some function.
