Discussion of [UINavigationBar pushNavigationItem]
Pushing a navigation item displays the item’s title in the center on the navigation bar. The previous top navigation item (if it exists) is displayed as a back button on the left side of the navigation bar. If the new top item has a left custom view, it is displayed instead of the back button.

UINavigationBar pushNavigationItem example.

On your navigationbar reference you could invoke the two methods:

- (void)pushNavigationItem:(UINavigationItem *)item animated:(BOOL)animated
- (UINavigationItem *)popNavigationItemAnimated:(BOOL)animated
In your custom view controller class write something like this:

self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = yourButton;
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = yourSecondButton;
So you could write something like this:

[myNavBarReference pushNavigationItem:self.navigationItem animated:NO];

Example of [UINavigationBar pushNavigationItem].

UINavigationItem *item = [[[UINavigationItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Login"] autorelease];
[yourNavigationBar pushNavigationItem:item animated:NO];
