Transitioning between pages

1

I’m extremely new, so sorry for if I sound like an idiot.

I’ve used the tabs template and have built out all my tabs. I’m having a heck of a time creating a button or list link that will navigate from the tab it’s on, to another section. It’s almost working, but I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Heres my page: (tab-virtual.html)

<ion-view title="Virtual Sample Kit">
  <ion-content class="has-header padding">
  <a class="button icon icon-right ion-chevron-right" href="#/facts/1">test</a>
     </ion-content>
</ion-view>

Here’s what I put in app.js:

.state('facts', {
url : '/facts/:factsId',
templateUrl : 'templates/facts.html'
})

Then i created a “facts.html” which contains the HTML i want displayed.

When I click the button on the first page above, it takes me to the facts.html page, but the nav bar at the top doesn’t show a back button, and it doesn’t transition left to right. Do I need to create a controller like this?

.controller('FactsController', function($scope) {
})

Then place it in the state? or is that irrelevant. I tried following this http://codepen.io/ionic/pen/odqCz however the HTML looks so different from the template i’m working in. So i’m confused how to apply it to the core tabs template.

Just wondering, your state setup, do you mean to put the url as '/facts/:factsId'?
