having a fixed view across all controllers in Codeigniter

Question

For loading the views in CodeIgniter, I have to repeat loading the fixed views (header and footer) which is a little annoying to be repeated for every view-related controller.

try this library, it worked for me, when I used it

Answer 2

You can do with library.

Create a new library file called template.php and write a function called load_template. In that function, use above code.

public function load_template($view_file_name,$data_array=array()) {

$ci = &get_instatnce();

$ci->load->view("header");

$ci->load->view($view_file_name,$data_array);

$ci->> load->view("footer");

}

You have to load this library in autoload file in config folder. so you don't want to load in all controller.

You can this function like

$this->template->load_template("index");

If you want to pass date to view file, then you can send via $data_array
