Calling multiple header/footer template and setting in route

Hello everyone
I am new to codeigniter and want to use it for a fairly large project. I intend to use two different bootstrap template.
The first one is working but I don't understand why the second is'nt.
below is the controller code

PHP Code:

?php
    class Pages extends CI_Controller{
      public function view($page = 'home'){
        if(!file_exists(APPPATH.'views/pages/'.$page.'.php')){
          show_404();
        }
        $data['title'] = ucfirst($page);
        $this->load->view('templates/header');
        $this->load->view('pages/'.$page, $data);
        $this->load->view('templates/footer');
      }

      public function iview($page = 'volunteers'){
        if(!file_exists(APPPATH.'views/ipages/'.$page.'.php')){
          show_404();
        }
        $data['title'] = ucfirst($page);
        $this->load->view('templates/iheader');
        $this->load->view('ipages/'.$page, $data);
        $this->load->view('templates/ifooter');
      }
    }
 ?>

Below is the change I made in the application/config/routes.php

$route['default_controller'] = 'pages/view';
$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1';
$route['ipages/(:any)'] = 'ipages/iview/$1';
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE;

@ chized
Are you receiving any error messages?

In your second function. The if condition. Should it be checking for 'iviews/ipages/' instead of 'views/ipages/'? There seems to be a discrepancy between the function and the routes.

Try change it:

$route['ipages/(:any)'] = 'ipages/iview/$1';

to it:

$route['ipages/(:any)'] = 'pages/iview/$1';
