accessing sessions in MY_loader.php - El Forum - 08-21-2009

I'm extending my loader so that I can add some extra stuff into the view() function for my templates. Basically I have a sidebar that's updated and changed depending on what controller you're viewing, and if you're logged in or not as well as setting variables that display private messages/logout links.
How can I access the sessions from within the loader? I have sessions in the autoload config. Here is my code
Code:
class MY_Loader extends CI_Loader
{
function view($view, $vars = array(), $return = FALSE)
{
if ($this->session->userdata('islogged'))
{
$vars['user_data'] = 'Works';
} else {
$vars['user_data'] = 'Fails';
}
parent::view($view, $vars, $return);
}
}The error it returns:
Quote:A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined property: MY_Loader::$session
Filename: libraries/MY_Loader.php
Line Number: 11
Fatal error: Call to a member function userdata() on a non-object in C:\wamp\www\system\application\libraries\MY_Loader.php on line 11

You need access to the CI superobject (see user guide)
Code:
class MY_Loader extends CI_Loader
{
function view($view, $vars = array(), $return = FALSE)
{
$CI =& get_instance();
if ($CI->session->userdata('islogged'))
{
$vars['user_data'] = 'Works';
} else {
$vars['user_data'] = 'Fails';
}
parent::view($view, $vars, $return);
}

Aahh thank you very much. I was looking in the wrong area of the user guide.
