Hi,
I'm pretty new of CI and I'm developing the public part of a CMS based website.
I'm looking for good practices to implement a layout based navigation.
I've created a new controller (in the library folder) called "MY_controller" that extends Controller with a function get($id) that retrieves all common data about the page (title / mainmenu / language / etc...)
In the db every page(with a unique $id) has a layout reference (standard, news, products) that represent what kind of contents needs to be viewed and how.
So, I've create a Controller for every layout in the DB (called News, Products, Standard): they extend "MY_controller".
Now I'm in this situation: to view a standard page i have this url
mysite.com/index.php/standard/get/1
where 1 is the $id of the page.
If I want to call the news section I have to write something like this:
mysite.com/index.php/news/get/5
where 5 is the $id of the news section (not the single news id)
to read a single news i write this:
mysite.com/index.php/news/get/5/readnews/1
in the news controller i thake the uri(4) ad call the corresponding function with parameter 1 (uri(5))
Could that be a good way to structure the logic of the website or there are good pratices that I need to learn? What I've done doesn't seem to me really clear coding...
Thanx

Thank you for the tips, very useful.
However I'm looking for help on structuring the web site logic.
Can the soluntion that I've used be considered a good solution or not?
