Controller inside a view - El Forum - 03-16-2010

Hi, I'm developing some app and I'm trying to use a template-like method, for example, in the left side I'll load all users in my app and I want to do it in a view but that view needs a controller to load everyone, my question is: How can I load a controller in a view? if this is possible, if not how can I do this. Thanks in advance :-)

HMVC allows me to load controllers in my views. For example, in my views/header.php file...
Code:
echo modules::run('pages/navigation/widget', 'header');Controller inside a view - El Forum - 03-16-2010

You have it backwards. Use a controller to get your data, then send it to your view(s).

In CI, you can not call controller directly in view. You need to perform all your actions inside controller and then pass your result to view.
In your current scenario, you need a parser method. See parser help for this. You can parse your left panel and just pass this parsed array to final view.
