/*****************ADDED**********************/
I started reading user_guide after I sent this topic.
So I was reading about Views, Models and Controllers and I'm thinking for the future when I will use Template system so I can change Template in Backend. Should I have my templates folder in views folder or make new folder for templates.

Is some way so the controller knows what template he should displaying?

Code:
$this->load->view('templates/blue/tmplfile');

Code:
$template = $thatone //From database

$validtemp = 'template/'.$template.'/tmplfile'; 

$this->load->view($validtemp);

Is it good way if it works?

Another question

Code:
function user($username)

    {

        echo $username;

    }

I know when I write explane.com/users/LaLaLa

Will print out: LaLaLa

Is that way also for getting story from database, like if building memberslists and linking username http://explane.com/user/username ?

Sorry my english.

Hi.

I have template and I'm creating Menus by database.

When I set query on template file, will come up my result.
But I want have it in model/controller so it's more easy later If I will build new template and can just put get_menus(); than hole query code.

Sorry my english, If someone could understand what I'm meaning will it be great get feedback.

--
1. I have template saved as ../views/templates/orginal/index.php
2. I have file saved as ../controller/beta.php It's file calling to my template and show it up on web.com/beta

Code:
&lt;?php

class Beta extends Controller {

    function index()

    {

    $data['page_title'] = 'Chat.is - Beta';

     $data['main_content'] = 'templates/orginal/index';

$this->load->model();

    $this->load->view('templates/orginal/index', $data);

     }

}

?&gt;

Fatal error: Class 'Menus' not found in /home/chatis/public_html/system/libraries/Loader.php on line 184

If I have only $this->load->model('');
will come up:
Fatal error: Class 'MenusModel' not found in /home/chatis/public_html/system/application/views/templates/orginal/index.php on line 33

3. I have model for query from database ../model/menus/menus.php

Code:
&lt;?php 

class MenusModel extends Model {

function MenusModel()

    {

        parent::Model();

    }

    function get_menus()

    {

       $query = $this->db->query("SELECT title FROM menus");

if ($query->num_rows() > 0)

{

   foreach ($query->result() as $row)

   {

      echo $row->title;

   }

  }

 }    

}

?&gt;

4. I'm using autoload for database config.

In my template file are get_menus(); trying to call and get error

Ops, you're doing wrong ;P

Controller

Code:
function index()

{

  //Bla bla bla

  //Now the code

  $this->load->model('MenusModel', 'Menu');

  //If you'll use views, i recommend this way

  $data['menus'] = $this->Menu->get_menus();

  $this->load->view('templates/original/index', $data);

  //But if you won't, just do that

  $this->Menu->get_menus();

}

Model

Code:
function get_menus()

{

  $this->db->select('title');

  //Now, if you'll use views, try this way

  return $this->db->get('menus');

  //Otherwise, you can do like that

  $query = $this->db->get('menus');

  foreach ( $query->result() as $m )

  {

    echo $m->title;

  }

}

View

Code:
&lt;!-- //In case that you use views --&gt;

&lt;?php if ( $menus->num_rows() > 0 ) : ?&gt;

  &lt;?php foreach ( $menus->result() as $m ) : ?&gt;

    The title of menu is: &lt;?php echo $m->title; ?&gt;<br />

  &lt;?php enforeach; ?&gt;

&lt;?php else : ?&gt;

  No donuts for you, muah muah muah

&lt;?php endif; ?&gt;
