Getting other data output to view - El Forum - 11-28-2010

I need help here.
If I have a view that has a link in it which points to a controller that when clicked, will use the ID within the link to return the appropriate article from the database, then load a view to display that article,
how do i get the view that is loaded to display the article, to then also display other content on the same page/view?
For instance, i want to use a view as a template which has a logo, banner, menu, footer. Now, each of these items are processed using given functions, for instance the menu would have to be processed by a menu function then it's data passed to the view to be displayed in the menu area. How do i get the menu to be processed and also passed to the same view template that will display the article linked to?

Use a MY_Controller.

So when i extend the controller using MY_Controller, how would it work?
Do i put functions in MY_Controller within the library to display content for other areas?
Where does the template get loaded?
