How to pass variable from model to controller and define in the view? - El Forum - 05-24-2011

Hello Every one

I've dealing with this for a while, I hope you can put me on the right track, I need to show some data from DB on different menus according with the "placeholder" field in the "cms_section" table, here is the code so far:

model:

Code:
function show_item_placeholder($placeholder)

    {

        $this->db->select('name');

        $this->db->select('url_section');

        $this->db->where('placeholder',$placeholder);

        $query = $this->db->get('cms_section');

        return $query->result();

     }

Controller:

Code:
function index($placeholder)

    {

        $data['section_content'] = $this->section_content_model->get_section_content();

        $data['item_placeholder'] = $this->item_placeholder_model->show_item_placeholder($placeholder);

        $partials = array('top_logo'=>'view_top_logo','top_menu'=>'view_top_menu', 'left_menu'=>'view_left_menu');

        $this->template->load('master_home', $partials, $data);

       }

and the view: "top_menu.php"

Code:
$placeholder = '1';

foreach ($item_placeholder as $row1): 

echo anchor('home/section/'.$row1->url_section, $row1->name, array('class'=>'menuh1'))

endforeach;

Any ideas would be highly appreciated, thanks!

well I`ve decided to go like this:

controller:

Code:
function placeholder($placeholder){

    $placeholder = array();

    $placeholder['1'] = $this->item_placeholder_model->get_item_placeholder('1');

        $placeholder['2'] = $this->item_placeholder_model->get_item_placeholder('2');

        $placeholder['3'] = $this->item_placeholder_model->get_item_placeholder('3');

        return $placeholder;

    }

view:

Code:
&lt;?echo anchor('home/', 'Inicio', array('class'=>'menuh1')) ?&gt;

 &lt;?php foreach ($placeholder['1'] as $row1): ?&gt;

 &lt;?echo anchor('home/section/'.$row1->url_section, $row1->name, array('class'=>'menuh1')) ?&gt;

 &lt;?php endforeach; ?&gt; 

  &lt;?echo anchor('contact/', 'Cont&aacute;ctenos', array('class'=>'menuh1')) ?&gt;
