How to make it available in every function? - El Forum - 03-02-2012

Hi,
i have a model that retrieves data from a database and was returned to a variable in the controller then will be displayed in view.
my problem is, in every function within the controller i always have to call that model. is there a way that will do this in default without calling the model on each of the functions within the controller?
here is a sample code:
Code:
class Base extends CI_Controller{
public function welcome(){
$data['get_latest'] = $this->log_templates->get_latest_log();
(other codes here...)
$this->load->view('template',$data);
}
public function marketting(){
$data['get_latest'] = $this->log_templates->get_latest_log();
(other codes here...)
$this->load->view('template',$data);
}
public function documentation(){
$data['get_latest'] = $this->log_templates->get_latest_log();
(other codes here...)
$this->load->view('template',$data);
}

I tried that already but it doesn't work.
when i load my default page it displays, undefined variable get_latest.
here is the code with the construct
Code:
class Base extends CI_Controller{
public function __construct(){
parent:: __construct();
$this->do_this();
}
public function do_this(){
$data['get_latest'] = $this->log_templates->get_latest_log(); // gets the latest log
}
public function welcome(){
(other codes here...)
$this->load->view('template',$data);
}
public function marketting(){
$data['get_latest'] = $this->log_templates->get_latest_log();
(other codes here...)
$this->load->view('template',$data);
}
public function documentation(){
$data['get_latest'] = $this->log_templates->get_latest_log();
(other codes here...)
$this->load->view('template',$data);
}

try this,
Code:
class Base extends CI_Controller{
public $data = array();
public function __construct(){
parent:: __construct();
$this->data = $this->log_templates->get_latest_log();
}
public function welcome(){
(other codes here...)
$this->load->view('template',$this->data);
}
public function marketting(){
(other codes here...)
$this->load->view('template',$this->data);
}
public function documentation(){
(other codes here...)
$this->load->view('template',$this->data);
}
