Hi all,

I was wondering what's the best way to only load {header}, {menu} and {footer} only once throughout the application and just dynamically change the {content} according to the link being clicked?

Thanks in advance

You should have a main router view named /views/index.php with a body like this :

Code:
&lt;body&gt; 

    &lt;header&gt;

        &lt;?php $this->view('include/header')?&gt;

    &lt;/header&gt;

    <aside>

        &lt;?php $this->view('include/menu')?&gt;

    </aside>

    <div id="main"> 

        &lt;?php $this->view($content); ?&gt;

    </div>

    <footer>

        &lt;?php $this->view('include/footer')?&gt;

    </footer>

&lt;/body&gt;

that you call in all of your controllers functions, and you dynamically pass your content template to load into the view :

Code:
$data->content = 'page/content';

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

I've seen al kinds of solutions while googling, but this one definitely seems the best and easiest out there.
Thank you ;-)
