Hello,

i have a question. I use to the Session on every Page to check if it is an user.

Code:
$data['session'] = $this->session->userdata('logged_in');

Do i need to insert it on every page? Or ist there a workaround?

no need to set that in a $data array to access that in the view, you can call the session anytime, anywhere.

Example for a view file

Code:
&lt;? if ($this->session->userdata('logged_in') === true) : ?&gt;

   User is logged in.

&lt;? else : ?&gt;

   User is not logged in.

&lt;? endif ?&gt;

Check/assign your session variable in your "MY_Controller" and use:

Code:
$this->load->vars()

It will then be available in every view.

If you don't have a "MY_Controller" yet, simply research it on google, there are heaps of blog posts, threads on here and stackoverflow about this subject.
