[split] Best way to load unique header and footer for each page? - digitalprem - 11-15-2018
hello everyone. I want to create SEO plugin in codeigniter same as Yoast plugin for wordpress. But problem is how to create different header for every page for website more than 300+ pages. Is it possible that I would assign a unique id and than create custom header for every pages.

As you've probably considered, it's easy to provide dynamically determined values to the header.
Controller
PHP Code:
$data['page_title'] = $title;
$data["description_meta"] = $meta_desc;
$data["keywords_meta"] = $meta_keys;
$this->load
->view('header', $data)
->view("main_content")
->view("footer");
The view file header.php
PHP Code:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title><?= $page_title; ?></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="keywords" content="<?= $keywords_meta; ?>">
<meta name="description" content="<?= $description_meta; ?>">
<!--all the other head stuff needed or desired-->
</head>
<body>
The hard part is determining what values to assign to $title, $meta_desc and $meta_keys.
I assume that's the question you're really asking.
The answer depends on several factors:
- How exactly the website produces pages?
- How dynamic is page content?
- How dynamic are page URLs?
- How dynamic is page content?
- How explicit do you want to be with metadata?
Care to tell us about all that?
