How to create templates - mitsol - 04-17-2019
Hi
I am new to codeigniter and i want to create a template for my codeigniter website so that that template appears in in pages in both admin and front side of the website. I read tutorial for simple header and footer view files but that is not enough, i want full examples. If there are any prepared template demo available online then tell me here.
Thanks in avance.

Which version of CodeIgniter are you using?
If it's the latest CI4 - templating is very easy. Take a look at this - https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide/outgoing/view_layouts.html
Step 1 - create your template file - Views/app.php
PHP Code:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Layout</title>
</head>
<body>
<?= $this->renderSection('content') ?>
</body>
</html>
Step 2 - create any page e.g. home page Views/homepage.php
PHP Code:
<?= $this->extend('app') ?> //This is the name of layout file above without ".php"
<?= $this->section('content') ?>
<h1>Hello World! Welcome to my website.</h1>
<?= $this->endSection() ?>Step 3 - In your controller
PHP Code:
public function index()
{
echo view('homepage');
}
Depending upon your are requirements - you can create different types of layouts e.g. publicLayout.php or adminLayout.php
You can also include partials too - check out all options here - https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide/outgoing

The best way is to load views within your views.
Within views/content.php:
<? $this->view('header', array('title'=>'The page title', 'keywords'=>'some keywords', 'etc'=>'...')); ?>
<div id="content">My content here</div>
<? $this->view('footer'); ?>
So in your controller you would do this:
$this->load->view('content', $data);
$data could contain 'title' or 'keywords' and that would be implemented as such in your controller:
$data['title'] = 'title';
$data['keywords' = 'keywords';
And this in your 'content' view:
<? $this->view('header', array('title'=>$title, 'keywords'=>$keywords)); ?>
<div id="content">My content here</div>
<? $this->view('footer'); ?>
This question is worded differently, but nearly identical to this one in substance: CodeIgniter or PHP Equivalent of Rails Partials and Templates

I've created a Layout Library that manages the templates.
