CI Views / Structure question

[eluser]shaffick[/eluser]
I am just wondering how the rest of the community handles the following:

You need to display a banner or a block of content on EVERY page of your site.

Currently, I have the banner code in the __construct part of the controller and assign it to:

Code:

$this->variable = $this->blabla_model->get_banner_info_now_please();

and pass it on to the final view() call in every other controller function. The banner html is in the my_final_template.php

Thoughts or improvement on how to handle this?

Thanks

do it like this and the varaibles will be available in all of your views

Code:

$data['var1'] = $this->blabla_model->get_banner_info_now_please();
$this->load->vars($data);

then in your view it's just:

Code:

<?php echo $var1 ?>
