Hi, I need help regarding on how to display multiple pages in one page.

Normally in HTML, we use <IFRAME> and specify the path of the certain page you want to display. But how about in CI? Seems the <iframe> is not working within CI (even using base_url() to specify that view page is not working). So, how can I make certain pages display within one page?

Thanks in advance!

you can just use

Code:
$this->load->view('header');

$this->load->view('content');

$this->load->view('footer');

Is this what you were talking about?

Not quite... I already did that and it just stack the view results. I wanted to put every pages in the right layout (putting them within <div>)

Try storing your views into variables that you pass to your views

Code:
$data['div1'] = $this->load->view('mydiv1', '', true);

$data['div2'] = $this->load->view('mydiv2', '', true);

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

then just output your variables in the layout.php view

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;title&gt;My Layout&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

<div id="div1">

&lt;?php echo $div1; ?&gt;

</div>

<div id="div2">

&lt;?php echo $div2; ?&gt;

</div>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

Is that more of what you are looking for?

Hey, it work. :cheese: didn't thought about that... :-P

One more question. What is the difference of having a TRUE?

Code:
$data['div1'] = $this->load->view('mydiv1', '', true);

Thank you very much! ;-)

The TRUE tells it to RETURN the output rather than ECHO the output. That way you can store it in a variable for use later. (EllisLabs thought of everything Wink

)

HINT: if you need to pass variables to the views that you are storing, the second parameter is for that. If you don't, then leave as is.

With data being sent:

Code:
$data['div2'] = $this->load->view('mydiv2', $data_array, true);

WITHOUT data being sent:

Code:
$data['div2'] = $this->load->view('mydiv2', '', true);

You could also just call views from within a primary view:

Code:
<div>

     &lt;?php $this->load->view('this-divs-view');

</div>

To me this is a more readable (less abstract) solution to the problem, but of course, both work.
