Site with different layout structures
#1

[eluser]explores[/eluser]
Hi,
I am new to CI and I am trying to figure out how to setup certain pages to use a different layout, for example some pages will use a one column and others will use a two column structure. Currently I have a layout.php in the libraries folder and its set to read a layout.php in the views folder which works fine but when I try to repeat the process for the other layout I get an error message. I have searched the wiki, forum, guide, and Google but nothing I read seems like the correct solution.

Any help would be great
Thanks

Code:
class Layout_one_column
{
    
    var $obj;
    var $layout;
    
    
    function Layout($layout = "layout_one_column")

I assume function Layout() is intended to be your construct?

Code:
class Layout
{
    ...

    function Layout( ...

Also:

Code:
$this->load->library('Layout','layout_one_column');
$this->layout->view('/port/port_view', $data);

[edit]

Just read that the library is named layout.php, the class name must match the filename.

Thanks, I got it working. I didn't have the naming convention correct.

Thank You very much.
