Hooks with DB or other solution

I'm also interested in ideas about this, since I'm trying to make a website and will run into this problem very soon. I made my own MVC system once (when I was trying to figure out how this worked) and I decided to simply added all the "generic" parts of the website into the main View (so I could call the methods from all the extended children). Maybe it was a bit ugly, but it worked, heh. Anyway, I guess we can't do that with CI... So how would it be a proper way to do it?

P.S. I'm not Brazillian, but I think it means "thanks" ( 10x -> tenx -> thanks )
