Layout Engine

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hello.

I'm new in CodeIgniter's world.

I wanna ask for experienced CodeIgniter's users what layout engine they like to use.

Also I wanna ask if I really have to load views for every controller function. For example:

Code:

class Blog extends Controller {

    function index() {
        $this->load->view("header");

        $this->load->view("blog/view_posts");

        $this->load->view("footer");
    }

    function view_post($post_id) {
        $this->load->view("header");

        $this->load->view("blog/view_post", array("post_id" => $post_id));

        $this->load->view("footer");
    }

    function add_post() {
        $this->load->view("header");

        $this->load->view("blog/add_post");

        $this->load->view("footer");
    }

}

There is a better way? What method for loading views do you use for your projects?

Thanks.
