Header and Footer (Help needed)

[eluser]navetz[/eluser]
I have just started using code igniter and I love it.

I want to know hot to use set a header and footer without having to load it in your controller or view everytime.

Can you set up hooks to do this? If you do can you add variables to the controller to modify the hooks?

Example:

Set up a hook to load your header then do this:

Code:

$data['homeTitle'] = 'page Title';
$this->load->view('Template_page', $data);

However homeTitle is in your header hook and not your view Template_page.

I am new to codeigniter and have never developed anything with it before. Tomorrow will be my first day so please tell me if I am way off in my way of thinking lol.
