Btw there is only one variable for all views - $data. Does is not use more memory? Let's say you make

Code:
$this->data['title'] = 'News Controller'; //set page title for view

this data is only for a header. But you pass it not only to a header view, but also to menu, content and footer views. So it means you use 4 times more memory than you actually need. Or I don't know something?

Edit:
And about the content view - this is always diferent view file. So I am thinking I could pass the main content file name to the _display() function directly. Because othervise the content view file would be something like

Code:
<div class = "main">

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

</div>

and I would have to pass big ammount of data - all the html code for main content.

Edit2: to be more clear I'll show how I modified the library.

Code:
&lt;?php 

class MY_Controller extends Controller{

  var $data_header;

  var $data_main;

  var $data_sidebar;

  var $data_footer;

  public function __construct(){

    parent::__construct();

    //default data

    $this->data_header['meta'] = array(

                0 => '&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /&gt;',

            );

    $this->data_header['javascript'] = '';

    $this->data_header['general'] = $this->Views_model->data_for_header();

    $this->data_header['current_menu'] = 99; //for highlighting

    $this->data_sidebar['general'] = $this->Views_model->data_for_sidebar();

    $this->data_footer['general'] = $this->Views_model->data_for_footer();

  }

  /*

   * pass main section view file

   */

  function display($main_view){

     $this->load->view('header_view', $this->data_header);

     $this->load->view($main_view, $this->data_main);

     $this->load->view('sidebar_view', $this->data_sidebar);

     $this->load->view('footer_view', $this->data_footer);

  }

}
