Autoloading library methods?

You aren't quite understanding me.

Ok, so for this example the messages are in the admin panel.

Admin_Controller:

Code:

class Admin_Controller extends MY_Controller {

    function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();

        $this->data['message_count'] = count($this->message_m->get_all());
    }

}

That makes the data available to any controller that uses Admin_Controller. So now we make our controllers use it:

Code:

class Blog extends Admin_Controller {

    function index()
    {
        $this->load->views('whatever', $this->data);
    }

}

No change to your views, just how the controllers are called. Add a __autoload() function like the article says and you're good to go.
