display common data accross all pages

Read and digest my previous threads where I mentioned that vars loaded in MY_Controller->__construct() are visible in your views but not visible in your controllers.


Try this:

// one_controller.php

Code:

function whatever()
{
  ...
  ...
  ...
  // copied from MY_Controller.php
  $this->load->model('site_data');
  $view_data['categories'] = $this->site_data->get_categories();

  // your code to modify $view_data
  $view_data['test_001'] = 'this is a test to see if it works';
  $this->load->vars($view_data);

  $data['page_title'] = 'Title goes here';

  $this->load->view('view', $data, FALSE);
}
