Wel, it is not complicated.

The controller controles things.
The model does the things.
The view is for presentation.
So with that knowlege we can do a step more.

The presentation with alway's the same menu and top, then you can do that like this:
create in the view folder a new foldes named: includes.
So /application/view/includes/

In that folder create a new php file called: template.php
And add some code like this:

Code:

<?php
// load the header
$this->load->view('includes/topmenu');

// load the sidebar
$this->load->view('includes/sidebar');

// load the main_content variabele so we can dynamic call other views
$this->load->view($main_content);

// load the footer
$this->load->view(includes/footer);
    
?>

in the includes/topmenu.php you put the code from your menu.
in the includes/sidebar.php you put the code from your sidebar

$main_content... // later

In the includes/footer.php you put the code from your footer. (something like </bode>&lt;/html&gt

Now we have a variabele to do someting with.

in your controller:

Code:

<?php

class Content extends CI_Controller
{
   public funtion index()
   {

       // add some text
       $data['hello'] = 'Hello Codeigniter';
      // here we create a view with the content what you wanna show.
      $data['main_content'] = 'content';

     // here we call the template and show something.
     $this->load->view('includes/template', $data);
   }
}

Now when you create a content.php in your view folder.

Code:

<h1>&lt;?php echo $hello?;></h1>

And now you should see 'Hello Codeigniter' when you call it from your url.
