The easiest way to setup a single-page template and load a view into that template is to echo a variable in the template and set that variable to the result of loading the view (making sure to pass true as the third parameter of $this->load->view() so it will return the data instead of staging it for output).

For example, using a template view:

PHP Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Example</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div class='content'>
        <?php echo $contentView; ?>
    </div>
</body>
</html> 

Then the controller would do something like this:

PHP Code:
$data['contentView'] = $this->load->view('contentView', $contentData, true);
$this->load->view('template', $data);
