How to insert view into another view?

so for example a controller that shows blog pages
in your controller constructor  - define the folder your blog view files are in
and the template name

PHP Code:

// the folder your content files are in 
$this->templatefolder = 'blog' ;
// the template name
$this->view_template = 'blog_template' ; 


in a method when you are ready to call some views

PHP Code:

$data['content01'] = 'search_articles';
$data['content02'] = 'main_article';
$data['content03'] = 'suggested_articles';
$this->load->view( $this->view_template, $data ); 


the template itself
views/blog_template.php

PHP Code:

// opening html etc that is generic to website
$this->load->view('tmpl_open');

// top nav bar that is generic to website 
$this->load->view('tmpl_header');

// this is optional but IF the template folder is not set 
// we have a default folder called 'pages' to look in for the content views 

// but in this example the folder is set to be 'blog' 
// so the blog view files will be in application/views/blog/search_articles.php etc etc
if( isset($this->templatefolder)){

$templatefolder = $this->templatefolder . '/' ;  }

else { $templatefolder = 'pages/'; }

// header that is specific for the content 
$this->load->view($templatefolder . 'header');

// so in this specific example its going to load 3 view files, but this part is completely flexible 
if(isset($content01))
$this->load->view($templatefolder.$content01);

if(isset($content02))
$this->load->view($templatefolder.$content02);

if(isset($content03))
$this->load->view($templatefolder.$content03);

if(isset($content04))
$this->load->view($templatefolder.$content04);

if(isset($content05))
$this->load->view($templatefolder.$content05);

if(isset($content06))
$this->load->view($templatefolder.$content06);

if(isset($content07))
$this->load->view($templatefolder.$content07);

if(isset($content08))
$this->load->view($templatefolder.$content08);

// example of an optional file that you can uncomment for testing 
// $this->load->view('objecttesting');

// bottom nav bar generic to website
$this->load->view('tmpl_footer');

// closing html etc generic to website
$this->load->view('tmpl_close');
