wrapper method

Super easy.

PHP Code:

public function method()
{
    echo "in method()\n";
    $this->render();
} 


Or if you don't want method() calling render() directly

PHP Code:

class Example extends MY_Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
         $this->method();
         $this->render();   
    }

    public function method()
    {
        echo "in method()\n";
    }
}
