Application structure question

[quote author="beemr" date="1216818578"]Have your library's methods return views, and you will keep the impact on your controllers down to one or two lines.

Code:

$this->load->view('header');
$this->load->my_library;
$this->my_library->user_status();
$this->load->view('footer');

[/quote]

Beating a dead horse here. That code could also be in the view, with a couple minor mods:

Code:

<?php $this->load->view('header'); ?>
<?=module('my_library','user_status');>
<?php $this->load->view('footer'); ?>

Where the module() method is a helper that just loads libraries and calls methods. That's HMVC if you think of the library as "controller-like" interface between a view partial and (optionally) models.
