In the interests of DRY

You can also just use nested views. That way, you don't need to repeatedly load view from every controller.

1. Just call the main view from your controller:

Code:

// Define a custom subview for this page
$master_view['sub_view'] = 'my_subview';
$this->load->view('master_view', $master_view);

2. In your master view file you can load all subviews that you need:

Code:

$this->load->view('header');
$this->load->view('navbar');

// This is where we will load our custom subview
$this->load->view($my_subview);

$this->load->view('footer');

Make sure to pass all data that your subviews will need in variable $master_view. E.g., if you need to set up a navbar you can do that in the __construct of a special navbar model and store it in $master_view['navbar']. Autolad the model and $master_view['navbar'] will be created automatically for every page.
