Passing data to views called from another view

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding but I think you will want to select the data for your menu in your controller. Then pass it to your view in the $data var. In looking at your original sample code, you would do something like this:

Code:

function page2($page) {
  $data['page_title'] = 'Your title for content 2';

$data['news'] = $this->news_model->get_news($page);

$data['menu'] = $this->some_function_that_returns_menu_data($page);
  
  $this->load->view('container',$data);
}
