  {
   $data['main_content'] = 'home';
  }
  else
  {
   $data['main_content'] = 'members_area';
  }
  
  // Grabbing all the files associated with the current user
  $this->load->model("upload_model");
  $q = $this->upload_model->get_files();
  $data['test_var'] = 'Test'; // Trying to use this variable in the views file
