MVC Best Practices

Hi darkhouse, Welcome to CI forums.

You could also use the MY_Controller extension to manage your alerts and then extend your own Controllers from this.

Code:

class MY_Controller extends Controller
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();

        $this->load->library('alerts');

        $this->load->vars($this->alerts->get_alerts());  // extracts alerts into view buffer
    }
}

class Page_Controller extends MY_Controller
{
    public function __construct() {}
}
