Session checking & loading a new view depending on the result

I don't know if I understand your question but if you want the 'sidebar' to be replaced, you can load another view there like this.

sidebar.php

Code:

<div id="sidebar">
You are logged in
<a href="#">logout</a>
</div>

content.php

Code:

<?php $this->load->view('sidebar');?>
<div id="content">
Welcome to the Dashboard
</div>
