Hi everyone,

basically the title explains what it is I'm trying to do....but here's the extra info:

I've extended Controller with the following:

Code:
class Public_Controller extends Controller {

    public $header_js = array();

    public $header_css = array();

    public $data = array();

      function __construct() {

        parent::Controller();

        $this->header_css[] = array('href' => '/media.css', 'media' => 'all', 'compress' => true);

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

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

        $this->load->helper('email');

        if ($this->load_main_content())

        {

            $this->display_top_nav();

            $this->display_top_menu();

            if ($this->user_lib->getUserId() > 0)

            {

                $this->display_homepage();

            }

        }

    }

    private function display_top_nav()

    {

        $this->load->view('top_nav');

    }

    private function display_top_menu()

    {

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

    }

    private function display_homepage()

    {

        if ($this->user_lib->getUserId() == 0)

        {

            $this->header_css[] = array('href' => '/login.css', 'media' => 'all', 'compress' => true);

            $this->load->view('/login');

// I want to exit at this point

        }

    }

Basically, if someone isn't logged in, I want to display the view 'home' and stop everything there. I've also extended Output with MY_Output that deals with page headers and 'skins'. My site uses 'skins', which are basic templates. Here's one for example:

'skin.php'

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;title&gt;&lt;page_title />&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;header_css /&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

<div id="container">

<output />

</div>

&lt;header_js /&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

So, MY_Output deals with:
<page_title /> - set in each Controller with $this->page_title
<header_css /> - set in each Controller with $this->header_css[] (an array of CSS includes)
<output /> - The standard output
<header_js /> - set in each Controller with $this->header_js[] (an array of JS includes)

How can I get CI to load the home view and then stop processing - i.e. just output the view with the relevant headers from MY_Output? If I try $this->output->get_output(), it just returns the standard output (what would replace <output /> in my skin).

Does that make any sense? Wink

Thanks
