Quote:So basically what I’m trying to make is a page handler that is called at the end of a function when I want to display a page instead of $this->load->view(‘blah’);

Lots of ways to do this. You can nest views, so you could create a template view:

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;?php $this->load->view('general/header'); ?&gt;

&lt;?php $this->load->view($content); ?&gt;

&lt;?php $this->load->view('general/footer'); ?&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

And then all you would need to do is define a content variable that references another view:

Code:
$data['title'] = 'My great Title';

$data['animal'] = 'Pelican';

$data['content'] = 'earth/fauna';

$this->load->view('general/template', $data);

The data variables are automagically available to all nested views.

You could take it a step further and create a library that does that logic for you, So it might have a function like this:

Code:
function render($content, $data)

{

    $data['content'] = $content;

    $this->CI->load->view('general/template', $data);

}

// Used as above, but instead of data['content']

// you pass the name of the view

$this->libraryname->render('earth/fauna', $data);

Hope I understood the question correctly Wink
