noctrum is right, you can't use the global CI object in your pre-controller hook since it doesn't exist, which I didn't think of. I guess you could probably create some hack that appends the header to the output class, but to be honest I doubt there will be any good way.

Since you will have to load your main view in each controller method anyway, why not create a template view that includes both the header and footer and pass the main view to that template?

Code:
// controller method

$this->load->view('template', array('partial_view' => $this->load->view('my_view', '', true);

// template.php

&lt;html&gt;

&lt;!-- more header code.. --&gt;

&lt;?=$my_view?&gt;

&lt;!-- footer code.. --&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

Or you could just pass the name of the view to the template, and let it load the partial view itself. Does this seem like a good solution to you?
