New to CI (be kind)

Perfect! Problem one solved

I have only heen at this CI stuff since yesterday morning (and I had to attend my first sons wedding yesterday :grrr: ) but I have been able to build quite a bit so far.

I've already re-arranged the site structure to get all of the CI stuff out of my web root, and built static header and footer files.
I connected to an exiating database and am drawing all of my pages from the "pages" table, but unfortunately they are all being displayed at once. I've been trying to understand models so that I can write my own sql statements but am lost. I am new to MVC and have always used flat file structure...

Now onto my other issue... How would I make a common navigational item that draws its items from a database?
