Hi Smalter,

The way I understand MVC is that the Controller's job is to gather data and to distribute the data to the views.

Can you try this approach to your existing code then edit __header.php, __content.php and __footer.php separately.

// Shop: Main Controller

Code:
class Shop extends Controller {

  function shop {

    parent::Controller();

    // Load somes library, plugins or helper

    $this->load->helper('blabla');

    $this->load->library('blabla');

    $this->load->model('my_model');

  }

  function index() {

    $data['htmltitle']    = 'This is my shop!';

    $data['list_item']    = $this->my_model->lastentries();

    $data['header']       = $this->load->view('__header',             $data, TRUE) ;

    $data['content']      = $this->load->view('__content_of_my_page', $data, TRUE);

    $data['footer']       = $this->load->view('__footer',             $data, TRUE);

    $output = $this->load->view('homepage',                           $data, TRUE);

    echo $output;

  }

}

 

// Homepage.php: Main view

Code:
&lt;?= $header ?&gt;

  &lt;body style='background:#000 none; color:#fff'&gt;

     <div style='background:#ff0 none; color:#f00; width:80%; margin:2em auto'>

       &lt;?=$content ?&gt; 

       &lt;?=$footer ?&gt;

    </div>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

 

__header.php

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

&lt;html lang="en-GB"&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

  &lt;title&gt;&lt;?= isset($debug) ? $debug : $htmltitle ?&gt;&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

 

__content.php

Code:
<h1>Content goes here</h1>

<pre>

 &lt;?= print_r($data) ?&gt;

</pre>

 

__footer.php

Code:
<h1>Footer goes here</h1>

<pre>

 &lt;?= print_r($data) ?&gt;

</pre>

Cheers,
