Template Codeigniter

I use a [url="http://getsparks.org/packages/template/versions/HEAD/show"]template library[/url] for generating the views. Yes, you are correct, you need to break your template into parts. On the parts of the template that will be on every page (header/footer + structure), keeps those in a view. Add in the variables for the content blocks/partials that will fill the template.

In your controller you would set the content for the variables in your template, then load the view of your template.
