Stuck at the second hurdle

[eluser]soup7[/eluser]
i did not see your 'extends' portion of your pages.php file you pasted...

the pages.php file (in your controller dir.) should be... (all of this

<?php

class Pages extends CI_Controller {

public function view($page = 'home')
{
if ( ! file_exists('application/views/pages/'.$page.'.php'))
{
// Whoops, we don't have a page for that!
show_404();
}

$data['title'] = ucfirst($page); // Capitalize the first letter

$this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
$this->load->view('pages/'.$page, $data);
$this->load->view('templates/footer', $data);
}
}
?>
