[quote author="Tpojka" date="1390213360"]Opencart code can't help you much if you don't understand CI code yet.
You have to start from point that works and that is cide from first post.
Than you need to rationalize your code as well.
Other way is to write some class/library from scratch.
If all view files are in same folder, you can make variables that include each file.
Controller:

Code:

~~
$this->children['header'] = include('header.tpl');
$this->children['left_column'] = include('left_column.tpl');

$this->load->view('home.tpl', $this->children);
~~

View - home.tpl:

Code:

<?php $header; ?>
<?php $left_column; ?>

But I would suggest you the way you already know and when you are finish, than you retionalize or change this finesses.

I am looking again at this. You already have working code.
For that you want in first post, you will need to write your own version of template library, I think.[/quote]

Ok will keep playing around with the code see what happens.
