loading template only once ?

For me worked very well with new Controller, like:

Create a MY_Controller.php in application/core with this:

PHP Code:

<?php

class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {

function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
}

function template($pagename, $data = null) {
$this->load->view('header', $data);
$this->load->view($pagename, $data);
$this->load->view('footer', $data);
}

} 


And this is it. To work with it, in your controllers use like this:

PHP Code:

....
class MyController extends MY_Controller {

function index() {
$data[""hello"] = "Hello passed trough the template() function with the variable $data in template function";
$this->template("pagename", $data);
}

}

... 


Now you have a template function that load the header and footer everytime and also load the page content and you can pass trough data to show on the header,page content and footer. Hope is usefull.


Have a nice day,
