@
PaulD Did a lot of reading yesterday. Can't understand why something as conceptually as simple as a template for a view can be so obscure in the CI context. Anyway, this AM I tried to just copy/past code from your posts, adapted to my environment. My home controller looks like this now:
PHP Code:
<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
class C_home extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->load->model('M_tunes');
$this->load->model('M_filters');
$this->load->model('M_links');
$this->load->helper('url');
}
public function index() {
// basic layout data - just example of setting some data
$this->template_library->set_page_data('meta_title', 'mz_Library');
$this->template_library->set_page_data('page_title', 'MZ Library');
// dynamic data collection
$this->template_library->set_page_data('template', $this->load->view('partials/topper_ssv'));
// render view
$this->template_library->render_page('home_view');
}
}
I've tried several variations of method names / capitalization, etc. but keep getting errro on 1st line in index():
PHP Code:
$this->template_library->set_page_data('page_title', 'MZ Library');
Error Message: "Undefined property: C_home::$template_library"
The template_library file in aopplication/libraries is:
PHP Code:
<?php if ( !defined('BASEPATH')) {exit('No direct script access allowed');}
class Template_library {
public $page_data = array();
public function __construct() {
$this->CI =& get_instance();
}
// setter to add data to page_data from controller
public function set_page_data($name, $data = NULL) {
$this->page_data[$name] = $data;
return;
}
// render a page view
public function render_page($template) {
// render a page - this can be as complex as you like of course, here I just output some views.
$this->CI->load->view('common/header_v', $this->page_data);
$this->CI->load->view($template);
$this->CI->load->view('common/footer_v');
}
}
Any suggestions?
