But I have a small piece on which I'm stuck. My goal is that I can use my standard_view.php from most of my controllers. It has a function that builds the page based on parameters sent to it from the controller ($title,$head,$body). But there's one section where I want to A) display the user's name and a link to point to a jquery function to log out or B) just show a link that points to a jquery function to log back in. Since all my login information is based on CI's session, I can't reference it from a view. I guess my real question is, where does one put stuff like that so I don't have to write extra code every time I want a page with my login box displayed.
