Hi!

I`m new to CI and I want to start using it in my projects.
Now, I want to know if anyone using one file as template (view file)? How I mean it:

I want to create (for example) page with next parts: header, left, mid, right, footer. All parts are same for every section/page of site, except "mid" part.
How to do this?

PS Sorry for bad english

The easiest way would be to do something like this

View:

Code:
&lt;body&gt;

    <div id="header">Header</div>

    <div id="left">Left</div>

    <div id="middle">&lt;?=$main?&gt;</div>

    <div id="right">Right</div>

    <div id="footer">Footer</div>

&lt;/body&gt;

And then in the controller, get the contents of the main view by setting the 3rd param to true, as follows

Code:
$data['main'] = $this->load->view('main_content_view', null, true);

$this->load->view('master', $data);

I use my _ _ _ _ _ to come up with these brilliant ideas... Who wants the first guess?
