Hi!

I am trying to implement the concept of using common header and footer for all the pages. I have look thru and found out that this can be done using a MY_Controller class derived from the base Controller class, and inheriting this class for whatever class I am creating.

I see the the view for the header and footer opens up good. However, I see a 404 Page Not Found error message as well. Could help me out where I am going wrong.

The html markup for the resulting page I add in the reply.

Code:
$&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;title&gt;404 Page Not Found&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;

body {

background-color:    #fff;

margin:                40px;

font-family:        Lucida Grande, Verdana, Sans-serif;

font-size:            12px;

color:                #000;

}

#content  {

border:                #999 1px solid;

background-color:    #fff;

padding:            20px 20px 12px 20px;

}

h1 {

font-weight:        normal;

font-size:            14px;

color:                #990000;

margin:             0 0 4px 0;

}

&lt;/style&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

    <div id="content">

        <h1>404 Page Not Found</h1>

        <p>The page you requested was not found.</p>    </div>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

<h1>Home</h1>

&lt;title&gt;Home&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="/assets/css/main.css" type="text/css"&gt;

This is footer

Here is the MY_Controller class I used.

Code:

&lt;?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');



/**

* MY_Controller

* 

* Consider this the application controller.

* 

* @package Firestarter

* @subpackage Core Extension

* @author Kylee Tilley <[email protected]>

*/

/* TODO:



    I need to create an assest management library so clean up the code in $this->embed_assests



*/



/*



    NOTE: Using this controller will change how you are using views.

    You will need to load a view in to a variable called $this->views['content']



*/



    class MY_Controller extends Controller

    {

        protected $view_data;

        protected $assests;

        protected $views;

        

        public function __construct()

        {

            parent::Controller();

            

            $this->config->load('application', TRUE);            

            

            //SET DEFAULT VIEW VARIABLES

            $this->view_data['page_title'] = 'Home';

            $this->view_data['application'] = $this->config->item('application');

                //To help standardize page specific CSS, we are setting the body id of the page to "controller__method"            

            $this->view_data['body_id'] = ($this->router->method = 'index') ? ($this->router->class) : ($this->router->class).'__'.(($this->router->method));

            

            //SET DEFAULT ASSESTS

            

            /* ---- Stylesheets ----

            

                In order to include a stylesheet on to the page, you must define it in the $this->assests['css'] variable.

                

                By default, you will set just a single string. You can set an array if you need to set options like media type.

                

                EXAMPLE:

                

                    $this->assests['css'][] = array('print', media="print");

            

            */

            $this->assests['css'] = array('main');

            $this->assests['javascript'] = array();



            //LOAD VIEWS

            //The header and footer views have to be loaded in to variables so they can be outputted on the controllers destruction

            $this->views['header'] = $this->load->view('header', $this->view_data, TRUE);

            $this->views['footer'] = $this->load->view('footer', $this->view_data, TRUE);

        {

            $stylesheets = NULL;

            $javascripts = NULL;

            

            

            

            //STYLESHEETS

            

            if(!empty($this->assests['css']))

            {            

                foreach($this->assests['css'] as $stylesheet)

                {

                    if(is_array($stylesheet))

                    {

                        if(isset($stylesheet['media']))

                        {

                            $stylesheets .= '&lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="'.$this-&gt;view_data['application']['assests_dir'].'css/'.$stylesheet[0].'.css" media="'.$stylesheet['media'].'" type="text/css">'."\n";

                        }

                        else

Please help me out, thanks.
