Repetive html with based on dynamic data - view partial vs helper

[eluser]msteudel[/eluser]
Hi All,

I have your table listing out a bunch of items to that can be edited/deleted

e.g.

Name | Actions
Mark | Edit - Delete
Bill | Edit - Delete
etc.

I have the following view:

Code:

<table class="data">
    <tr>
    <th>Id</th>
    <th>District</th>
    <th>State</th>
    <th>Actions</th>
    </tr>
    &lt;?php foreach( $districts as $district ): ?&gt;
    <tr>
    <td>&lt;?php echo $district['id'] ?&gt;</td>
    <td>&lt;?php echo $district['district_name'] ?&gt;</td>
    <td>&lt;?php echo $district['state_name'] ?&gt;</td>
    <td>&lt;?php $this->load->view( 'admin/district/format_actions') ?&gt;</td>
    </tr>
    &lt;?php endforeach ?&gt;
</table>

My thought of how to generate the actions (Edit - Delete) was to either use another view or use a helper. I initially went with the view idea and have this:

Code:

<?php echo anchor( '/admin/district/update/' . $district['id'], 'Edit') ?> |
<?php echo anchor( '/admin/district/delete/' . $district['id'], 'Delete') ?>

But $district isn't available to the format_actions view. I'm not sure if there is an easy way to pass a variable into a "sub-view". If there isn't then I guess I'll go for a helper ...

Any thoughts?

TIA, Mark

Whats your controller look like?

[eluser]msteudel[/eluser]
Oh I suppose another option would be to just use a normal include ... though it'd be nice to keep things consistent with CI methods

Here's my controller:

Code:

function __construct()
    {
    parent::Controller();
    $this->load->library('pearloader');
    $this->load->model( 'district_model' );
    $this->load->model( 'state_model' );
    }

    function index()
    {
    $data['title'] = ' Admin > Districts | Math Monster Mystery';
    $data['districts'] = $this->district_model->get_districts();
    
    $this->load->view( 'main_template', $data );
    }

// more unrelated methods

}

[eluser]msteudel[/eluser]
Oh an here's the main_teplate:

Code:

<?php
$this->load->view( 'includes/header' );

$uri = explode( '/', uri_string() );

switch( $uri[3] ) {
    case "":
    $this->load->view( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] . '/index' );
    break;
    default:
    $this->load->view( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );
}

$this->load->view( 'includes/footer' );
?>
