ah, no ... you don't understand me ... the method is called get_names()
It is very short one:
Code:
function get_names()
{
$query = $this->db->get('menu_items'); // Simple db table, containing only id and name of the link, e.g. 'music', 'fun', 'jokes' so the links will be like site.com/stuff/jokes, site.com/stuff/fun
if ($query->num_rows() > 0)
{
foreach ($query->result_array() as $row)
{
$names[] = array(
'name' => $row['name']
);
}
return $names;
}
}
But this is in my header. And will be repeated on every page. That's why I don't want to have this little method in every model. Like blog_model, search_model... I don't want to repeat the code. And I've read and read ... As far as I know, I have to put it MY_Model.php just because it will be used everywhere. And yes, my actual model is MY_Model.php
see this:
Code:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class MY_Controller extends Controller
{
function MY_Controller()
{
parent::Controller();
$boxes = $this->my_model->get_names();
$data = array(
'menu_links' => $links
);
$this->template->set_layout('page_tpl');
$this->template->set_partial('header', 'header_tpl', $data, FALSE);
$this->template->set_partial('footer', 'footer_tpl', FALSE);
}
}
/* End of file MY_Controller.php */
/* Location: ./application/core/MY_Controller.php */
And MY_Model.php:
Code:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class MY_Model extends CI_Model
{
var $table = "";
function My_Model()
{
parent::CI_Model();
$this->load->database();
}
function get_names()
{
$query = $this->db->get('menu_items');
if ($query->num_rows() > 0)
{
foreach ($query->result_array() as $row)
{
$names[] = array(
'name' => $row['name']
);
}
return $names;
}
}
}
/* End of file MY_Model.php */
/* Location: ./application/core/MY_Model.php */
And the view file header_tpl.php:
Code:
<div id="menu">
<ul>
{menu_links}
<li><a href="/box/{name}/">@{name}</a></li>
{/menu_links}
</ul>
</div>
