Sorry if this is a n00b question but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this...
I have a site controller, this is responsible for gathering required data and loading views (Queries are hard coded while I'm testing):
Code:
class Site extends Controller {
function userView() {
$this->load->model('image_model');
if ($query = $this->image_model->getAlbumsByUser(2)) {
$data['albums'] = $query;
}
$this->load->view('header');
$this->load->view('user_view', $data);
$this->load->view('footer');
}
I also have a user controller which manages logging in etc.
Code:
class User extends Controller {
function login() {
$username = $this->input->post('username');
$password = $this->input->post('password');
$this->load->model('user_model');
if ($this->user_model->authenticateUser($username, $this->_prepPassword($password))) {
$sessiondata = array(
'username' => $username,
'authenticated' => true
);
$this->session->set_userdata($sessiondata);
$this->load->view('user_view'); ***********************
}
}
Where the stars are I want to load the user_view, but as this view relies on certain data being passed to it, I want to load it by first calling Site->userView(). How do I achieve this? Or am I not understanding MVC properly?
