okay i'm still a beginner.. but we all need to start somewhere Smile

i have created different view files that have a div with forms like signup, login, etc etc

now i have a main view
that have on the left side a login view to begin with
and on the right side it has a small list that we just bought (its a shopping cart kind of thing)
now if i don't have a login yet i want to create a account
this form is located in a different viewfile
so when i press the button "register user" i want to show the registration form
but i want to keep the list of course
so what i want to achieve is to only change the login_form to the registration_form

i hope you understand my question its a bit complicated to explain with my crappy english

Hi With views there is an optional third parameter. $this->load->view(filename, data, [return]).
I would perhaps put a variable in your main file called $sidepanel for example.
I would then load the file which has the most appropriate view in (ie login or create) into a variable called $data['sidepanel] in your controller by setting the third parameter as true. Then simply in your main view output the contents of $sidepanel.

Code:
controller{

function index(){

  if($loggedin)

    $data['sidepanel']=$this->load->view('login',$whateverdatarequd,true);

  else

    $data['sidepanel']=$this->load->view('register',$whateverdatarequd,true);

  $this->load->view('main',$data);

}

}#end of controller

##in view

print $sidepanel

Of course if you want to have the two forms on the same page without reloading, then output them both and use Jquery etc to hide one of them!

yes i want to show the forms without reloading..
do you know a good tutorial for Jquery to hid/show the views?

I would do something like below - its ugly code and Im certain there are better ways, but gives the idea. Like you could just alter the text of the button on toggle.

Checkout:
http://api.jquery.com/toggle/

Code:
&lt;form class='formtoggle'&gt;

<!-register form--&gt;

&lt;/form&gt;

&lt;form  class='hide formtoggle'&gt;

<!-login form--&gt;

&lt;/form&gt;

<button class='toggleforms'>Login</button>

<button class='toggleforms hide'>Register</button>

&lt;!-- need to get jquery here --&gt;

<sc*ript type='text/javascript' >

  $('.hide').hide();

  $('.toggleforms').click(function(e){

    $('.formtoggle').toggle();

    $('.toggleforms').toggle();

    e.preventDefault();

  })

</sc*ript>

Could you post a section of the controller which loads the two views and also your view file that pulls it all together. I am not entirely clear on how this section of code works:

Code:
&lt;?php echo $this->view(‘cart/login’); ?&gt;

The way I'd do it is in the controller, load each of the views into the variables:

Code:
$data['register']=$this->load->view('cart/register',null,true);#3rd parameter returns data as string

$data['login']=$this->load->view('cart/login',null,true);

#Load the data into the main view

$data['register']=$this->load->view('main',$data);#Don't set third parameter - just output it!

Then in 'main' view;

Code:
&lt;?=(isset($register))?$register:''?&gt;

&lt;?=(isset($login))?$login:''?&gt;

I dont think you can load views directly within views, i have created code for doing this myself, but it breaks the paradigm a bit I think..

Also post your forms and I will look at JQuery for them for you

check out view

Code:
&lt;head&gt;

    &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt;

    &lt;title&gt;CodeIgniter Shopping Cart&lt;/title&gt;

    &lt;link href="&lt;?php echo base_url(); ?&gt;assets/css/core.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /&gt;

    [removed][removed]

    [removed][removed]

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;?php if(!$this->cart->contents()):

    echo 'You don\'t have any items yet.';

else:

?&gt;

<div id="wrap">

&lt;?php echo $this->view('cart/register'); ?&gt; //this needs to be register or login

    <div class="cart_list">

        <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

            <thead>

            <h3>Your Order</h3>

            <tr>

                <td>Qty</td>

                <td>Item Description</td>

                <td>Item Price</td>

                <td>Sub-Total</td>

            </tr>

            </thead>

            <tbody>

                &lt;?php $i = 1; ?&gt;

                &lt;?php foreach($this->cart->contents() as $items): ?&gt;

                &lt;?php echo form_hidden('rowid[]', $items['rowid']); ?&gt;

                <tr &lt;?php if($i&1) { echo 'class="alt"';  }?&gt;>

                    <td>&lt;?php echo $items['qty']; ?&gt;</td>

                    <td>&lt;?php echo $items['name']; ?&gt;</td>

                    <td>&euro;&lt;?php echo $this->cart->format_number($items['price']); ?&gt;</td>

                    <td>&euro;&lt;?php echo $this->cart->format_number($items['subtotal']); ?&gt;</td>

                </tr>

                     &lt;?php $i++; ?&gt;

                     &lt;?php endforeach; ?&gt;

                <tr>

                    <td></td>

                    <td></td>

                    <td><strong>Total</strong></td>

                    <td>&euro;&lt;?php echo $this->cart->format_number($this->cart->total()); ?&gt;</td>

                </tr>

            </tbody>

        </table>

        &lt;?php echo form_submit('', 'Confirm Your Order');?&gt;

    </div>

</div>

&lt;?php endif; ?&gt;

what i want to achieve is that every view file becomes a kind of module
that i can load whenever i want on some page
and if i want to change layouts or something that i only need to edit one file

I cheat a little myself sometimes for this reason - i am sure I will probably get told off for it, but here goes...
Create file in helpers: general_helper.php - you will need to load in your controller:

Code:
function view($page,$data,$return=false){

  $CI=& get_instance();

  $CI->load->view($page,$data,$return);

}

Then in your view, this function will be accessible and you can load any view you like, just pass it the data and file name!
