Hi.

I was wondering, is there a way to place down a markup on every page, regardless of the controller, and than load the views inside that? So, for example I can create a wrapper div for my site, and than load the necessairy views inside that.

i dont know if i did understand want you want

but you can use a kind of template

Code:
// the view that you want to load

$data["main_content"] = "/foobar_list";

// load the template base and pass the data

$this->load->view("/tpl/template_base", $data);

in the view, the /tpl/template_base.php

Code:
<div class="main-content">

&lt;?php

// loads a view if the $main_content is passed

isset($main_content) ? $this->load->view($main_content) : "";

?&gt;

</div>

and you can do this for has many views as you want
just pass

Code:
$data['navigation'] = 'views/navigation';

$data['banners'] = 'views/banners';

$this->load->view('template_base', $data);

this way you can send multiple views to the template

Is it concidered bad practice to do this using hooks? so for example to make a pre_controller hook that displays something like "<html><div id='wrapper'>";
and a post_controler that displays "</div></html>"?

p.s. yes, I know there should also be head and body tags, this was just an example.
