[eluser]selftaught[/eluser]
I am looking for advice to add a navigation menu in my header view so it is rendered on each page request. Sorry for the newby question.

site.php (controller)
<?php

class Site extends CI_Controller {

function contact_us()
{
$data['main_content'] = 'contact_us';
$this->load->view('template',$data);
}

function about_us()
{
$data['main_content'] = 'about_us';
$this->load->view('template',$data);
}
}

template.php (template)
<?php

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

$this->load->view($main_content);

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

?>

header.php (included/header view)
<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" contnent="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This comes from the header view</p>

footer.php (included/footer view)
<p>This is the footer</p>
</body>
</html>

about_us.php (about_us view)
This is the about us page.about

Any help is greatly appreciated.

site.php (controller)

Code:
&lt;?php

class Site extends CI_Controller {

  function contact_us()

  {

      $data[‘main_content’] = ‘contact_us’;

      $this->load->view(‘template’,$data);

  }

  function about_us()

  {

      $data[‘main_content’] = ‘about_us’;

      $this->load->view(‘template’,$data);      

  }

}

template.php (template)

Code:
&lt;?php

$this->load->view(‘includes/header’);

$this->load->view($main_content);

$this->load->view(‘includes/footer’);

?&gt;

header.php (included/header view)

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

&lt;html lang=“en”&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

  &lt;meta http-equiv=“Content-Type” contnent=“text/html; charset=utf-8”&gt;

  &lt;title&gt;untitled&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

This comes from the header view

footer.php (included/footer view)

Code:
This is the footer

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

about_us.php (about_us view)

Code:
This is the about us page.about

[/code]

And.. if you create a

menu.php (included/menu view)

Code:
<ul>

  <li><a href="#">Menu Item</a></li>

  <li><a href="#">Menu Item</a></li>

</ul>

and then, in the template.php (template) add ...

Code:
&lt;?php

$this->load->view(‘includes/header’);

//--

$this->load->view(‘includes/menu’);

//--

$this->load->view($main_content);

$this->load->view(‘includes/footer’);

?&gt;

Is not that functional for you?
