Hey guys,

But of a CI newbie here, so trying to figure out the small sh*t that's probably super simple.

I'm trying to create some clean code and structure for my application. I have a header_view that I've posted below. But instead of layout out all the js and css scripts in this view, I wanted to point to another from the controller - a view within a view. I've read numerous posts on here and couldn't figure it out.

What am I doing wrong? I have a variable in the header_view below called $scripts. In my controller, I'm trying to pass through the scripts_view to the variable in my header...I'm assuming I'm not doing something right in controller (which I've also pasted below).

Note, I don't want to use a template system. Just want an organized application. Smile

header_view.php:

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

&lt;html xml:lang="en" lang="en"&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

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

    &lt;title&gt;&lt;?php echo $title; ?&gt; &lt;/title&gt;

    &lt;?php  echo $scripts; ?&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

<div id="wrapper">

Controller:

Code:
&lt;?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Dashboard extends CI_Controller{

    function __construct(){

        parent::__construct();

        $this -> load -> model('user_model');

    }

    public function index()

    {

        $session = $this->session->userdata('logged_in');        

        if ($session == 1) 

        {

            $data['title'] = 'Dashboard';

            $data['scripts'] = $this -> load -> view('scripts_view');

            $this -> load -> view('shared/header_view', $data);

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

            $this -> load -> view('shared/footer_view', $data);

        }

        else {

            redirect('register');

        }

    }

}

Any help would be greatly appreciated boys and girls! love the framework so far - but still trying to hammer it down!

Cheers,
Mike

why this way, what I mean is, why you need to use view within view?

I suppose I don't need to for this particular incident - I just like things separated and organized. Plus diff scripts will need to be loaded further down the road.

I'll need to embed a view within a view, so I thought I'd ask and learn now. Smile

I had this originally - and figured this would be the correct function. But nope, still getting an error. Here's the error message...

FYI: Line 9 is <?php echo $scripts; ?> on the view.

Code:
A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined variable: scripts

Filename: shared/header_view.php

Line Number: 9

So what I had originally, and what you posted above, is absolutely correct. I'm just an idiot and didn't paste it in all the controllers.

Which brings up a new question - would a helper be a good idea to load this across all controllers? Without having to go in and do this for each?

If you need it in all your controllers just extend CI_Controller. More info about extending native libraries: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...aries.html
Example:

Code:
class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller 

{

    public $data;

    public function __construct()

    {

        parent::__construct();

        $this->data['scripts'] = $this->load->view('scripts_view', '', true); 

    }

}

In your controllers use then $this->data

Code:
$this->data['title'] = 'Dashboard';

$this->load->view('shared/header_view', $this->data);
