I have a project that will be built on CI4 and I have some time to play around with it today for giggles.
I'm loosely following the Static Pages Tut and have noticed there's issues (for me) passing variables through view calls. I have a pretty good idea why this is happening and wondering if there's a workaround other than passing each expected variable through the view call. so....
I have a directory that looks like this:
in my controller, I do the usual stuff, nothing special, of calling views...
All goes well so far, here's where it get's a bit troublesome.
In Templates/Layouts/Default/default.php
in Templates/Partials/Default/meta.php
One would expect the $title variable to be available as it's being called from the layout file, which has access to the $data['title'] variable but CI throws an error about the missing variable $title.
I'm still getting read up on the docs, and there's not much currently available about templates/rendering/etc, so I'm relying on CI2/3 conventions for this experiment. I have read a bit about view cells, should I be using that or is CI4 just not quite up to speed on the views/rendering/etc stuff?
Just to make sure I'm being fairly clear about it all, I was expecting access to all the $data passed from the controller to the view in all the Layout and Partial views.
