Can you help me to solve this problem ?

You're doing it wrong.

Have all of your controllers inherit from a custom controller which has the load function in it.

PHP Code:

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class dashboard extends MY_Controller {
public function index()
    {
        
       $this->my_load('admin','default','dashboard');
    }
} 


Then in the core folder:

PHP Code:

<?php  if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {
function my_load($loc,$tpl_name,$view,$data=null){

        if($loc=='admin' && $tpl_name=='default') {
            $tpl_name = 'admin';
        }
        if($loc=='public' && $tpl_name=='default'){
            $tpl_name='public';

        }

        $data['main']=$loc.'/'.$view;
        $this->load->view('/templates/'.$tpl_name,$data);

    }
}
