CMS like blocks in a main template file |
[eluser]Stylec[/eluser]
Hi, I'm trying to port a site to CI and am looking for ways to do the following. At present i have a site that has the template coded into the index.php file, I then just use include('topnews.php') to show the topposts from the forums where ever i want. In topnews.php i get the news from the DB and then pass them to a html template file. This then gets displayed on the index.php file like a block on the left or right side. In CI i am thinking of having it like this- Use matchbox to add module support. Have a module called news. Then have a controller called news_block that calls the news_block_view but how do i call the news_block from the main template file just like i did with the include. Maybe the structure as shown. modules -news --controllers news_block.php --views news_block_view.php views -themes --default theme.php Thanks for any help.

@Stylec: If you need view partials/blocks within modules, why not try Modular Extensions 4.1, it is designed for this purpose. Good Luck. |
