I thought about creating seperate c

Answer 1

@Reinis answer probably hit the spot correctly for older versions of CI less than 2.0 however alot has changed since then, so I thought I'd answer this question with an up to date method of what I've done.

Most of it is similar to @Reinis method and also described here:http://codeigniter.com/wiki/MY_Controller_-_how_to_extend_the_CI_Controller

However here are the updates ive done:

Step 1: Create a MY_Controller.php file and store it in /application/core

Step 2: In your MY_Controller.php file put in the following contents:

load->view('base', $data, true));
    }

}

Step 3: Create a sample controller to base off of MY_Controller.php, in this case I will create a welcome.php controller inside of application/controllers/ with the following content:

load->view('welcome_message');
    }

}

Once you have these controllers set, do the following:

Step 4: Create a base view inside of /application/views and name the file base.php, the content of the file should be similar to this:

    
        
        
         
        
    
    
        

            

                
            
        
        load->view('shared/scripts.php'); ?>
