How to Deal With Codeigniter Templates?

Question

I\'m fairly new to MVC, and I\'ve found CodeIgniter recently. I\'m still learning everyday, but one problem is its template engine. What is the best way to create templates

Answer 1

Allow me propose an easier way to do this. Consider my answer to a similar question.

Pros:

1. Your template file can be a full HTML file. You don't have to break up the header and the footer.
2. Any view file can be turned into a template with minimal effort.
3. Data for the specific view can be generated in the template.

Cons: 1. You may have to add a template (or layout—if you want to do it the Rails way) directory under views in order to structure your code properly. This follows from Pros[2]. 2. Data for the specific view from the controller must first of all be passed to the template.
