How to create Master Page(Layout) with base design style

Question

I\'m new in CodeIgniter. I want to create Master Page or Layout with base style that will be contain Menu, footer and etc. I don\'t want to write repeating content in all pa

Answer 1

What we probably do is separate view files for header, menu, footer, etc.. that is common for all pages. And include them inside each view. like

$this->view('header');
$this->view('menu');
//Some specific content
$this->view('footer');

If you need same functionality without copying the above to all views, you need to create a function in your controller as follows:

private function myviewfunction($current_view) 
{
    $this->load->view('header');
    $this->load->view('menu');
    $this->load->view($current_view);
    $this->load->view('footer');
    return NULL;
}

and call this function in all your pages (methods)

$this->myviewfunction('about'); //About is the specific view for the method
