Hi all,

I was wondering what’s the best way to only load {header}, {menu} and {footer} only once throughout the application and just dynamically change the {content} according to the link being clicked?

Thanks in advance

You should have a main router view named /views/index.php with a body like this :

<body> 
    <header>
        <?php $this->view('include/header')?>
    </header>

    <aside>
        <?php $this->view('include/menu')?>
    </aside>
 
    <div id="main"> 
        <?php $this->view($content); ?>
    </div>

    <footer>
        <?php $this->view('include/footer')?>
    </footer>

</body> 

that you call in all of your controllers functions, and you dynamically pass your content template to load into the view :

$data->content = 'page/content';
$this->load->view('index', $data);

I’ve seen al kinds of solutions while googling, but this one definitely seems the best and easiest out there.
