Question

I was coding PHP using controll based on adress and GET method with index.php?site=filename. Then i was including existing filename.php in content div. That was simply but effective. Also i has got notification div where i included file with data from database

I'm trying to get similar result in CodeIgniter

html
    head
    /head
    body
        div notification bar (always on top like Material)
        div menu (slide from left also like Material)
        div content (depended on controller and loaded view)
        div footer (only /body /html)
    /body
/html

by

public function __construct()
        {
            parent::__construct();
            $this -> load -> view('notification ');
            $this -> load -> view('menu '); 
        }

I want do send data from model to notification view but i can't do this in constructor. Also i dont want to load this same view in each controller's method. How should i do this? I dont expct ready solution, but some ideas, maybe pseudocode?

Or maybe this is only one solution like this? Loading all needed views in every methods? Really?

class news extends CI_Controller
    {
        public function __construct()
        {
            parent::__construct();
            $this -> load -> view('header');
        }
        public function index()
        {
            [...]//data from model
            $this -> load -> view('notification',$Data);
            $this -> load -> view('menu',$Permission);
            $this -> load -> view('news',$Content);
        }
[...]

Why not simply create a view containing views (kind of like sub-views)? It's not too hard to do, see stackoverflow.com/questions/9402924/… — SolarBear
Ok, thanks, i'll do this way, but it doesn't solve my problem with data in notification. Some of notifications will be inactive so how set whitch of them are? Or i can set this in view code using mysql query but this is against MWC rules, isn't? How do you think? — Bejkrools

I'm trying this (sorry for polish words):

controller

class uzytkownik extends CI_Controller
    {
        public function index()
        {
            $this -> load -> model('Uzytkownik_model');
            $DaneLogo['Tytul'] = 'Dzie z życia';
            $Dane = array(
            'Naglowek' => $this -> load -> view('naglowek', NULL, TRUE),
            'Logo' => $this -> load -> view('logo', $DaneLogo, TRUE),
            'Lista' =>  $this -> Uzytkownik_model -> PobierzUzytkownikow(), 
            );

            $this -> load -> view('uzytkownicy', $Dane);
        }

view

echo $Naglowek;
echo $Tytul;
echo $Logo;

foreach ($Lista->result() as $Uzytkownik)
{
    echo $Uzytkownik -> id.' ';
    echo $Uzytkownik -> imie.' ';
    echo $Uzytkownik -> nazwisko.'<br>';

}

working fine but...

    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8"/>
</head>
<body>
<div id='logo' style='background-color: blue; wight: 100%; height: 40px;'>
    <center> <!-- i want $Tytul HERE --></center>
</div>
Dzie z zycia<!-- NOT HERE -->1 Jan Kowalski<br>2 Adam Nowak<br>3 Alicja Marczak<br></div>
</body>
