I have my controller
class Page extends CI_Controller {
public function id() {
$this->load->model('content');
$page = $this->uri->segment(3, 0);
if($page == 0)
$page = $this->content->get_default_page($page);
$data['navigation'] = $this->content->getNav();
$data['pagename'] = $this->content->get_pagename($page);
$data['content'] = $this->content->get_content($page);
$this->load->view('main', $data);
}
}
Now I'll try to explain. Im getting navigation, and navigation text from mysql (id, navName, navText). then im returning those elements in views/main_view.php in url like: http://abc.com/page/id/1 etc...
Now i need to create other controller like mySuperDuperModule which have some functions not just text.
The problem is that if i create new controller like Gallery(), i need to copy all the stuff from Page() controller to make website show the same.
Is there any way not to do that ?
You can create base controller under /application/core/MY_Controller.php Here MY_ is the value specified for $config['subclass_prefix'] in /application/config/config.php
class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller
{
protected $data;
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->data = array();
}
public function loadPage($page)
{
$this->load->model('content');
if($page == 0)
$page = $this->content->get_default_page(); // I hope this function will give default page from database table. (A Change from your code)
$this->data['navigation'] = $this->content->getNav();
$this->data['pagename'] = $this->content->get_pagename($page);
$this->data['content'] = $this->content->get_content($page);
}
}
Your modified Page Class in /application/controllers/page.php
class Page extends MY_Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
public function id()
{
$page = $this->uri->segment(3, 0);
parent::loadPage($page);
$this->load->view('main', $this->data);
}
}
and your new gallery controller can be in /application/controllers/gallery.php
class Gallery extends MY_Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
public function id()
{
$page = 10; // Assuming gallery page index is 10 in database table OR you can change any logic here.
parent::loadPage($page);
$this->load->view('main', $this->data);
}
}
you can create as many controllers as you want by extending MY_Controller.
You can pass these two lines to any controller and they will display the same template.
$data['navigation'] = $this->content->getNav();
$data['pagename'] = $this->content->get_pagename($page);
If you still dont understand try to use this library
