I do not know if the following is possible. If not other suggestions are appreciated.
In nearly all my controllers I will load some default views. For example header, footer and menu.
I would like to have certain variables auto load for each view.
If I take the header as an example. Into my header I will always load an array of $css
scripts and an array of $javascript
files.
$javascript[] = 'js/jquery.js'; $javascript[] = 'js/jqueryui.js';
But additionally, depending on the current page logic, I might want to add another javascript file to my $javascript
variable.
$javascript[] = 'js/custom.js';
Then ideally, I would like these variables to be automatically inserted as data into the load of the view.
In other words, I just want to call:
$this->load->view('header');
How could this be achieved?

Create MY_Controller add a public array there then extend from MY_Controller
class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {
public $data;
function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->data['MYVAR'] = 'Something';
}
}
in your other controllers you just do it like this
class SomeClass extends MY_Controller {
function __construct () {
parent::__construct();
}
function index () {
$this->data['SomeOtherVar'] = 'xxx';
$this->load->view('viewname', $this->data);
}
}

You can use $this->load->vars in your Controller. I use this in my_controller and all controllers are extend from MY_Controller For example
<?php
class MY_Controller extends Controller{
public function __construct(){
parent::__construct();
$this->setGlobalViewVariables();
}
public function setGlobalViewVariables(){
$result = array();
$result['value1'] = 'value1';
$result['value2'] = 'value1';
$this->load->vars($result);
}
}
?>
