Master page Codeigniter Library

SA,

I was an Asp.Net Developer Before Starting Php , One of the Best Concepts in Asp.Net is the Master page which simplify working with our views by  adding a common layout for all pages

Then I Found out  that the layout divided into header , footer , sidebar which are constant in design all over the website just differs in content and the main content which differs according to the requested URL

Here's a Link to the Master Page Library that's help in that task with simple and less Code

1. Configuration :

• sub_path : The path of your view files in views folder
• master_output : The Output of Your Master page ('view' , 'parser')
• header : Name of Your Header File 
• footer :  Name of Your Header File 

* Note :  Each of these Parameters has default values ("front" , "view" , "header.php" , "footer.php" ) respectively 

2. Functions : 

• apply($page, $data, $type = 'view', $lang = '', $return = '0')  and it's used to apply common layout
• apply_ajax($page, $data, $type = 'view', $lang = '', $return = '0') and it's used to apply partial view as in ajax
• $page : view file name 
• $data : the data for view
• $type : type of rendering the current page Default is "view"
• $lang : used for language folder (could be any sub-folder with sub_path) Default is empty
• $return : either to return the view in string or in  browser Default is FALSE

3. Example :

• Controller Constructor

       

        $config['sub_path'] = 'admin';

        $config['master_output'] = 'view';

        $config['header'] = 'header.php';

        $config['footer'] = 'footer.php';

        $this->masterpage->intialize($config);

• Controller Function

              $this->masterpage->apply($page , $data);
