Body
I recently started using Codeigniter after having a structural problem in one of my Ajax-heavy applications. (You can read up on it if you want in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16437102/best-way-to-set-up-my-programs-code">my previous question</a>) I have a fairly short question. Currently I am making a lot of Ajax requests to different controllers. I open the controllers like this: <pre><code>public function __construct() { parent::__construct(); $this->output->set_content_type('application/json'); } </code></pre> And at the end of every function I do the following: <pre><code>$this->returnValue['result'] = "ReturnedInfo"; $this->returnValue = json_encode($this->returnValue); $this->output->set_output($this->returnValue); </code></pre> The code is pretty clear in itself, but I don't want to keep repeating myself. The codeigniter manual says to do the following: <pre><code>$this->output ->set_content_type('application/json') ->set_output(json_encode(array('foo' => 'bar'))); </code></pre> But I would still be repeating myself. Also, I don't want to add a function to every controller that does this, even if it does decrease redundancy. Since all of my controllers return JSON, is there a way to set this globally in a config file maybe, or in any other way? TL;DR I have this same piece of code in every controller/function. Since the output type is always the same, just not the result, is there a way to automate this process across every controller/function?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
