Body
The following is a working example of how my Codeigniter website currently functions: Model: <pre><code><?php class Default_model extends CI_Model { function __construct() { // Call the Model constructor parent::__construct(); } function get_link() { $query = $this->db->query('SELECT * FROM links LIMIT 5'); return $query->result(); } </code></pre> Controller: <pre><code><?php class Home extends CI_Controller { public function index() { $this->load->model('segment1/Page_model'); $data['link'] = $this->Page_model->get_link(); $this->load->view('page_view', $data); } } </code></pre> View: <pre><code><h2>Link</h2> <ul> <?php if (isset($link)):?> <?php foreach ($link as $row):?> <li><a href="<?=$row->url?>"><?=$row->link?></a></li> <?php endforeach;?> <?php endif;?> </ul> </code></pre> I want to begin using a base controller for the above example, and while I've followed a few online examples - I can't quite get it right, and I'd appreciate some guidance... <ol> <li>I autoload the Model, no problem</li> <li>The View file remains</li> <li>I alter the config.php file</li> </ol> Controller: <pre><code><?php class Home extends Main_Controller { public function index() { $this->load->model('segment1/Page_model'); $this->load->view('page_view', $data); } } </code></pre> MY_Controller <pre><code><?php class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller { function __construct() { parent::__construct(); } } </code></pre> Now, here's where I get stuck - I can't quite figure out exactly what goes in the Main_Controller, and how it's structured... Main_Controller: <pre><code><?php class Main_Controller extends MY_Controller { function __construct() { parent::__construct(); // // WHAT GOES IN HERE? // SERIOUSLY, HELP! // } } </code></pre> Clearly, there's one big line of data missing from the original controller... <pre><code>$data['link'] = $this->Page_model->get_link(); </code></pre> How does it all tie up?

1. COWhy are you trying to use a base controller? Do you need to use the same code in every controller, because that's essentially what a base controller is for? We'd need to know more about what you're actually trying to accomplish...

2. COThat's EXACTLY what I'm trying to do ie. use the same code on every webpage and in every controller, for example in a footer of a website - so I don't have to load the same function in every single controller on my site - trying to make it globally accessible.

Guidance

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.
