Menu
I'm new in CodeIgniter. I want to create Master Page or Layout with base style that will be contain Menu, footer and etc. I don't want to write repeating content in all pages and load it automatically for all pages. For example, I can create Master Page in asp.net or Layout in asp.net mvc. I'm sure I can do it in CodeIgniter.

lets assume you have an html page
<html>
<head>
<title> Hello World </title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="menu">
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">About</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
</div>
<div id="main-content">
<!-- this is the dynamic part -->
</div>
<div id="footer">
Copy Right 2013 Hello World
</div>
</body>
</html>
you could split it into 1- header 2- menu 3- main content 4- footer
you basically put
<html>
<head>
<title> Hello World </title>
</head>
<body>
in one view called "view_header" then you put
<div id="menu">
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">About</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
</div>
<div id="main-content">
in a view called "view_menu" and then you put
</div>
<div id="footer">
Copy Right 2013 Hello World
</div>
</body>
</html>
in a view called "view_footer" then in your controller
$this->load->view('view_header');
$this->load->view('view_menu');
$this->load->view('YOUR_VIEW');
$this->load->view('view_footer');
The other solution, which I see is better: create a view called view_template.php
<html>
<head>
<title> Hello World </title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="menu">
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">About</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
</div>
<div id="main-content">
<?php $this->load->view($content); ?>
</div>
<div id="footer">
Copy Right 2013 Hello World
</div>
</body>
</html>
in the controller lets say you want to call a view called About
$data = array('content'=>'about');
$this->load->view('view_template',$data);
