I've been using django for some time and I decided to start a new project but this time in Codeigniter, I used to extend the template file in my views and put content inside the {% block content %} block but it seens to be different in CodeIgniter.
In CodeIgniter I have something like:
<?php
$this->load->view('header');
$this->load->view('form_add_customer');
$this->load->view('footer');
?>
But is there a way to have an unique file with header, content and footer like this?
<html>
<head><title>Test</title></head>
<body>
<div id="header">Welcome</div>
<div id="content">
</div>
<div id="footer"> 2013 - Tectcom Telecom</div>
</body>
</html>
And put a view file with a form inside the content div?

In codeignitor, you must load the views using the function $this->load->view() inside controller.
Then in the middle of the file edit the two variables $application_folder and $system_path and make sure you're using an absolute path instead of a relative one. Then in your external PHP script just include the external. php file and use the $CI global object to access the whole codeigniter: include '../../external.
Update your html (layout) file like this:
<div id="content"><?php $this->load->view($content) ?></div>
In your controller, call the view like this:
$view_data = array();
$view_data['content'] = 'form_add_customer';
$this->load->view('path/to/layout', $view_data);
