Example
How you usually load a view:
How you load a view into a template with this library:
This loads the view about.php into template.php.
Installation
- Put
Template.phpintoapplication/libraries
How to use it
Create a template file
application/views/template.php
$contents is where your view will be inserted.
Create a view
application/views/about.php
Load the view into the template
In your controller:
How this library works
The view is loaded into a variable which is passed to the template.
Advanced use 1: more slots in your template
Example: you want to set the page title.
Add an HTML header to views/template.php
Set the title in your controller before loading the view:
Advanced use 2: highlight the current navigation item
Navigation is usually part of the template. However, it's a good practice to highlight the item corresponding to the current page, so your visitors know where they are.
Define your navigation items
Add to application/libraries/Template.php under $this->set('contents...:
Update your template
Add in application/views/template.php:
To be able to use the anchor function, autoload the url helper in config/autoload.php:
Update your controller
Add:
Notes:
- if all methods of your controller are under the same nav item, you can set the nav directly in the constructor.
- to actually highlight the current item, define the corresponding CSS (for
#navigation .selected).
Advanced use 3: multiple templates
To easily deal with multiple templates, define new load methods in libraries/Template.php instead of modifying the existing one. Advanced use 2 with a custom method:
Corresponding code in your controller:
Misc
Last update: November 10, 2011 (updated folder paths for CodeIgniter 2). Previous version is still available.
Contributors:
- Moshe Teutsch: view loading with CI method instead of include_once. That makes things much cleaner and simpler!
Feedback
I know i'm being dense, but how would you change the nav_list items anchor build? Say you want the menu item in the nav list to say Photos but the link itself for navigation purposes needs to point to a controller that may not be named photos?
It will build like
http://www.someplace.com/ci-app/photos
but i really need
http://www.someplace.com/ci-app/gallery/add
You're not being dense at all.
In libraries/Template.php, set nav_list like that:
Then in views/template.php:
That works perfect and actually makes sense to me now!Thanks for the help and making the library available.It really is the most simple template library for CI!

It seems like a better idea to me to put things in to a configuration file, instead of altering inside the library file itself.
Given that this 'library' is only 5 lines long, it didn't seem necessary to me.
Jerome,I am trying to use CI form validation with your Template code and am running into some snags.Seems like defining valiation rules (set_rule) is getting lost in translation with I load my page views via the template.Any suggestions?
I use CI Form Validation with this template library and it worked fine so far. What happens? You don't get that problem when you directly load the view?
'You don't get that problem when you directly load the view?'Correct.I am using the FORM VALIDATION library from CI 1.7.1.I define my set_rules function just before I make the call to your template library. When I run the validation back in my controller it always returns FALSE. I have set up one very simple rule for 'required' and I am inputting text in the field so that the test 'SHOULD' pass and return TRUE, but it never does.All indications is that set_rules is losing its coupling to the form after I call the load in the Template library.Are you using CI 1.7.1?Perhaps I am overlooking something when I set up my validation rules?Could you post some of your code that you use for validation?Thanks for any help you can offer.Lowkase
You set the rules before running the validation, right? This is how I do it:
Jerome, Thank you VERY much for the sample you posted. My problem had nothing to do with the template library and everything to do with my lack of understanding the validation library. Your sample code has set me on the right path and everything is now working as it should. I have found your template library simple, powerful and easy to use. It has been the perfect solution for my template needs. One thousand thank yous!

I can't seem to get this library to add show the view in $contents. It merely prints that out in the source instead of loading the view into it. Any ideas?

Love this library but I have one question. How, if you know, is it possible to pass the default 404 page into master template view content area ?
Andy, have a look at Custom 404 error pages with CodeIgniter.
You can call $this->template->load() from the error_404() method.
You can call $this->template->load() from the error_404() method.
Hello I'm starting the use of your library and get some char errors (my first language is portuguese). DO you have any idea how can I fix it?
Daniel, use the UTF-8 encoding for your PHP files (check your text editor settings) as well as for your HTML template (<meta http-equiv='Content-type' />).

$contents not catching nav items like for example$this->set('nav_list', array('photos' => 'Photos', '/gallery/add' => 'Add Photo'));when clicking the link it goest to http://localhost/myci/index.php/photos/ and it says 404 error?
This is great, thank you so much.. i've been searching for hours before i found your solution. However, i did ran into a little problem. When trying your 'Advanced use 2:...' I got 'Undefined variable: nav_list' and 'Invalid argument supplied for foreach()' both error points to this line of code '<?php foreach($nav_list as $id => $nav_item): ?>'..any ideas what went wrong?
Raza, have you defined $nav_list in libraries/Template.php?
Jerome, thanks. I found my mistake. I've inserted the '$this->set('nav_list', array('photos' => 'Photos', '/gallery/add' => 'Add Photo'));' after the 'return $this->CI->load->view($template,.....' line. I'm totally blinded somehow not seeing that before, but your question revived me. :) Again thank you sooooo much for an awesome, simple yet functional code. You're my hero... :)
Hi Jerome, I am new to CI. I tried your template, but why does it only show the template (the copyright), but it doesn't show the content in the about.php? I am using CodeIgniter_1.7.1. When I simply use $this->load->view('about') it works fine.Thanks.
Hi Ana, have you put <?= $contents ?> in views/template.php? Do you get any error?
I found out the problem, it turns out that short tags in my config is FALSE, I change it to true, and it works fine:)
Great library!I have a one question how to change this library to work with HMVC library. It's very important form me. I'm a newbe with CI and PHP :)

Absolute n00b here... So maybe I'm just missing something but the nav links do not work at all. Additionally it would be great to see how I could use a multi dimensional array for navigation; nested list.Any help would be great!
Thanks Jérôme Jaglale, i have read this tutorial page it realy help me to understand the Code Igniter template. Thanks again
Thank you for this simple tutorial!It helped me a lot!
that's nice effort :)i am not sure why CI is not taking steps to add some template handling library in new versions...
Hello, I am trying to figure out how to pass a variable into the view that is loaded into the template file. eg. views/About.php contains: <h1>About</h1> <p><?php echo $copy; ?></p> In the controller I have: $data['copy'] = 'Some text'; $this->template->load('template', 'about', $data); But the copy value does not seem to get passed through the chain down in to the loaded view. Any ideas on what I can do to make this work?

Ahh. I figured it out!! Looks like it WAS working after all.Coding error on my part. Doh!
Glad you figured it out. Sorry for the poor code rendering here, I will do something about that.

i did, but i keep getting the following error:A PHP Error was encounteredSeverity: NoticeMessage: Undefined variable: data
This is what i did in the controller:$data = array('test','test2'); $this->template->load('template', 'site/welcome', $data);Then in the view i keep getting an error for undefined $data variable.
$data is not used in the view. Have a look at 'Adding Dynamic Data to the View':
http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/views.html
http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/views.html
Thanks, i haven't used CI for a while now and totally forgot the $data array was actually used.BTW, this template system is very very clean and light. I like it alot.
Totally love this library... can't believe it's not a default feature of CIGood job!
I hate this library...it is making me redo my entire application because it is so awesome! ;) I can reduce ~20,000 lines of code (no joke) by using this. I'm about 3 days into it and so far so good.
Goog library thanks. I will modify it and share if U want.Contact with CI creators they must want your library!!!
Thanks so much for this. A really simple library but precisely what I needed.
Thanks for this, Jérôme. I now dislike CI a little less.

Hello Jérôme. I used your library on a recent project and found it very simple and easy to use... Thank you very much. I am now starting another project and am trying to get your library to work with Matchbox modules but seem to be having some trouble getting it all to work together. Can you provide some assistance or at least point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance...
This looks very simple and thus promising. Thanks in advance.

HelloJust to say thank you for this simple idea of how to manage views ! I love it and its so much more flexible than the template parser imo. :)
Hello, just to thank you a lot for this :), Im a ruby on rails programmer trying to switch to CodeIgniter framework because of the problems with rails (like speed >:( ), I was definitely looking for this and I hope you don't get upset if I use your library for a public project, I won't modify your library at all :P (hope all copyrights are there for you ;) ), thanks a lot :D
Hican anyone please help me to figure out how to use two blocks of data in a template?let's say I have this in template.phpand therefore 2 view files for 1 page (i.e. blog.php and sidebar_blog.php), assuming there will be different data in sidebar on different pages.I tried adding load_sidebar function to library and calling load('template', 'post'); and load_sidebar('template', 'sidebar_post'); in controller but then my template output is duplicated (which is logical, I called it twice). What should I do?

sorry, I mean 'calling load('template', 'blog'); and load_sidebar('template', 'sidebar_blog'); in controller'
to artem:probably you want to use this.... make blog view as variable , so does with the sidebar_blog, than just use the set function-->$blog = $this->load->view('blog',',true);$this->template->set('blog', $blog');$sidebar_blog = $this->load->view('sidebar_blog',',true);$this->template->set('sidebar_blog', $sidebar_blog');-->

I keep all my templates in a sub folder of my views for organizational purposes, so to access them I would have to type:
$this->template->load('templates/template', 'view', $data);
To remove the subdirectory from the function call I did this.
I added this to the library:
var $template_path = 'templates/';
and then within the load function, I altered it to this:
$this->CI =& get_instance();
$this->set('contents', $this->CI->load->view($view, $view_data, TRUE));
return $this->CI->load->view($this->template_path.$template, $this->template_data, $return);
This allows to me to change the path to the template file with one line of code and shorten the function call. However if you have multiple developers you may need to inform them about this behavior. Hope this helps!

The folder 'system/application/libraries' folder already had a Template.php file in it (that contained the CodeIgniter CI_Template class) which did not get overwritten.
I uploaded this libraries Template.php as Template2.php, changed the class name to Template2 inside of it, changed the autoload entry to 'template2' and called $this->template2->load
inside of the controller. Everything worked!
I am new to CI, but I would think that the CI Template.php file would be systemlibraries folder - any thoughts?

your template stuff makes the site more slow. Every single time to load a view it will have to call $this->CI =& get_instance(); and other stuff... try to think in other solution.
tresloukadu: get_instance() returns an existing instance so it shouldn't slow things down. You should cache your pages anyway.

This library is great! I'm adding a few methods to the library.
CSS/JS loading.
e.g. add, display
I'm also adding a method to set the template. I like to set the template in the constructor. Also if I choose to add functionality for the user to change the template.
e.g. set_template

Hi jerome
I'm realy interested in your tutorial.
It worked, and since I'm newbie, but my job demands me to get along with codeigniter and javascript. I wanna know, what would it looks like if the changing of the page content of your 'simple sample' was triggered by a button click,which means you have to include some script to make it happen? I hope I could see your reply, ASAP. And I hope you could understand my words, since I'm Indonesian. Thx a lot

I have a correction, what if your content is triggered from a link, and it controlled by javascript.Thx in advance.
Can this be converted to use the parser class?
thanks in advance!
thanks in advance!
Thanks for the library. I am new to CodeIgniter and just downloaded 2.0.0. The Template parser class provids a similar funtionality. From the performance point of view, is there an advantage to using this method over the 2.0.0 template parser class:

Why you store as reference here:
$this->CI =& get_instance();
and not:
$this->CI = get_instance();
This is causing all types of problems when using magic methods like __get and __set.

You can load a page inside of a 'themed' template.
The parser is just replacing PHP's code with readable code.

I placed Template.php in the system/application/libraries folder. I've added template to the library array in autoload.php as suggested above, but get this error:

If I load the library in the controller like this:

It works.
I'm still getting my legs with CI but I was under the impression that autoloading a library precluded the need to load it at the controller level. Do I have that wrong?

If I load the library in the controller like this:
$this->load->library('template');
It works.
I'm still getting my legs with CI but I was under the impression that autoloading a library precluded the need to load it at the controller level. Do I have that wrong?
Ah, never mind. I was autoloading another library after I loaded the template library. All I needed to do was this:
$autoload['libraries'] = array('form_validation', 'template');
Nice library. Thank you. This is how I imagined the template system would work by default in CI. Very sensible.

Thank you very much. Just what I needed, simple and elegant solution.
This template library does not allow you to link external stylesheets within the template. I tried and the browser cannot find the external stylesheet.
The stylesheets problem is simple to solve :
I've created an assets folder on the root of my project, with a css folder in it, you only need to put a variable in your code to find the css file and it works fine.

I am very new to codeigniotr and I am sure I am just missing something. I am unable to get this library to load. For one my codeignitor setup did not have a system/applications/libraries folder.
I am getting this message when I try to auto load the library as well as load it from my controller.
Message: Undefined property: Home::$template.
Controller code:
$this->load->library('template');
$this->template->load('template');
Config autoload
$autoload['libraries'] = array('template');
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, I'm creating a website and I'm using a theme that I downloaded from ThemeForest.
I put all the theme in a folder called template in the view folder so when i load i just go with
$this->template->load('template/index', 'blog', $data);
The problem is with css and images.
How can i include css (better dynamically) and js? The files are in 'views/template/css' and 'views/template/js'
Thanks a lot.

I have added this function at the end of file (out of the class) next function thats validate if a variable has been seted.
<?php
function section(&$name){
echo isset($name) ? $name : null;
}
?>
In the template use:
<?php section($variable)?>
<?php
function section(&$name){
echo isset($name) ? $name : null;

I not understand how use the Template Library with the Parser. I can't use '{var}' in my template/views...
Any tips, folks?

OK, only now I saw the Hossein Salemi function (#63). It work now! ;-)
If you want to use the parse() function in many controllers, here's a tip: put the Hossein Salemi function (#63) in MY_Controller (http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/core_classes.html).

I also crate a template library that very look like to Wordpress theme. If you are familiar with wp theme, you can try my <a href='http://www.webinone.net/code-snippet/codeigniter-template-library-for-wordpress-fun/'>template library here.</a>
I need to query for my nav_list in the Template class. Setting is statically is easy, like you showed... but how can I make a model available in the load function of Template class?
BTW, very nice work!

Hi,
this is working great for me, but is it compatible with CI localization support, ie application/language/english/{files}_lang.php ?

You probably shouldn't use short tags for code you publish for other people to use.
I appreciate your work (It helped me a lot), but using short tags instead of the full syntax really had me pulling out my hair.
I'm referring to:
<html>
<body>
<div><?= $contents ?></div>
<div>Copyright 2008</div>
</body>
</html>
Where <?= $contents ?> should really be <?php echo $contents; ?>
If you're developing an app that is to be distributed, you can't rely on short tags always being available.

Hi, I think you're french but anyway...
Just a question. Is it possible to '$this->set' a variable to the view itself instead of the layout file ?
For example if I do
$this->template->set('title', 'toto');
$this->template->load('layout', 'home');
I can call $title in the layout.php file but not in the home.php is it normal ?
Thanks for your help & and of course for your library

Well, I did like that ...
function load($template = ', $view = ' , $view_data = array(), $return = FALSE)
{
$this->CI =& get_instance();
// Added start
if(!empty($this->template_data)){
$view_data = array_merge($this->template_data,$view_data);
}
// end
$this->set('contents', $this->CI->load->view($view, $view_data, TRUE));
return $this->CI->load->view($template, $this->template_data, $return);
}
And now I can set a variable with $this->template->set('foo','bar'); in the construct controller for example and call it in all methods and views.
Just take care with name conflict I guess
I hope it's not so bad

This awesome halpful for me,
I'm too new in CI, and just try to learn everything about it.
I'm using CI 2.1.0 + this library;
frist install i got some error. but after I try to change :
become :
My first CI can run properly..
thanks for awesome work :D

In Advanced use 1:
while setting the 'title' in the controller like below its not working
$this->template->set('title', 'About me');
The error is showing like
Message: Undefined variable: title

It might be a small library, but it is very useful. Thanks also for the instructions and the examples. It was just what I needed :-)
I've expanded a bit this library to fits my needs.
function set($data, $value = FALSE)
{
if(! is_array($data)) {
$this->template_data[$data] = $value;
} else {
$this->template_data = $data;
}
}
Now you can pass an array of data, if you are lazy like me and you want to pass in some more data, so instead of writing:
$this->template->set('some_data', 'some value');
you could now do it like:
$tpl_data = array(
'title' => 'About Page',
'meta' => 'CodeIgniter Template library, CI library ...'
);
$this->template->set($tpl_data);
Cheers,

Hello Jérôme!
What nice library! Thanks for share it.
I was doing it on more complex way. ;)
Well, to fill my needs (and allow more clear way to change from my method to yours) I made a few changes on your code, which I would like to suggest you:
1. I've included a test on the library to make sure that the given template is available on the application. If not available, then the library returns the content itself (without a template).
2. I've created 3 new constants to handle the templates' (or layouts) path and place them at ./index.php. This way, if you need to change the structure of application directories (some day) you'll just need to do it on a unique file.
Now, let me show you the changes ...
1. ./application/libraries/Template.php
...
function load($template = ', $view = ' , $view_data = array(), $return = FALSE)
{
$this->CI =& get_instance();
/*
* Make sure that the given template exists
* If not exists, then return the content itself.
* The LAYOUT_APP_PATH and LAYOUT_PATH constants are defined at ./index.php
*/
if (file_exists(LAYOUT_APP_PATH.$template.EXT))
{
$this->set('contents', $this->CI->load->view($view, $view_data, TRUE));
return $this->CI->load->view(LAYOUT_PATH.$template, $this->template_data, $return);
}
else
{
return $this->CI->load->view($view, $view_data, $return);
}
}
...
2. ./index.php
...
/*
|---------------------------------------------------------------
| DEFINE LAYOUT APPLICATION CONSTANTS
|---------------------------------------------------------------
*/
define('LAYOUT_DIR', 'layouts/');
define('LAYOUT_PATH', '../'.LAYOUT_DIR);
define('LAYOUT_APP_PATH', APPPATH.LAYOUT_DIR);
/*
* --------------------------------------------------------------------
* LOAD THE BOOTSTRAP FILE
* --------------------------------------------------------------------
...
Well, that's it! What do you think?
Let me know at rogerio [dot] taques [at] gmail [dot] com.

Very nice information, with help of your tut i have just created a layout.
<a href='http://phpflow.com'>phpflow.com</a>
<a href='http://phpflow.com'>phpflow.com</a>
Very helpful. Integrated into my entire site very quickly and easily. Thanks!
I was having a problem of assigning array from my controller and calling it from the $contents in my view.. So i did a little adjusted to your library which goes thus:
function load($template = ', $view = ' , $view_data = array(), $return = FALSE){
$contentx = $this->CI->load->view($view, $this->template_data, TRUE);
$this->template_data = array(); // Custome me
$this->set('contents', $contentx);
return $this->CI->load->view( $template, $this->template_data, $return);
}
This way i can easily write something like this my controller
$this->template->set('nav_list', array('home','contact','thankyou'));
$this->template->load('column1', 'welcome');
And to imitate your sample code above which says:
Add to application/libraries/Template.php under $this->set('contents...:
$this->set('nav_list', array('Home', 'Photos', 'About', 'Contact'));
You will just have to Add the below code above: [$contentx = $this->CI->load->view($view, $this->template_data, TRUE);]
$this->set('nav_list', array('Home', 'Photos', 'About', 'Contact'));
function load($template = ', $view = ' , $view_data = array(), $return = FALSE){
$contentx = $this->CI->load->view($view, $this->template_data, TRUE);
$this->template_data = array(); // Custome me
$this->set('contents', $contentx);
return $this->CI->load->view( $template, $this->template_data, $return);
}

$this->template->set('nav_list', array('home','contact','thankyou'));
$this->template->load('column1', 'welcome');

$this->set('nav_list', array('Home', 'Photos', 'About', 'Contact'));
Before i forget.. Thanks for the library. You made CI interesting for me :)

First off, great work!
Second, now that it worked, how do I pass data from model into the sub view. You know, that contents view that is inside the body content, not the template itself.
