I’m not sure what your question is.
Hm, the first response by Rey Philip Regis in your link with the similar post has a great example. Are you asking if there is a way for CI to create a view that automatically includes the category? If so, then no CI doesn’t do that. Nor does any other framework I know of.

so i think the beast way is to create parent controler with header and footer methods then extend this controler in other controlers
am i wright !!!!!
