I am an experienced CI user but newbie to EE. I really liked CI for its flexibility.

My main question about EE are:
1) If all the pages of new website have the same header, can I create one file and include it in all pages? Is there doc on how to do that?

2) What about custom modules that do certain operations? For example, I want to get data out of database, do certain operation with it in PHP, then based on the output display something (In CI it would be like if($var==1) $this->load->view(‘1’) else $this->load->view(‘2’) )

Thanks to anybody who can share their experience with customizing EE

You can certainly embed sub-templates within your templates. That said, you seem to be hooked on the idea of a page-based CMS. EE is not, it’s article based.

2) What about custom modules that do certain operations?

The sky’s the limit 😊 Take a look at the docs.

You can also use a bit of PHP / CI in your templates, or whip up a quick plugin.
