Is it possible to access different controller from other
like:
$this->load->controller(‘controllers/header’,$data,TRUE);
the same as we can run
$this->load->view(‘partials/header’,$data,TRUE);

I need to access my forum controller from other controllers and not to pass every time the same arguments to the view.
Is it possible?

Thanks.

Hello,

Have a hunt on the forums for this as it has been discussed many times before.

there are three ways I can think of:
>The easiest way is to create a library or helper for commonly used functionality.
>You can also extend /inherit an existing controller
>Or move the common functionality to the model.

all are discussed in the threads above.

Thanks a lot, I’ve created BaseController class with hidden functions starting with _ .

no probs.. welcome to CI.
