Header and Footer in Codeigniter

Header and footer in CodeIgniter

Here's what I do:

<?php

/**
 * /application/core/MY_Loader.php
 *
 */
class MY_Loader extends CI_Loader {
    public function template($template_name, $vars = array(), $return = FALSE)
    {
        $content  = $this->view('templates/header', $vars, $return);
        $content .= $this->view($template_name, $vars, $return);
        $content .= $this->view('templates/footer', $vars, $return);

        if ($return)
        {
            return $content;
        }
    }
}

For CI 3.x:

class MY_Loader extends CI_Loader {
    public function template($template_name, $vars = array(), $return = FALSE)
    {
        if($return):
        $content  = $this->view('templates/header', $vars, $return);
        $content .= $this->view($template_name, $vars, $return);
        $content .= $this->view('templates/footer', $vars, $return);

        return $content;
    else:
        $this->view('templates/header', $vars);
        $this->view($template_name, $vars);
        $this->view('templates/footer', $vars);
    endif;
    }
}

Then, in your controller, this is all you have to do:

<?php
$this->load->template('body');

How to load page views like header, sidebar, footer in CodeIgniter?

in advance, you can through this way to build your view:

first create an Template in your view folder

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
    <meta content="MajidGolshadi" name="author">
    <?php echo $html_head; ?>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="content">
            <?php echo $content; ?>
    </div>

    <div id="footer">
        <?php echo $html_footer; ?>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

second
create an library to load your view automaticaly

<?php
if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Template
{
    private $data;
    private $js_file;
    private $css_file;
    private $CI;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->CI =& get_instance();
        $this->CI->load->helper('url');

        // default CSS and JS that they must be load in any pages

        $this->addJS( base_url('assets/js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js') );
        $this->addCSS( base_url('assets/css/semantic.min.css') );
    }

    public function show( $folder, $page, $data=null, $menu=true )
    {
        if ( ! file_exists('application/views/'.$folder.'/'.$page.'.php' ) )
        {
            show_404();
        }
        else
        {
            $this->data['page_var'] = $data;
            $this->load_JS_and_css();
            $this->init_menu();

            if ($menu)
                $this->data['content'] = $this->CI->load->view('template/menu.php', $this->data, true);
            else
                $this->data['content'] = '';

            $this->data['content'] .= $this->CI->load->view($folder.'/'.$page.'.php', $this->data, true);
            $this->CI->load->view('template.php', $this->data);
        }
    }

    public function addJS( $name )
    {
        $js = new stdClass();
        $js->file = $name;
        $this->js_file[] = $js;
    }

    public function addCSS( $name )
    {
        $css = new stdClass();
        $css->file = $name;
        $this->css_file[] = $css;
    }

    private function load_JS_and_css()
    {
        $this->data['html_head'] = '';

        if ( $this->css_file )
        {
            foreach( $this->css_file as $css )
            {
                $this->data['html_head'] .= "<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href=".$css->file.">". "\n";
            }
        }

        if ( $this->js_file )
        {
            foreach( $this->js_file as $js )
            {
                $this->data['html_head'] .= "<script type='text/javascript' src=".$js->file."></script>". "\n";
            }
        }
    }

    private function init_menu()
    {        
      // your code to init menus
      // it's a sample code you can init some other part of your page
    }
}

third
load your library in every controller constructor and then use this lib to load you view automatically

to load additional js in your view you can use addJS method in this way:

$this->template->addJS("your_js_address");

for Css:

$this->template->addCSS("your_css_address");

and to show your page content call your view file with show method

$this->template->show("your_view_folder", "view_file_name", $data);

i hope this codes help you

In codeigniter how to get tcpdf custom header and footer

You need extend TCPDF in order to use custom header and footer

class PDF extends TCPDF {

    //Page header
    public function Header() {
        // Logo
        $image_file = K_PATH_IMAGES.'logo_example.jpg';
        $this->Image($image_file, 10, 10, 15, '', 'JPG', '', 'T', false, 300, '', false, false, 0, false, false, false);
        // Set font
        $this->SetFont('helvetica', 'B', 20);
        // Title
        $this->Cell(0, 15, '<< TCPDF Example 003 >>', 0, false, 'C', 0, '', 0, false, 'M', 'M');
    }

    // Page footer
    public function Footer() {
        // Position at 15 mm from bottom
        $this->SetY(-15);
        // Set font
        $this->SetFont('helvetica', 'I', 8);
        // Page number
        $this->Cell(0, 10, 'Page '.$this->getAliasNumPage().'/'.$this->getAliasNbPages(), 0, false, 'C', 0, '', 0, false, 'T', 'M');
    }
}

Even I did like this and got my result.
