In this tutorial i want to share how to make and use template in codeigniter, this is just basic and very sample. Ok, this more steps to create it.

1. Setting your autoload.php file like this (this file located in folder application/config/autoload.php)

$autoload['helper'] = array('url');



i used that filter bacuse need it to load css file.

2. Create controller file example home.php and create code like this

class Home extends CI_Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        //load helper url
        $this->load->helper('url');
        $this->load->view('theme/header');
        $this->load->view('theme/sidebar');
        $this->load->view('theme/content');
        $this->load->view('theme/footer');
    }
}

3. Create css file for example style.css, css file located in theme folder, folder theme located same with application folder, and create code like this

.mainpage
{
    width:900px;
    margin:0 auto;
    padding:0 auto;
}

.header
{
    width:900px;
    margin-top:10px;
    height:50px;
    background:#ffccDD;
   
}

.header h1
{
    padding-left:4px;
}

.main
{
width:900px;
margin-top:10px;
}

.main .sidebar
{
width:300px;
float:left;
margin-right:4px;
padding-right:4px;
background:blue;
}

.main .content
{
width:590px;
float:left;
background:red;
}

.footer
{
width:900px;
margin-top:10px;
background:#CDCDCD;
}
