FuelPHP Forums

Hello Guys, I'm new to fuel as many people and need an opinion from somebody, here's the scenario. I have a base class and this base class contains a private method called load_view(), where it's inherited controller classes can pass a view and generate the whole page. Method load_view()

        function _load_view($view)
 {
  //header part
  $header = View::factory('common/header', 
   array('member_id'=>$this->member_id, 'member_name'=>$this->member_name, 'division_name'=>$this->division_name)
  );
  
  //template - main
  $template = View::factory('template', 
   array('content'=>$view)
  );
  $template->header = $header;
  
  $this->response->body = $template;
 }

template.php

echo $header;
echo $content;
echo View::factory('common/footer');

So the main problem I have is making variables accessible through out the entire template, for example variable that get passed in to the header should be available in 'common/footer' as well. since I'm coming from Codeigniter I'll show what I mean. template.php

$this->load->view('header);
$this->load->view('content');

Usage

$this->load->view('template', array( 'var' => 'foo' )); //$var is available in both header and content.

Any idea?
