How to pass $data to blocks or inner templates?

[albertone]

Hi,

I have testing the library and I would like to use include_template() or block() functions inside a template for generate dynamic content like menus but it does not possible pass data to the blocks or templates included.

Actually I do that with _loadview() and _trigger_contentsection() as you describes on readme.

For example, if we have a template which have a header with dynamic menu, what is the way to implement it using the template?

Hello Albertone,

In fact, what you've done is just the right way of doing what you want. The template system with the _includetemplate() and block() methods are for static code.

If your menu is built dynamically, you have to create a view (or many views if necessary) for the menu and then, use the _loadview() and _trigger_contentsection() methods.

So, you can't pass data to a template or a block but the $CI variable is available If you have a session data _userprofile, you can access it with: $CI->session->user_profile
