CodeIgniter - 在网页上创建“块”元素的正确方法

Question

I've been searching for a solutions for this problem a while but haven't seen any "valid mvc" solution for this. I hope I can explain my problem clearly enough for you guys.

• I need to create a dynamic block of HTML on my website. (eg. a block containing user's latest blog comments).

• I have a template view file (a file containing header, content container and a footer) where I need to add some content AND this block element.

The problem is that I don't want to duplicate this block code on every controller. It just feels stupid and I'm sure there's a better way to do this than just duplicating same stuff all over again on all the controller files?

I can add view inside another view just fine, but what bugs me is how to actually generate that dynamic content to this block's view-file. I can't call controller from view file, controller from controller filem or model from view file because what I understand that just isn't the "mvc" way?

Anyone got any tricks or tips for this?

I ran into the same problem. I didn't want to duplicate this common logic across my action methods. I was moving this logic up to the base controller but it felt a bit clunky.

I eventually stumbled upon the HMVC extension to CodeIgniter. Its a really nice way of generating partial views. You create a module responsible for generating the partial. The module is coded in an MVC way, just like you would code your pages. This module can then be included in your view.

If you've used ASP.NET MVC before, its similar to using Html.RenderAction.
