Base Controller In CodeIgniter

Last updated on January 17, 2018

I always use this Base Controller for My CodeIgniter App Development, It makes my app portable and flexible.We can define all Global settings in Base Controller(Inheritable) so that all Child Controllers share some common methods and properties. Here is my Base Controller

application/core/MY_Controller.php

title = $this->config->item('site_title');
        $this->description = $this->config->item('site_description');
        $this->keywords = $this->config->item('site_keywords');
        $this->author = $this->config->item('site_author');
        $this->pageName = strToLower(get_class($this));
    }

    protected function _render($view, $renderData = "FULLPAGE")
    {
        switch ($renderData) {
            case "AJAX":
                $this->load->view($view, $this->data);
                break;
            case "JSON":
                echo json_encode($this->data);
                break;
            case "FULLPAGE":
            default:
                $toTpl["javascript"] = $this->javascript;
                $toTpl["css"] = $this->css;
                $toTpl["fonts"] = $this->fonts;
                $toTpl["title"] = $this->title;
                $toTpl["description"] = $this->description;
                $toTpl["keywords"] = $this->keywords;
                $toTpl["author"] = $this->author;
		$toTpl["breadcrumbs"] = $this->breadcrumbs;
	        $toBody["content_body"] = $this->load->view($view, array_merge($this->data, $toTpl), true);
                $toBody["header"] = $this->load->view("template/header",'', true);
                $toBody["footer"] = $this->load->view("template/footer", '', true);
                $toTpl["body"] = $this->load->view("template/" . $this->template, $toBody, true);
                $this->load->view("template/".$this->skeleton, $toTpl);
                break;
        }
    }

     protected function _is_ajax() {
        if (!$this->input->is_ajax_request()) {
            exit('No direct script access allowed');
       }
     }
}
