How to include a layout system in CodeIgniter07.12.13

if you like to work with layouts as you are used in ruby frameworks or cakephp than add the following library

1.
/application/libraries/Layout.php

<?php  
if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Layout
{
    
    var $obj;
    var $layout;
    
    function Layout($layout = "layout_main")
    {
        $this->obj =& get_instance();
        $this->layout = $layout;
    }

2.
add the following line to /application/config/autoload.php

$autoload['libraries'] = array('layout');

3.
add the master Master layout like

/application/views/layout_main.php

<html>
<head>
<title><?=$title_for_layout?></title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/main.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="pagewidth" >
  <div id="header" ><img src="/images/header.jpg" width="700" height="200"></div>
  <div id="wrapper" class="clearfix" >
    <div id="twocols" class="clearfix">
      <?=$content_for_layout?>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div id="footer" > Footer </div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
