Editing the controller alone does not pass data to the front-end; the controller passes data. You then have to call the data the controller is passing.

Say you make the change in your controller, like so:

Code: Select all

$data['mytest'] = 'this is my test';
You have to edit the corresponding template file (aka 'the view' part of MVC) to call it:

Code: Select all

<?php echo $mytest; ?>
To know what view file to edit, you can either (in most cases) assume it's the corresponding path of the controller file you're editing:
Controller: admin/controller/common/header.php
View: /admin/view/template/common/header.tpl

or consult the function you're currently editing, inside the controller:

If you're editing the following function in header.php:

Code: Select all

public function index() {
Look for the closure of this function, it will have a line like this:

Code: Select all

return $this->load->view('common/header', $data);
..which tells us the template file is common/header.

The framework automatically fills the file path (/admin/view/template/common/header.tpl) -- the surriounding filepath is always consistent. so when you're looking at the $this->load->view you can always 'fill in the blanks' with view/template/common/header.tpl

Extensions I've made (free):

Breadcrumbs for 2.3.0.2 & 3.0.2.0 Breadcrumb links for subcategories & parent category on product pages
Product Requests Allow customers to request notifications for sold out products
Abandoned Carts Send inquiries to abandoned carts to complete checkout or provide feedback
Ghost Orders Cleanup residue left behind by one page checkout addons
