Description

A template library for CodeIgniter 2.0, which allows you to quickly build and organise your CI site using a template system.

• With thanks to Matt Trimarchi - (http://studio372.com.au, worked on V1.0 together.

##Requirements

Code Igniter 2.0

##Usage

Download and place the files in your CI installation.

Add 'template' to your autoload file in the libraries config item.

Update the config/subooatmpl.php file to set your base template settings such as the sites name, title, and other items like which css and js files are always loaded.

An example of updating the base welcome controller in CI to use this library is below:

class Welcome extends CI_Controller {

	function __construct(){
		parent::__construct();
	}

	function index() {
		$data = array('some_variable' => 'some_data')
	
		$this->subooatmpl->add_message('notice', 'You are using the subooatmpl library');
	
		$this->subooatmpl->set_content('welcome_message', $data);
		$this->subooatmpl->build();
	}
}
