Here ’ s what the dashboard view looks like, from an HTML markup and PHP code standpoint:

< !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN”

“http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd” >

< html xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml” xml:lang=”en” lang=”en” >

< head >

< meta http-equiv=”content-type” content=”text/html; charset=utf-8” / >

< title > < ?php echo $title;? > < /title >

< link href=” < ?= base_url();? > css/admin.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” / >

< script type=”text/javascript” >

// < ![CDATA[

base_url = ‘ < ?= base_url();? > ’;

//]] >

< /script >

< script type=”text/javascript” src=” < ?php echo

base_url();? > js/prototype.js” > < /script >

< script type=”text/javascript” src=” < ?php echo base_url();? > js/scriptaculous.js”

> < /script >

< script type=”text/javascript” src=” < ?php echo base_url();? > js/customtools.js”

> < /script >

< /head >

< body >

< div id=”wrapper” >

< div id=”header” >

< ?php $this- > load- > view(‘admin_header’);? >

< /div >

< div id=”main” >

< ?php $this- > load- > view($main);? >

< /div >

< div id=”footer” >

< ?php $this- > load- > view(‘admin_footer’);? >

< /div >

< /div >

< /body >

< /html >

There are a few things to note about this view.

1. You will need to create an admin.css file for use on the admin dashboard.


2. You will need to create an admin_header subview.


3. You will also need to create an admin_footer subview.


4. The dashboard view has no need for a navigation subview.


5. You will also need an admin_home subview to show anything on the dashboard index.
