I have a home
controller with an index
action that displays a set of featured products. However, the products are managed through a product
controller including a proprietary model and views.
How do I access product
information from within the index
action in the home
controller? Instancing product
won't work as the class isn't loaded at runtime and CodeIgniter doesn't provide a way to dynamically load controllers. Putting the product
class into a library file doesn't really work, either.
To be precise, I need the product views (filled with data processed by the product
controller) inserted in the index view. I'm running CodeIgniter 2.0.2.
