CI controller for loading pages into iframe - php

Question

I want to implement a new module into a site, which is made with CI. I am an absolute newbie with CI and I can not figure out how to create the controller ant the view files. I need the new content to be loaded into an iframe in the current site. So far I have:
controller:
class Module extends Controller {
function __construct() {
parent::Controller();
}
function index() {
$this->common->loadView('module/module');
}
}
view:
<iframe src="/new_module/index.php" width="100%" height="100%" scrolling="NO" frameborder="0" >An iframe capable browser is required to view this web site.</iframe>
route:
$route['module/(:any)'] = "module/$1";
site structure:
resources/
system/
....
new_module/
new_module/index.php
new_module/page1.php
new_module/page2.php
Links should be:
http://mydomain.com/module/page1
http://mydomain.com/module/page2
The link are outside of the iframe and the content should load inside the iframe. So, the iframe src should be changed dynamically.
Obviously, it does not work. Could someone with more experience with CI tell me how it
should be done?
Thank you!

For the frame to change dynamically, just set the target of the link to the iframe:
Page 1
<iframe id="targetFrame" src="" width="100%" height="100%" scrolling="NO" frameborder="0" ></iframe>
As I understand, by default, Codeigniter does not have "modules". That is unless you are using a CMS or somesuch that is built on top of CI in which case you'd need to specify that.
Otherwise, just use controllers correctly to get what you want.
class Pages extends Controller{
public function page($id='')
{
switch $id{
case 1:
$data['pageData']='foo';
break;
...
}
$this->load->view('page_view',$data);
}
}
