Using layout pattern with CodeIgniter

CodeIgniter is great framework by its simplicity. But when I moved from CakePHP, I really missed layout pattern.

CodeIgniter documentations offers this way to include non-changing site header and footer

$this->load->view('header');
$this->load->view('template'); 
$this->load->view('footer');

For sure it isn't flexible and does not show page structure in a clear way. For many years I use layout pattern. Layout describes whole page as a template with blocks for header, menu, content, etc like on figure below. On page rendering these blocks are filled with data.

I found a small code snipped for CI and improved it. You are welcome to try!

Position custom and fancy overlay dialog on Google Maps V3

Nowadays many sites uses embedded map from Google for purposes like showing object location, drive-in way or more complex stuff. Recent Google Maps Version3 (V3) API becomes very powerful, but remained very clear and easy to use.

While developing site for real estate company I faced with necessity to display fancy, complex overlays on top of the map when user clicks on the marker.

There are some standard ways of showing so called info-windows. The problem is that it is not possible put complex formatting there or catch mouse clicks events.

To solve it I have to to dig into API internals and recent version V3 has some surprises here.
