Here we have rendered a theme with name "simple" without any external files like css,images,js... e.t.c.
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed'); class Example extends CI_Controller { function __construct() { parent::__construct(); $this->load->helper('url'); $this->_init(); } ... public function example_2() { $this->output->set_template('simple'); $this->load->view('ci_simplicity/example_2'); } ... }
