Answer 1

You're setting the month and year in your view method, so you could just pass those to the view through the $data array:

// Diary Controller
$data['calendar'] = $this->diary_model->generate($year, $month);
$data['year'] = $year; // ADD THIS
$data['month'] = $month; // ADD THIS

$data['body']='diary/calender';

$this->load->view('includes/template', $data);

then, in your model you can set it like this:

// Diary Model
$this->conf['template'] = '...
{cal_cell_content}
  <div class="day_num">{day}</div>
  <div class="content"><a href="'.$year.'/'.$month.'/{day}">View</a></div>
{/cal_cell_content}
...';
