Check this It might help you

class MY_controller extends CI_controller{    function __construct() {        parent::__construct();    }    function _required_user($params =array()){        $action =$this->router->fetch_method();        if(empty($params['except']))            $params['except'] =array();        if(empty($params['only']))            $params['only'] =array();        if(count($params['except']) > 0 && in_array($action,$params['except']))            return true;            if(count($params['only']) > 0 && in_array($action,$params['only']) && $this->session->userdata('is_login'))            return true;        if($this->session->userdata('is_login'))                return true;        redirect('login');      }       }class dashboard extends MY_Controller {  function __construct() {        parent::__construct();        $this->load->library('session');        $this->load->model('dbmodel');        $this->load->helper('url','form');        $this->_required_user(array('except'=>array('index')))          }    function add(){    /*    Session required    */      }    function edit(){    /*    Session required    */      }    function index(){    /*    no session required    */    }  } class content extends MY_Controller{    function __construct() {        parent::__construct();        $this->load->library('session');        $this->load->model('dbmodel');        $this->load->helper('url','form');        $this->_required_user(array('only'=>array('index')))            }    function add(){    /*    no Session required    */      }    function edit(){    /*    no Session required    */      }    function index(){    /*    session required    */    } }  class Myaccount extends MY_Controller{    function __construct() {        parent::__construct();        /*        for all functions session required        */        $this->_required_user()         }    function edit(){    /*    session required    */    }    function save(){    /*    session required    */    } }

1. Only param: check session is exist for only given functions/function
2. Except param: Don't check session for given functions/function
3. No Param : check session for all function in controller and redirect

You can modified _reuired_user function according to your requirement

you can try the following - if it helps

create in your application/core folder a class named MY_Controllersomething like

class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller{    public function checkUserSession()    {        if($this->session->userdata("unverified") != FALSE)         {            redirect("verify_user");        }        return true;    }}

after that your dashboard controller should look like

class dashboard extends MY_Controller {    public function show_dashboard()    {        if ($this->checkUserSession())        {            //your code        }    }}

Create a library with any name i created Users.

class Users {    public function __construct()    {        $this->ci =& get_instance();    }    function _is_logged()    {        if(!$this->ci->session->has_userdata('unverified'))        {            redirect('verify_user');        }    }}

Load the library or put it in to autoload in application/config/autoload.php

Then just call the function at the top of your methods which one you want to restrict.

function abc(){    $this->users->_is_logged();    // your code}
