  To load the layouts, you have to use the Fuel_pages object like so:
  $this->fuel->pages->render('register', $data);
  
  More on using a controller to display your page content from the CMS can be found here:

  Thanks for the speedy reply however this just renders a blank page for me?
  
  Just to clarify the view is a static php file thats just trying to load the layout.

  The "register" view file should just include the contents of what you want to appear in the "body" variable. The controller is simply just loading the view file "render" and doesn't know anything about the "main" layout. Using the code specified above will load the "register" view file into the "body" area of the main layout. If there is both a view file and a page created in the CMS of with the location value of "register", you may want to explicitly tell it which to use (either 'views' or 'cms') by using the 'render_mode' property in the third parameter like so:
  $this->fuel->pages->render('register', $data, array('render_mode' => 'views'));
