External Action In Module

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

I have a module and am trying to use external action files within it.

In my DefaultController I have:




public function actions() 

	{

		return array('people'=>array('class' => 'application.modules.mymodule.controllers.actionPeople'));

	}

The action class exists as above, however the system returns a 404 when trying to access: index.php?r=mymodule/people

What gives?

Dear Friend

Default controller for a Module is DefaultContoller.

Default action of CController is index.

These are the default things unless we specifically overide it.

When we put something like this




index.php?r=mymodule

It is meant like




index.php?r=mymodule/default/index

The following is not going to work




index.php?r=mymodule/index







index.php?r=mymodule/people

The following is going to work




index.php?r=mymodule/default/index







index.php?r=mymodule/default/people

If I put actions in the module in the regular way, eg.




public function actions() 

        {

                return array('people');

        }

then create an action in the regular way:




    public function actionPeople()

    {

        // do stuff

    }

Then yes, I can access the action thus: index.php?r=mymodule/people

I would expect the same for an external action.
