How To Access A Model In A Module From Sitecontroller

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi All,

I have a module and in the default action index in SiteController I would like to retrieve information from a model currently located in a module, I just can’t do it! Yii is trying to look for the model file into protected/models folders, any idea?

Thanks!

You just have to "import" the model classes in your module.




Yii::import('application.modules.mymodule.models.MyModel');

// or

// Yii::import('application.modules.mymodule.models.*');

...

$model = new MyModel();

You may import them in "config/main.php" if you need them regularly.




	'import'=>array(

		'application.models.*',

		'application.components.*',

		'application.modules.mymodule.models.*',

		...

	),
