Module-based app

Hello everyone! I’ve learning Yii for a couple of months. I try to make my code more reusable, so i try to build module-based apps. And the first problem which i got is how to use model from one module in another module? For example, i have some relations between two modules (i.e. Users and Posts). As you can guess, my Users model stored in protected/modules/Users/models/Users.php and Posts model - in protected/modules/Posts/models/Posts.php. So then i try to define some relation between these models, i’ve got error. Yii cant find model. For example, my relation for Posts model:


return array(

  'author' => array(self::HAS_ONE,'Users','authorid'),

)

I think, Yii try to search in default models dir (protected/models). I found one dirty way to fix this issue - by adding full path for import in config/main.php (something like ‘import’ => array(‘application.modules.Users.models.*’). It works fine, but its not a good idea for me. Maybe somebody knows another, smarter way to work between models from different modules?

p.s. sry for my poor english :)

Yii modules are supposed to be isolated from each other. What you are asking is not really recommended…

You can use your "dirty" way or use Yii::import() though.
