codeigniter+HMVC cross module call controller->method

Question

I am pulling all my hair off... Have been searching every thread, would appreciate if someone can point me to a working example.

Accroding to the doc: https://bitbuc

Answer 1

After some attempts to achieve call a controller that is not located within any module.

Modules::run('../Controller/method');

Answer 2

so According to the documentation they says copy the controller in default controller folder and move to modules controller.

So now how do I run the controller that has been moved to modules when I run its running from the default controller file if removed does not work so how to make it run the controller inside module as a default controller to run.

So Do I need to mention the modules name too in the route

Answer 3

I am new at CI as well, and I thought I was having the same issue. Script seemed not to be running. (no html output).

//This did NOT work (did not produce output)
modules::run('module_name/method_name',$data); 

// but this DID work???  didn't know why
modules::run('module_name/method_name',$data); 
exit();

// turns out you need the echo for output
echo modules::run('templates/login_template',$data); 

This may be obvious to many of you- but I wasted two hours searching for an answer.

Answer 4

I ran into the same issue. Make sure you check capitalization of your directories and and controllers. It's not case sensitive for differing between the module and controller name.

//In my case the below did not work
$this->load->module('dashboard/Dashboard');
$this->Dashboard->method();


//but 
$this->load->module('dashboard');
$this->Dashboard->method();
//worked

Thanks for MC's tip, I finally figured out the cause. HMVC doc indeed lacks some examples for beginner.

For anyone who may find this thread in the future, correct usage here:

to call module01/controller01/method00:

//method 1 CORRECT:
$ctlObj = modules::load('module01/controller01/');
$ctlObj->method00();
//or you could use chaining:
modules::load('module01/controller01/')->method00();

//method 1 WRONG:
modules::load('module01/controller01/method00');  //this will only load contructor

---
//method 2 CORRECT:
modules::run('module01/controller01/method00');   //no trailing slash!

//method 2 WRONG:
modules::run('module01/controller01/method00/');  

---
//method 3 CORRECT:
$this->load->module('module01/controller01');
$this->controller01->method00();

I don't understand why method 3 failed when I first try... maybe because I restarted HTTPD?

Answer 6

This HMVC works well for me. I'm working on a project using this HMVC now. Just edit third_party/MX/Modules.php as shown in this link below and tell me the response.
