In Modular Codeigniter, how can/should one module's controller call another module's function?
You can load the model articles from module articles from another module Dashboard.
Just load the model in the constructor function of the module (ex. Dashboard) you want the model to be available which should look like this.
function __construct() { parent::__construct(); ... // this is case sensitive, 1st part is the module, 2nd part is the class name $this->load->model('articles/Articles');}Then anywhere in your controller (ex. Dashboard), you can call $this->articles_model->update_article();.
