Yii framework, using a module in another module

Question

How can I call a module in another module? This code works on my Controllers in Protected/Controllers:

$image = Yii::app()->image->save($photofile, 'some_name','uploadedGal');

But in the controller of my other module (admin) I get this error.

Property "CWebApplication.image" is not defined.

I have defined the image module in my main config file:

'modules'=>array(
           'image'=>array(
                    'createOnDemand'=>true, // requires apache mod_rewrite enabled
                    'install'=>true, // allows you to run the installer
            ),
            'admin',

),

No, I have my backend as a module admin and in the backend I need to use a module for image management image. I followed all the instructions and it works in the frontend, but it doesnot work in the backend which is a module itself — mahsa.teimourikia

You need to include the other module components in your module class. Something like this:

class AdminModule extends CWebModule
{
    public function init()
    {
        $this->setImport(array(
            'admin.models.*',
            'admin.components.*',
            'image.models.*',
            'image.components.*',
        ));
}

Also, I found that I could add this: Yii::app()->setComponents(array('image'=>array('class'=>'application.modules.image.components.ImgManager'))); before using the other module...

You can import the module components in the config/main.php like below:

'import'=>array(
    'application.models.*',
    'application.components.*',
    'application.modules.admin.models.*',
        'application.modules.admin.components.*',
            ....
            ....
),

This way all models etc will be imported for you.
