Yii: How to create crud operations for a model in a module?

Question

There is a model(Message) located in message module. How can I create crud operations for this model outside of the module. Simply I want to create a crud operation (not in module), but my model is located in message module model directory.
First possible solution is copying Message model to Yii base model directory. Is there any other systematic way to create my crud operations?

Answer 1

You can do it with gii. Provide application.modules.message.models.Message in the Model class field of Crud Generator page.

Answer 2

Create a module via Module Generator.

Register your module name in the config main.php (modules array)

Create a model via Model Generator. Fill in the fields and put this in Model Path : application.modules.[module-name].models

Create crud via Crud Generator. Fill in the fields and put this in Model Class: [module-name].models.[model-name]
