Access module within a module

[opalepatrick]

Is it possible to access a modules output from within another module. I am trying to access Formbuilder output in a function for a sales admin module that I am building. Any how-to's or pointers appreciated.

Maybe write a hook for FB, and inside that hook you pass the output to your sales module?  Just remember to use wire('modules') instead of $modules...

When you say "function", do you mean your own custom PW module, or just a function in your template(s) ?

Hi @opalepatrick, your can load your module anywhere and then call one of its methods:

$myModule = $modules->get('MyGreatModule');
$myModule->greatRender(); //call whatever method of the module

It's probably helpful to have a look at $modules API to get more details. Also this forum post could be useful:

Thank you both, I have now got something to work with. @dragan it is my own custom PW module that I wanted to access output from Formbuilder. I just couldn't work out a method. I will go and do some more work.

Hey @opalepatrick – just a heads-up that I'm moving this thread to the Module/Plugin Development area. The main "Modules" area is only intended for support threads of existing modules.
