How to call others modules outside current?...

[ginnk]

Hello, I have a question about the general programming in Zend framework..

Its about acces other modules from the current module. One example: I have two modules: articles modules and comments modules. The two modules in diferent paths so differents url to acces.Then, I acces to module article and I wana get the comments, so I need to acces comments module from the article one.

Seems like gurus in Zend say that the estrategy to acces other modules outside the current is not a good practise, but I think is really needed, otherwise the modularity will not be succesful.

What do u think about it? Its a good practise or not to acces other modules, if not, could u explain a way to do the example?

I hope to be clear on my question.. Thanks to everybody

Hello,
You can create models and then get the data you need via those models.
