widget within module in Yii
- by Karolis
I'm trying to create a widget within the module and then load that widget from 'outside' of the module. More particularly I'm using user module written by someone else. I don't want to have a separate page for displaying a login form, therefore I tried to make a CPortlet/widget (confusion) displaying the login form. Basically, I've moved the code from LoginController into that widget. Then I try to display the widget on some random page by
<?php $this->widget('user.components.LoginForm'); ?>
However, I get an error
CWebApplication does not have a method named "encrypting".
in UserIdentity class in this line:
else if(Yii::app()->controller->module->encrypting($this->password)!==$user->password)
This happens, because I'm basically trying to execute this code within context of the app and not the module. Thus the "Yii::app()-controller-module" trick doesn't really work as expected.
What am I doing wrong:-\
Is there a better way to achieve this. I.e. display that login form in some other page, which is normally displayed by accessing login controller within user module (user/login) or is a widget the right way of doing it?
Thanks.
