How to call Controller in Module?

Question

I'm very new to craft and I'm having trouble finding an answer to my question (I've scoured the questions on here - but the only answers appear to be for plugins).

Basically, I want to submit a form to an action in a controller - which will be inside a Module.

I have this form in a template:

<form method="post" action="" accept-charset="UTF-8"> <input type="hidden" name="action" value="site/say"> <input class="btn submit" type="submit" value="submit me"> </form>

I'm trying to get it to go to this controller (which is in modules/controllers/SiteController):

<?php

namespace app\controllers;

use yii\web\Controller;

class SiteController extends Controller
{
    // ...existing code...

    public function actionSay($message = 'Hello')
    {
        die('in say action');
    }
}

I'm constantly getting a 404 - I've tried different variations for the value of action, e.g. actions/site/say. Do I need to add a route somewhere like in Laravel? Really, really stuck on this, any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

You need to include your module handle to the route

module-handle/site/say

You also should use the correct namespace instead of app/controllers I suggest you to read the documentation

You can as well define a route if you like
