I'm building a application where I give the admin the option to activate/deactivate modules using the web administration so he doesn't have to edit the configuration files manually so I need to know what modules are inside the module/ folder. I could parse the folder and see what's inside but it may be a better solution.

Something like Yii::app ()->getModules () but with a result which includes the loaded/unloaded modules. Is there such a method I can use?

Did you try that? I think that exact method should be available: http://www.yiiframew...tModules-detail (CApplication extends CModule).

Yii::app ()->getModules () only returns the modules which are manually added in the config file:

'modules'=>array('forum',...)

But this is not very friendly for noobs so I need a way to know exactly all the modules available in the modules/ dir...loaded or not.

try this:

  /**
   * Find a module searching in application modules and if it's not found there
   * looks in modules' modules
   * @param String $moduleID The model to find
   * @return The module, if it's found else null
   */
  public static function findModule($moduleID) {
    if(Yii::app()->getModule($moduleID)) {
      return Yii::app()->getModule($moduleID);
    }
    $modules = Yii::app()->getModules();
    foreach ($modules as $mod=>$conf) {
      if(Yii::app()->getModule($mod)) {
        return self::findInModule(Yii::app()->getModule($mod), $moduleID);
      }
    }
    return null;
  }

  /**
   * Search for a child module
   * @param String $parent The parent module
   * @param String $moduleID The module to find
   * @return The module, if it's not found returns null
   */
  private static function findInModule($parent, $moduleID) {
    if ($parent->getModule($moduleID)) {
      return $parent->getModule($moduleID);
    } else {
      $modules = $parent->getModules();
      foreach ($modules as $mod => $conf) {
        return $this->findInModule($parent->getModule($mod), $moduleID);
      }
    }
    return null;
  }

This is a findModule function. I need something that returns all the available modules not a find function.
