Advanced module functionality in front controller?

  Couple questions:
  
  1. Do the view files live in the store module (e.g. fuel/modules/store/views/my_view.php) or your application directory (fuel/application/views/my_view.php)?
  2. Are you using $this->load->view('store/my_view', $vars) or $this->load->module_view('store', 'my_view', $vars)

  They live in the module (store/views/catalog.php).
  
  In the catalog.php controller (fuel/modules/store/controllers/catalog.php) i'm using: $this->load->module_view(STORE_FOLDER, 'catalog', $vars);

  Progress:
  
  I'm able to get the catalog into the now "shop" controller/view in the application:
  
  function index()
  {
  $this->load->library('store/fuel_store');
  $vars['catalog'] = $this->fuel_store->get_catalog();
  
  $page_init = array('location' => 'shop');
  $this->load->module_library(FUEL_FOLDER, 'fuel_page', $page_init);
  $this->fuel_page->add_variables($vars);
  $this->fuel_page->render();
  }
  
  I think what I was missing was instantiating the 'fuel_store' lib rather than the module itself, which is where I was confused. Now i'm hoping to load the module view(s) into the application view somehow. Something to do w/ load->module_view in the application controller?

  You can use the module name 'app' to reference the application folder:
  $this->load->module_view('app', 'my_view', $vars);
