First attempt at custom logic in on_after_save function b/w 2 Advanced Modules
I have 2 model files that are each contained in separate advanced module directories. The first one is an "invoices" model and the second is a "check_receipts" model. The goal is when creating a check receipt, a form field to store the invoice number will trigger the invoice with that number in the invoices model to update its status field to "paid".
I want to use the on_after_save function to update the invoice to paid when a check receipt is saved with the invoice number that matches an invoice in the database. Since they are in separate advanced module directories, I'm running into trouble figuring out how I would relate these two models together. In the form_fields method of the example articles_model it loads in the authors, categories and categories_to_articles models using:
I get an error when trying to load the invoices model from the check_receipts model because the invoices_model.php is located in a different spot than where the check_receipts model file resides.
Is there an additional argument I can pass to the $CI->load->model() function call to designate where to look for it?

Comments
// Load Invoices Model $CI->load->module_model(CORPORATE_PARTNERS_FOLDER, 'invoices_model' );An additional question at this point then is:
Does the proper functioning of the $this->save_related() function depend on loading in the module's model file in the form_fields() method? I assume so since nowhere else in the example articles_model.php file does it appear to me that the connection to the 'categories_to_articles_model' is defined.
