  It sounds like you want a similar structure as Blog Module:
  https://github.com/daylightstudio/FUEL-CMS-Blog-Module/tree/develop
  
  Note that there is a config/blog_routes.php file which creates the routes for the Posts, Comments, etc simple modules. In addition, there is a config/blog_fuel_modules.php file used to setup the module.
  
  And yes, Fuel_base_controller or a controller extending that, should be used for backend controllers because it has authentication and rendering methods using the Fuel_admin class.

  Thank U!
  Blog module is very useful. I study the advanced modules using this module.
  I just had a little hitch with routing.
  And now all works fine.
  //for backend Fuel_base_controller $route[FUEL_ROUTE.'charters/aircrafts'] = CHARTERS_FOLDER.'/charters_aircrafts'; $route[FUEL_ROUTE.'charters/aircrafts/(.*)'] = CHARTERS_FOLDER.'/charters_aircrafts/$1 .... // Front-end public controller CI_Controller $route['service'] = CHARTERS_FOLDER.'/charters_service'; $route['service/(.*)'] = CHARTERS_FOLDER.'/charters_service/$1'; ....
  
  The other thing I'm want to CRUD with buttons bar on top and search, reset, limit form like on blog or pages module.
  As I understand I can use for this purposes blocks from fuel/view/_blocks: module_list_table.php, module_create_edit_actions.php and module_list_actions.php - this blocks will works only if in my controllers exists methond like 'save', etc. I found check for module action in $this->fuel->auth->module_has_action('save') if my controller have method 'save', save button will be visible?
  Or better create own new blocks with buttons bar, table for CRUD?

  The fuel/modules/fuel/controllers/module.php controller handles the rendering of those pages, coupled the Fuel_admin class:
  http://docs.getfuelcms.com/libraries/fuel_admin
  
  To have the save button appear, you'll need to have an item_actions parameter specified on your simple module that includes "save" which they all do by default unless overwritten:
  http://docs.getfuelcms.com/modules/simple
  
  The module parameters get transferred as properties of the $CI object which is the module controller so it can be access in the Fuel_auth::module_has_action method as $this->CI->item_actions.

  Hi! Thanks for reply!
  This trick just for simple modules or I can use it with advanced modules?
  My admin module controllers extends Fuel_base_controller and Fuel_base_controller extendsF uel_admin, so this trick must work?

  Fuel_base_controller doesn't extend Fuel_admin, it just uses it in the constructor. If you want to see what it does, it is located at fuel/modules/fuel/libraries/Fuel_base_controller.php

  Hi!
  
  I understand!
  This admin CRUD is created automatically from my model (extends Base_module_model)! I don't need use controllers to create admin CRUD. It's cool!

  And I have a question again
  
  My table have several foreign keys. Problem is I need use join to one table twice.
  
  I use list_items method in my model
  
  Two fields: departure and destination is foreign keys to airports table.
  I use:
  $this->db->join('airports', 'airports.id = routes.departure_airport', 'left'); // for departure
  
  But I need the same for destination point. If I use the same code - gets Database Error.

  I got it.
  Needs to add an alias for join
  $this->db->join('airports dep', 'dep.id = routes.departure_airport', 'left');
  
  and use dep.id inthread of airports.id

  Hm...
  I noticed that for INT field created input type="number" max="10" for any integer length.
  Is it bug or I need redefine this default value?

  You can redefine the value by passing 'max' => {yourvalue} in your form_fields model method:
  function form_fields($values = array(), $related_values = array()) { $fields = parent::form_fields($values, $related_values); $fields['my_field_name']['max'] = {yourvalue}; .... return $fields; }
