Create Module Inside Another Module

[xxMAGRAOxx]

I want to install(or download in that case) the module cron job when the user install my module.

I know if i mimic the functionality of the AdminModuleController i'll get, but if have an native way to do that will be better.

 

Anybody have an idea?

here is idea to check if supporting feature (module) installed and enabled, this information could be relayed back to shop manger via your module configuration.

if (!Module::isInstalled($this->name) || !Module::isEnabled($this->name))
   issue message in 'other' module configuration to ensured module installed and enabled
else
   all good!

also it's possible to have (used to anyway) to have more than zip file, i.e. two modules in one, I have not re-tested this for a number of years.

in some of my work that supported cron activation, I do 'not' use cron module, rather instructions on link to my modules cron process...now that I think of it..that was a rocking solution...lol
