noob question - Getting data from another module

Code: Select all

		$this->load->language('extension/module/category2');
		
		if (isset($this->request->get['path'])) {
			$path = '';
			$parts = explode('_', (string)$this->request->get['path']);

			$category_id = (int)array_pop($parts);
			foreach ($parts as $path_id) {
				if (!$path) {
					$path = (int)$path_id;
				} else {
					$path .= '_' . (int)$path_id;
				}
				$category_info = $this->model_catalog_category->getCategory($path_id);
			}
		} else {
			$category_id = 0;
		}
		
		$category_info = $this->model_catalog_category->getCategory($category_id);
		if ($category_info) {
			$data['heading_title'] = $category_info['name'];
			$this->document->setDescription($category_info['meta_description']);
			$data['description'] = html_entity_decode($category_info['description'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
			
	
			$filter_data = array(
				'filter_category_id' => $category_id,
			);
			
			$product_total = $this->model_catalog_product->getTotalProducts($filter_data);
			$data['product_total'] = $product_total;
			
		}

		return $this->load->view('extension/module/category2', $data);
	}
