how to use a controller from another module in Angular-ui-Bootstrap's modal?

I have a dialog I want to use in two different places, so I've built a template and a controller trackCtrl for a modal to use. That controller is defined on the settingsApp module which is not the one launching the modal, so I would like to do something like this:

var modalInstance = $modal.open({
     templateUrl: 'templates/track.html',
     controller: 'settingsApp.trackCtrl'
});

but it fails of course.

What is the best way to solve this problem?

thanks!

The problem was that the js file defining the controller was never run. (The controller should be referred to simply by its name.)

Just add a dependency to your other module and then just simply use that controller name.

angular('app', ['settingsApp']);

var modalInstance = $modal.open({
     templateUrl: 'templates/track.html',
     controller: 'trackCtrl'
});
