Hi, I am new to fuelphp and basically the whole namespace thing.
Reading the docs, it seems creating modules is fairly easing. I somehow seem to mis something I believe. I created a module called 'admin' because I want to seperate all admin activities from the rest of the application.
In admin/classes/controller/ there is a controller class called admin.php:

<?php
namespace Admin;

class Controller_Admin extends \Controller
{

 /**
  * The basic welcome message
  * 
  * @access  public
  * @return  Response
  */
 public function action_index()
 {
  return \Response::forge(\ViewModel::forge('welcome/hello'));
 }

}

Upon visiting /admin/index I get the message: OutOfBoundsException [ Error ]: ViewModel "View_Welcome_hello" could not be found. Now I understand it means it can not find the viewModel but what would I need to do to make sure the module can find the view?
I have read the docs but can't find what I am doing wrong

If you want to return a viewmodel, you have to make the viewmodel class, in modules/admin/classes/view/welcome/hello.php if you use the name 'welcome/hello'. See http://docs.fuelphp.com/general/viewmodels.html which describes what a viewmodel is and how it works. If you want to return a view, don't forge a viewmodel, forge a view. Modules are like mini-apps, they are self-contained, and have their own classes and views folders, like your app. If you load a view from a module controller, it will look in the views folder of the module to load the view. If not found, it will check your app/views folder to see if there is a global view defined with the requested name.

Thanks for your response, yes I know that the view model has to be created and I have. The location of my view model is exactly : modules\admin\classes\view\welcome\hello.php
