getmodel() argument 'ignore_request'

[souleye]

hi all, after a few years hiatus I'm getting back to developing for joomla. I'm trying to learn how to develop components. on the getmodel() method there's an argument array('ignore_request' => true) I don't understand that part 'ignore_request => true' if anyone can explain that to me, I'll appreciate it. thanks.

Joomla Models have a method called populateState() that is automatically called if that flag is not set.

The following automatically call the models populateState() method which usually includes some state setters based on the request.
$model = JModel::getInstance('MyModel', 'XYZModel');
$item = $model->getItem();

The following allows you to ignore the request and set your own state setters
$model = JModel::getInstance('MyModel', 'XYZModel', array('ignore_request'=>true));
$model->setState('filter.id', 123);
$item = $model->getItem();

thanks a lot. I tried to go to doc.joomla.org but it's very depressing. you can hardly find anything useful. makes me wonder how you guys got to know what you know. I got this from the book 'joomla programming' but they didn't think it was worthwhile explaining it. that's enough for me to work with.
