Re: [jgen] Get module paremeters from elsewhere!!!

[fornandakishore]

Hello Harmer,

Try to use this code ...

jimport('joomla.application.module.helper');
$module = JModuleHelper::getModule('mod_login', 'YourModuleTitle');
//echo JModuleHelper::renderModule($module);

I hope this code will help you to give the specified module parameter in any component, module and plugin.

 

Thanks & Regards

Hi all,

I have a custom module with custom paramaters which I'd like to be able to get from either a plugin (non-related) or from the modules helper file.

The reason being is that these paramaters can/will be used by other extensions.

I've googled and cannot find anything that works; I can only load the modules parameters from the modules own tmpl file or the modules own definition file!

Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Best regards,
K...

Because joomla doesn't provide a way to get the params by module id (mostly you don't have the module title!!) I get it from the table directly

$db = JFactory::getDbo();

$query = $db->getQuery(true);

$query->select('m.*');

$query->from('#__modules AS m');

$query->where('id = '.JRequest::getInt('moduleid'));

$db->setQuery($query);

$module = $db->loadObject();

$params = new JRegistry($module->params);

I also don't like to get it form the database rather than via API, but I was searching up and down for a function to get the params by module id via API.

It seems that module parameters are being loaded as string in
JModuleHelper::getModule().

You could convert these to a JRegistry using:

// Get First module
$module = JModuleHelper::getModule('mod_login')

// Get module parameters
$params = new JRegistry;
$params->loadString($module->params);


But, as Allon Moritz mentioned this doesn't filter module by id and
'title' is up to user.

If you are inside the module itself, you may use $params variable.

I guess it was an unlikely scenario to prepare loading module
paramaters for other reasons that in template positions or inside a
module.

IMHO it's not possible to use module parameters from another extension.
Wich module? You can have a couple of them if the user clicks on the
Duplicate button. You do not have any unique identifier, On a private
site you can hardcode it but not for a general solution. I guess you'll
need a small backend component to set the needed general parameters.

Using module params from one module would work for a specific design, as to get the specific module instance you have to set type of module and title, but if the user has 2 modules, or if the user changes the module title, this will not work.

Obviously solution provided by Allon Moritz will work too, as far as you know the specific module id.

All best!!

I think it would be better to set these parameters in a component. This way you guarantee that not matter what user makes with the module, your parameters will remain the same.
