Joomla! Issue Tracker | Joomla! CMS #19540 - Parameter in a componets default.xml file are not sourced anymore

You have an XML file of a component using paramater e.g in
components\com_fileuploader\views\fileuploader\tmpl\default.xml:

when you load your model and you want to get the parameters from the XML doing:

$app = JFactory::getApplication('site');
$params = $app->getParams('com_fileuploader');
$rubrik = $params->get('rubrik'); // => Retruns null

$rubrik has the parameter specified in the XML of the component

$rubrik is empty

The file
components/com_fileuploader/views/fileuploader/tmpl/default.xml
are parameters of a menu item
they are not parameters of the component

Parameters of componet are
administrator/components/com_fileuploader/config.xml

You can ask more in forums, https://forum.joomla.org

I can't reproduce it with com_content. So it is either something with your extension or a misunderstanding (as @ggppdk indicated).

I'm closing this as non-core issue. If you can reproduce it in core, feel free to reopen.

Probably you have some parameters with
-- same name in component configuration and in menu item configuration

and the above has caused some confusion
if the parameters name are the same then yes
... you will not get a parameter value ...
