My question would be why you need the module params in com_ajax. Can't you pass the needed information in the AJAX request? That's what I would do.

If you for some reason really need the module id in the module output itself, just use $module->id. The $module object is available in each module. No need to hack something together there.
You can then pass this ID in your AJAX request just fine.

just add one more parameter with module title to the request, eg: &title=blabla
and JModuleHelper::getModule will give you what you want:

$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$module = JModuleHelper::getModule('mod_mymodule' , $app->input->getString('title'));
var_dump($module->params);

hi,
you cannot use $module = JModuleHelper::getModule('mod_mymodule' , $app->input->getString('title')); - I tested this:

1. $app->input->getString('title') will return "NULL"
2. $module = JModuleHelper::getModule('mod_mymodule") will return the first module found, if more than one module of same name is in #_modules.

Solution with $module->id does work!!! This fixes my problem Thanks a lot.

@jschmi01

before use $app->input->getString('title') you must add it to your request URL
index.php?option=com_ajax&module=<Module Name>&title=<Module Title>&Itemid=<Active Menu ID>&format=<Format raw or json>
do not be lazy

Hi,

I ran into the same issue. Wouldn't it be much better if we could call JModuleHelper::getModule() with the module id instead of it's title? Using an alphanumeric string is less reliable imho that passing an id. I tried to pass the title in the com_ajax request (along with option, cmd etc.) and it doesn't work, but passing an id does work. So as for now I'm passing the id and then running and extra query in order to retrieve the title again. A bit of a waste of resources.

Passing the module title in the url as suggested by Fedik also seems a bit of a detour to me.

Kind regards, Frits

hi,

I agree to your solution - there should be a method to get module's
properties via it's id and/or title. e.g.
"JModuleHelper::getModule($title, $id)"

Hi jschmi01,

Thx for your reply. Would there be some way to reopen this issue, as it is closed now?

Up up!

"JModuleHelper::getModule($name, $id)"
