Question

How do I get the module parameter inside a component in Joomla 1.5? I am using this code but it displays an empty result.

jimport( 'joomla.application.module.helper' );
$module = &JModuleHelper::getModule( 'mod_used_car_image');

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

print_r($params);

You need to call the ‘name’ of your module, not the ‘type’ of module.

Let’s say you named your module ‘Used Car Image’, your code should be:

jimport( 'joomla.application.module.helper' );
$module = &JModuleHelper::getModule( 'Used Car Image');

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

print_r($params);

Here’s the manual:
