Question

I have inserted the following line into my Joomla template:

<jdoc:include type="component" />

This will bring across the whole post, including the title of the article. How can I bring the featured article title across seperate to it’s body/content for styling purposes?

Thank you.

Answer 1

I just tested this code and it seems to work on Joomla 2.5.3:

$option = JRequest::getCmd('option');
$view = JRequest::getCmd('view');
if ($option=="com_content" && $view=="article") {
  $ids = explode(':',JRequest::getString('id'));
  $article_id = $ids[0];
  $article =& JTable::getInstance("content");
  $article->load($article_id);
  echo $article->get("title");
  echo $article->get("introtext"); // and/or fulltext
}
