Question

Using the Andrew Eddie’s tutorials here I am working on building some custom code for menus. Here we go:

$query ->select('id, menutype, title')
       ->from('#__menu_types')
       ->where('menutype='.$somemenu);
    $db->setQuery($query);

I don’t know how to load one object value like I used to do it with Joomla 1.5:

$result = $db->loadObject();
$thetitle = $result->title; // I need this value and I always get error "Notice: Trying to get property of non-object" at this line

How can I SUCCESSFULLY get the value of $thetitle please?

Answer 1

The correct query is

$query ->select('id, menutype, title')
       ->from('#__menu_types')
       ->where('menutype='.$db->quote($somemenu));
    $db->setQuery($query);

Now I can get the values of the query correctly.
