Hi,

I've just installed Your component and module - and they are very easy to start using - really nice work

I have some php-pages gerated using http://www.bigprof.com/appgini/ php code generator, which creates applications based on sql - for instance a DVD database - book catalogue and such. Doing some minor adhustments I succeded in launching the app - and activate some simple security to prevent direct access to applications.

I have one major problem.. The generated application includes lists of data with navigation (page back - forward, go-to and so on) as well as search and sorting options. The layout is based on FORMS, and basically the same form is called, and when generated agin, HTTP_POST_VARS are used for dataselection.

Can I somehow access those in the module?? Using some of Your tips, I've managed to get the pages reloaded (using components joomlalink), but content is the same - i.e. - parametrs are not recognized.
As You can see I'm absolutely no php expert, so this might be caused by all sorts of basic misunderstanding - but I would very much like a 'hint' if You can help..

Parameter retrieval is part of a include ph module like this:

function Render()
{
// get post and get variables
global $HTTP_SERVER_VARS, $HTTP_GET_VARS, $HTTP_POST_VARS, $_SERVER, $Translation;

if($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "GET"
{
$SortField = $HTTP_GET_VARS["SortField"];
$SortDirection = $HTTP_GET_VARS["SortDirection"];
$FirstRecord = $HTTP_GET_VARS["FirstRecord"];
$ScrollUp_y = $HTTP_GET_VARS["ScrollUp_y"];
$ScrollDn_y = $HTTP_GET_VARS["ScrollDn_y"];
$Previous_x = $HTTP_GET_VARS["Previous_x"];
$Next_x = $HTTP_GET_VARS["Next_x"];

$Search_x = $HTTP_GET_VARS["Search_x"];
$SearchString = $HTTP_GET_VARS["SearchString"];


$Print_x = $HTTP_GET_VARS["Print_x"];
$SelectedID = $HTTP_GET_VARS["SelectedID"];
$insert_x = $HTTP_GET_VARS["insert_x"];
$update_x = $HTTP_GET_VARS["update_x"];
$delete_x = $HTTP_GET_VARS["delete_x"];
$deselect_x = $HTTP_GET_VARS["deselect_x"];
}
else
{
$SortField = $HTTP_POST_VARS["SortField"];
$SortDirection = $HTTP_POST_VARS["SortDirection"];
$FirstRecord = $HTTP_POST_VARS["FirstRecord"];
$ScrollUp_y = $HTTP_POST_VARS["ScrollUp_y"];
$ScrollDn_y = $HTTP_POST_VARS["ScrollDn_y"];
$Previous_x = $HTTP_POST_VARS["Previous_x"];
$Next_x = $HTTP_POST_VARS["Next_x"];
$Search_x = $HTTP_POST_VARS["Search_x"];
$SearchString = $HTTP_POST_VARS["SearchString"];

$Print_x = $HTTP_POST_VARS["Print_x"];
$SelectedID = $HTTP_POST_VARS["SelectedID"];

}

I hope You are able to help!

Thx
Frank

OK, I found managed to find help on google. There is a Joomla fuction: JRequest::getVar( 'option', '' ); that does the trick!!

Check here for help

Good find.

Yes, Joomla 1.5, you need to use

JRequest::getVar( 'option', '' );

If you're on J1.0 you can use

mosGetParam($_REQUEST, 'option');

Both functions will strip HTML and quote the variable for you to make it more secure you use in XSS and SQL.

I ll try to sort out your problem but i in few hours because i think its a complicated error..so dear i ll catch you later..

extract($_POST);

then you dont have to use

<?= $_POST['mychoice']?>

you can just use

<?= $mychoice?>
