To retreive a param I use:
$myparam = JComponentHelper::getParams('com_mycomponent')->get('myparam'); But what is the right method to store a component's param?
- I mean apart from using the Options buttonCOBIZ webdevelopment– COBIZ webdevelopment2015-04-04 19:09:28 +00:00Commented Apr 4, 2015 at 19:09
- If you aren't using the options button, how are you getting the value that you want to store?David Fritsch– David Fritsch2015-04-05 04:00:21 +00:00Commented Apr 5, 2015 at 4:00
- Don't really understand your question. From any location, in another components controller for example, I would like to set a new value to some other components param.COBIZ webdevelopment– COBIZ webdevelopment2015-04-05 05:16:21 +00:00Commented Apr 5, 2015 at 5:16
- You could try to build a component using component-creator.com and view the code it generates when adding parameters to your component.Søren Beck Jensen– Søren Beck Jensen2015-04-06 10:56:52 +00:00Commented Apr 6, 2015 at 10:56

Many of our component's parameters depend on external conditions, so we need to periodically change them with some overnight processing. Here's the code we use (adapted for use with com_content).
// Load the current component params. $params = JComponentHelper::getParams('com_content'); // Set new value of param(s) $params->set('show_title', 1); // Save the parameters $componentid = JComponentHelper::getComponent('com_content')->id; $table = JTable::getInstance('extension'); $table->load($componentid); $table->bind(array('params' => $params->toString())); // check for error if (!$table->check()) { echo $table->getError(); return false; } // Save to database if (!$table->store()) { echo $table->getError(); return false; } 
- 1Thanks. This looks very great! So I was not overlooking an existing method, it really needs some extra code indeed. I'll markt your answer GOOD asap, when I have tested it. (But since you're already using this, It probably is the right answer anyway)COBIZ webdevelopment– COBIZ webdevelopment2015-04-05 13:14:40 +00:00Commented Apr 5, 2015 at 13:14
