Hi,

I'm migrating my Joomla modules to support Joomla 1.5 natively. I'm not an experienced php / Joomla coder, though I've programmed web applications in various languages. I've nearly completed my first one, but I'm having problems accessing the database for some reason. Not sure if I have incorrect syntax or what might be wrong. Is there something wrong with the following code. Its always returning false.

Code: Select all

function &getItems(&$params)
	{
		$db =& JFactory::getDBO();
		$ids		= trim( $params->get('ids') );
		//$sql = 'SELECT id, title FROM '.$db->nameQuote('#__content').' WHERE id in '.$ids;
		$sql = 'SELECT id, title FROM #__content WHERE id in '.$ids;
		echo JText::_($sql);
		if ($instance = $db->loadObjectList())
		{
			return $instance;	
		}
		else
		{
			return false;
		}
	}

Ok ... that was stupid. I'm missing the setQuery call. This works better:

Code: Select all

function &getItems(&$params)
	{
		$db =& JFactory::getDBO();
		$ids		= trim( $params->get('ids') );
				$sql = 'SELECT id, title FROM #__content WHERE id in '.$ids;
		$db->setQuery($sql);
		if ($instance = $db->loadObjectList())
		{
			return $instance;	
		}
		else
		{
			return false;
		}
	}
