Retrieves data from a registered model.

This method can be used from the view to invoke data retrieval methods on the model. The method will invoke the specified ‘get’ method on the specified model. A call to get( ‘example’ ) will invoke the method getExample on the model. If no model is specified, the default model will be used. If the method does not exist on the specified model, then a warning will be raised.

If the specified model does not exist then the JObject::get() method will be invoked with the specified parameters.

The method returns the result of the model method call or false if the method failed.

Syntax

mixed &get ( $method, $model )

$method string is a string containing the name of the method to call on the model.
$model string is a string containing the name of the model to reference. This parameter is optional and if omitted the default model will be used.

Examples

If you had a model object with the following method:

JModel::getExample() method

function getExample() {
	return 'example';
}

you might call it in your view using:

Example

$example = $this->get('example');
