Get Title from ID

Question

In a plugin I need to get the Title (from Article or Menu or Modules) from a given ID. I am using the following code and it's working but I would like to know if it is correct doing this way or is a better/more proper way of doing it. Thank you.

$id      // ID from menu, article or module
$context // could be menu, content or module

$apk = JTable::getInstance($context);
$apk->load($id);
$title = $apk->get('title');

Answer 1

You could try something like the following:

public function onYOURFUNCTION($context, &$article, &$params)
{
    $id   = JFactory::getApplication()->input->getInt('id');
    $load = $article->load($id);

    echo $load->get('title');
}

or if you want to go down to JTable route:

public function onYOURFUNCTION($context, &$article, &$params)
{
    $input = JFactory::getApplication()->input->getInt('id');
    $table = JTable::getInstance('content');
    $table->load($id);

    echo $table->get('title');
}

Hope this helps
