Replacing JRequest (deprecated) with JInput

Question

I believe JRequest is depreciated and should be replaced with Jinput, however when I change the following code:

$limit = JRequest::getInt('limit', $app->get('list_limit'));
$this->setState('list.limit', $limit);         
$limitstart = JRequest::getInt('limitstart', 'limitstart', 0);

to this:

$jinput = JFactory::getApplication()->input;
$limit = jinput::getInt('limit', $app->get('list_limit'));
$this->setState('list.limit', $limit);         
$limitstart = jinput::getInt('limitstart', 'limitstart', 0);

It doesn't work.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

Reason why you're code isn't working is because you haven't called the $jinput variable correctly. Also, getInt is not a static function, therefore should not be called statically.

So replace this:

$jinput = JFactory::getApplication()->input;
$limit = jinput::getInt('limit', $app->get('list_limit'));
$this->setState('list.limit', $limit);         
$limitstart = jinput::getInt('limitstart', 'limitstart', 0);

with this:

$jinput = JFactory::getApplication()->input;
$limit = $jinput->getInt('limit', $app->get('list_limit'));
$this->setState('list.limit', $limit);         
$limitstart = $jinput->getInt('limitstart', 'limitstart', 0);

I'm surprised you didn't get any errors when viewing the site. So in future, please set Error Reporting on your Global Configuration to Development
