Is it possible to pass arguments to controller action methods, like

public function someAction($myArgument) { ... }

Or is using JInput the only way?

Edit: Using a URL like option=com_mycomponent&task=mycontroller.someaction&myargument=asd

  • Where are you calling it, from an URL, or another function?

  • well then I think only using JInput or a session variable previously stored. Maybe if you explain some more what do you want to achieve maybe we can help you out.

  • You can override the execute method and add something like callBindedFunction at github.com/joomplace/JooYii/blob/master/Helper.php

No, there isn't a way to pass arguments into methods. Specifically, this has to do with how JControllerLegacy::execute() routes the request. So you're left with using the request or session to fetch your needed data.
