Introduction<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

In this blog we will learn about using a Joomla model outside the scope of a component. As you must be already knowing about\u00a0JModelLegacy Class\u00a0of Joomla which provides methods to get Model, but it has some limits as you cannot access all models using this JModelLegacy::getInstance(\u00a0).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Solution – Admin<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

To get all models of any component you have to create your own function, it is recommended to create a static helper function, as you may need to use the function at several places.<\/p>\n
