How can I create a valid article from my custom component?

[cowboymathu]

I want to create a valid article entry in the #__content table with all the dependencies by giving only 'title' from my custom component. Something like I want to call com_content component controller in my custom component and call save() method with title = "my value". I know how to call other component model in my component and get items but this time I want to create an entry of an article from my component.

You should try using the JTable classes as it's pretty handy when it comes to CRUD operations. For instance,

Code: Select all

$article = JTable::getInstance('Content');

var_dump($article);

// Save the article
$article->store();
