Функция получения Joomla JInput не извлекает переменные

Я возвращаюсь с другой проблемой.

Я пытаюсь получить некоторые значения из формы POST в моем контроллере, используя JInput. Проблема в том, что метод не возвращает никакого значения. Дело в том, что когда я пытаюсь сбросить переменную, значения существуют во входном объекте.

Вот некоторый код.

Контроллер.

public function save($key = null, $urlVar = null){
    $result = parent::save($key, $urlVar);

    $request =  JFactory::getApplication()->input;
    $requestTitle = $request->get('title', 'default title','string');
    $requestAnnouncement = $request->get('announcement', 'default announcement', 'string');
    //$requestGroups = JRequest::getVar('groups', array(), 'post','array');

    //$recepients = $this->_getUserEmailsAndNamesFromGroup($requestGroups);
    ob_start();
    var_dump($request);
    $data = ob_get_clean();
    $mailSent = $this->_sendEmail(
                                    array(
                                        'title'=>$requestTitle, 
                                        'announce'=>$data), 

                                    array('[email protected]')
                                );

    if(!$result || !$mailSent){
        $this->setRedirect(
            JRoute::_(
                'index.php?option=' . $this->option . '&view=announces', false
            )
        );
    }

    return $result;
}

И свалка.
