Articles Anywhere



Articles Anywhere is a plugin that allows you to insert articles anywhere on your site. So you can place articles inside modules or in other components or where ever.
You can place articles using the syntax:
* Using the title of the article: {article Some article}...{/article}
* Using the alias of the article: {article some-article}...{/article}
* Using the id of the module: {article 123}...{/article}
Within those tags you can place different tags to place different article data/details:
* {text} (the entire text: introtext+fulltext)
* {readmore} (a read more link)
* {url} (the url to the article)
* {link}...{/link} (tags to add a link to the article to anything within the tags)
* {introtext}
* {fulltext}
* {title}
* {id}
* Or any other data available (must match the column name in the database)
When showing text (all text, introtext or fulltext), you can also make the tag only show a certain amount of characters:
{text:100} (shows the first 100 characters of the entire text)
When showing read more link, you can also overrule the standard "Read more..." text:
{readmore:Please read on!}
Articles Anywhere also comes with an editor button to make inserting these tags easy.

This week, I needed to insert a quiz into a module position. I could only find one quiz extension that was perfect for the project, but it only came with a component and a plugin.
In the end I was able to insert the quiz into a Joomla article via the quiz plugin and then insert the whole thing into a module via Articles Anywhere. It sounds complex, but thanks to NoNumber it only took a few minutes :)
Although I was very surprised on today’s visit to the NoNumber website. The new site looks great! I am glad to see that the licensing/business model has changed. The extensions still have a free version, but now there is a pro version available with extended features and prioritized tech support.
At first finding out about the licensing model I was worried that NoNumber might have started using Zend or ionCube. I had issues before with developers that encrypted their extensions. Reading through the Pre-sales questions, specifically “Can I alter the code” Peter’s answer is “The extensions are fully open source and the code is NOT encrypted in any way. No use of Zend Optimizer or Ioncude.”. Awesome!!!
When I started building websites for fun the free extensions were nice, I was able to learn with a minimal out of pocket costs. Now that I also have changed my business model I am more comfortable with using the pro/paid versions. Not that I’ve needed support from NoNumber, but it’s a nice feeling to know the support is there. Not to mention if the developer is making money they will be around for a while. Nothing worse than getting comfortable with an extension and the developer falls of the face of the earth.
Good job Peter, keep up the outstanding work! Looking forward to using your extensions on future sites.
no surprise if you have tried other extensions by NoNumber!
You guys really do make some really great, amazingly useful extensions for Joomla.
Please keep up the great works!
Thank you very much.
I have never once had to ask for support from NoNumber from ANY extension of theirs that I have used. They use clean, efficient, well-documented and easy-to-follow code. If every developer on the JED produced extensions like this, building sites in Joomla would be a piece of cake! Great job by NoNumber on this extension!!!
I find myself coming up with all kinds of creative ways of using it to integrate categorically disparate articles, and by doing so, greatly enhance the user experience of the website. It's become one of a handful of extensions that I install on all my Joomla! websites by default.
Even better than it's usefulness is its ease of use! Install, enable, and use. It's that simple - there's no configuration necessary; no stylesheets to play with to get it to look good on your website - nothing. It simply works.
The only thing I did have a problem with is the directions for getting started are a bit unclear (especially for noobs like me!)....but after I got it figured out....my publishing issues were nonexistent. Thanks a lot for creating this extension!
Please contact me about what you find unclear and how I can improve that.
Personally I think the info on the site and in the plugin description and the functionality of the editor button make it pretty straightforward.
Then it must have taken 3 minutes to download and install Article Anywhere and get my article published in the position I wanted.
Add custom module, click on Insert Article button below.
The best part of this plugin, is it's free. I hope you will be repaid with good karma. Karma is better than cash.
Thank you very much :)
With the last update, Articles Anywhere got a VERY important addition: You can use it to create sidebars in your articles in just a few seconds!
I love small extensions like this that makes the flexibility of Joomla even greater. Looking forward to create more and better articles!
This extensions installs without problems, is easy to understand - and a little tip:
Go to the Plugin Manager and open the Editor plugin for Articles Anywhere - you can choose all the default settings there so you do not have to change things like using K2 instead of Joomla Content every time you want to use it.
