Uses Updater?
- Yes
The following features are added, changed or solved in the latest version:
* Option to remove the print parameter in the url
* Adapted plugin for Joomla 2.5 and 3.0
* Remove special javascript content type around scripts to prevent problems with IE
* Support for https
The syntax is {component url='' }
Replace with the url to your component and include index.php?
For example:
{component url='index.php?option=com_component&Itemid=73¶meters....' }
You maybe need to change the url when using an SEF component. If you get a component not found when using SEF url then use the normal url. So not:
Contact-Us/category/
but:
index.php?option=com_contact&lang=en&view=category
You can make a hidden menu item so you can configure components with their menu parameters and copy the generated link to the url parameter of the plugin.
You should add the menu id as a parameter to the url for the plugin, for example:
index.php?option=com_contact&lang=en&view=category&Itemid=63
I initially downloaded this plugin because I wanted to display the registration view of the users component in a module. I thought I would have to hack the plugin to do this (run the replace inside the onAfterRender method on the rendered content)...
But then to my delight and surprise when I was adding a Custom HTML Module for the plugin tag I noticed this wonderful setting: "Prepare Content".
Enabling this setting means that the Custom Html Module content will run thru the onPrepareContent method! To explain this in plain english to you non-programmers out there:
This means that you can output a component in modules as well as articles! Just put the tag in a Custom HTML module and activate the Prepare Content setting in the options tab.
Kudos for this great and useful plugin!

This is a very very useful and good plugin.
Simple to use and works very well!
The way of documentation is not so well styled, but enough.
Quick help and support even this is a free plugin.
Thanks very much for this little piece of gold for Joomla!

I'm new in joomla, i come from wordpress and i land in joomla because i had to fill a website with content. The way joomla works is quite different than wordpress, so at the beginning i spent lots of hours learning joomla. One of the things that was driving me crazy was how to include a component in an article... i did manually the first time but this was not good because when you upodate something in the component it was not updated in the article.... so i looked for a better solution, and the i found this plugin :)
This extension is very easy to use, and it works perfect. I recommend this extension to everybody!
By the way, i used the extension in a site for coworking project among several schools from Spain. They wanted to to have a list of contact and a list of documents. This is what i used the plugin with... contacts and documents.
Thanks for this extension!

I tried this plugin and firstly I thought there is something wrong (only first embedded component appeared on page). I wrote an e-mail to the developer, he checked my page and sent the solution quickly. It turned out, that the problem was caused by the template css limits.
Great plugin and support!

This plugin allowed me to run two separate components under alternative navigational bars that I have setup, which was not possible before. I've very happy with it. The support that Mike provided was outstanding as well, he was able to guide me through the process even though his plugin was functionally perfect.
Nice plugin, this help me to put some forms on some articles. :D
Plugin works great for my in Joomla 2.5. I link content_builder component view into article. At the beginning a had some problems but after contacting with Mark (autor of the plugin) all my problems were solved. Mark is very helpful and he responses very quickly. Great job! Thanks a lot.
I wanted to use the plugin together with the vipportfolio component, but no matter what I did it just showed the syntax line in the frontend. After hours of spending on the internet looking for a solution, I contacted Mike yesterday evening and just received the answer this morning. It turned out that it was a little syntax mistake caused by the CK-Editor, but Mike sent me an updated Version of the plugin and now its working perfectly!!! Outstanding support, very useful plugin
Install it, add syntax, it works. . . mostly.
No doubt, this is a very complicated thing to accomplish, and no doubt, bugs and funny situations will creep up.
I have a few funny things happening, but still am very happy with this. surprised to see it is the only one for 2.5

A great little plugin that saved me hours of custom coding. I was using Community builder and the advanced search component/module. The search module worked but would display results in the module position, so hence i would get 25 results in a very narrow area making the page ridiculously long.
If only I could get the module to display the results in the component area, as the adv search component does.
This plugin allowed that to happen, the component functions perfect in the module posistion.
Thanks to the developer.

What this plugin provides should be a standard feature. Can anyone give me a reason why it isn't?
I'm really grateful the author wrote this. Excellent.
I had one issue: a component appeared twice on a page.
Here comes the author's support: Problem reported Friday night, fixed update delivered Saturday early morning ...
