Plugin Include Component Plugin

This plugin is to include a component in an article without an iframe. So the links will work like in an normal page and styling of the site wil be used and also the style of the component.

Latest version 1.10 of the plugin is released.
This version solves some problems like forms without action defined, Joomla1.6/1.7 ' bug
Extra functionality automatic Joomla update

This version also is a native Joomla 1.7 version.

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&parameters....' }

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 parmeter to the url for the plugin, for example:
index.php?option=com_contact&lang=en&view=category&Itemid=63

I was trying to include a component in another component. This is the only plugin of its sort that made it possible since it holds control over crucial parameters - such as method (curl or file_get_contents), session (unbelievable!), excluding css and/or js, removing template...
With this plugin I was able to load and join the ProductBuilder component inside the VirtueMart product detail page - awesome!

Thank you very much!

This is definitely one of those, "Why didn't I find this 5 websites ago?!" extensions! I kept having to code-in stupid work-arounds to get articles and components to mesh up, but now I don't have to worry about it anymore! Ahhh, this is so amazing, I can't even express with words how happy this makes me! :)

Took a little dinking around in the beginning to get it to work (helps if you remember to enable the plugin...), but now it's working great. Absolutely fantastic!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

This plugin sure is a lifesaver. Had some troubles with the joomla 1.6 plugin version which I had installed on a joomla 1.7 installation. After contacting Mike Reumer about the problem he send me, within hours, the updated version of the plugin and an explanation how to use it.

Thanks!!!

I was looking for an option to put the component FlippingBook in an article between my texts.
Unfortunately this plugin didn’t work directly, because I used a template Artisteer 3.0.

One email to Mike was enough, he searched for the problem, solved it and explained it to me, so I knew exactly what the problem was.

Super service, great plugin! 2 thumbs up!

I installed this plugin a day ago to insert a weblinks category into an article. The component worked great although I had a small problem with my main menu not loading on that particular page. I emailed the developer for support and Mike emailed back instantly helping me solve my problem. A very useful plugin with great support from the developer. Thanks!

It didn't work out-of-the-box with Kide shoutbox, but the fix was pretty easy.
What I've met first when attempting to use this component - the whole component page (with modules, etc.) appeared in that frame O_o Fixed this via selecting popup version of Kide. Now works fine, the only minor drawback is some empty space above component. Still figuring out how to trim it, assuming I did smthing wrong :)
Another problem I got was "You are not logged in" which vanished after selecting cURL.
Nice work overall, though some things are unclear, there are not many variants on how to set the settings :)

Great plugin! It really did what it had to do!

If you have problems with your styles or your menu dissapears when seeing a section that uses this plugin, check the developer's webpage to see some troubleshooting documentation. That solve my issue. Or don't hesitate to write him using the contact form, the answer is really fast.

Thanks Mike!

Works exactly as stated. I found using it so easy, that it felt strange not having to fix ANYthing within it!

Keep up the good work.

I was wondering how to use that with Acepolls

i tryed that: {component url='index.php?option=com_acepolls&Itemid=1'}



But then i just get the list of Polls, instead of the poll with the id 1.

Hello Merlin,

Please send me an email for support.

Itemid is a parameter for a Joomla menu item and not a parameter for a item of component Acepolis. Best is to make a hidden menu item in Joomla and use the created link as a parameter for the plugin. Then you also can configure with this menu item the appearence of the component.

With this component, everything I run well on Wamp, but on IIS it breaks my CSS, so the layout got a litle messy, it would be fine when I remove {component url='url'} in Article.

Is there anyone have the same issue? Could you guys please help me to solve this?

Thanks,
Kayla

Looking for a way to use e.g. multi blog layouts on 1 page. This author knows what is needed and his support is even faster then on some membership pages. He answered right away and also takes a look at issues. This extension should be part of core or at least rated good since it is very essential when working with Joomla. Nice job and thank you for kind support! Germany...
