Searching the forum returned only "This can't be done". "You can't load a component in content" etc. Maby not the usual way..but - here it is. Simple mambot to include any component in the content. Inspired by facileforms mambot & wrapper component, this is a kind of local wrapper mambot. Without iframe it would be better, but - that's work for future. Open your eyes:)

How to use it:

{component}url{/component}

Where url is relative url to your component WITHOUT "index.php?". So url would look like this: {component}option=com_blabla&Itemid=73&album=7{/component}

Thanks. Will you add this to the extensions site?
I'd rather have a non-forum link for this, in order to add to bot listing here:
http://www.eyezberg.com/Joomla-CMS/Plug ... rt-II.html

I guess I will apply for an account at joomlaforge.

As there's no news, I have now linked this to this forum post.

has anyone got a link to this bot that i can use to download it

Thanks

it Ok I had to log in and the link appeared 

gee whiz web 2 is magic.

Hi
sorry but do you have a link to get this mambot ??
thanks

its an attachment in the first post.

note you have to be signed into the forum to see attachments

somebody should definiteely add this to the forge!!! this is soooooo great!

I experience a problem.... the bot works great and loads the component correctly the first time but when i click any link in the embeded component it reloads the complete website inside the content item with all the template around it instead of just loading the  maincontent area inside the article. is there a possile fix for that?

I'm experiencing the same problem, could anyone have a fix for this or another method of doing this, very easy this could be a really lifesaver but this issue should be fix first.  By the way, great job.

Hi

Can it be used to show google map (mambot gmap) in forum content or noah classified to map a address ?  or parsing any mambot to elsewhere within other component.

Could this be solve by just including a target="_top" or target="_blank" ? and if so where should be put? Here is the code:

Code: Select all

// no direct access
defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );

$_MAMBOTS->registerFunction( 'onPrepareContent', 'botcomponentbot' );

function botcomponentbot( $published, &$row, &$params, $page=0 ) {
   // simple performance check to determine whether bot should process further
   if ( strpos( $row->text, 'component' ) === false ) {
      return true;
   }   

   // define the regular expression for the bot
   $regex = "#{component}(.*?){/component}#s";

   // check whether mambot has been unpublished
   if ( !$published ) {
      $row->text = preg_replace( $regex, '', $row->text );
      return true;
   }

   // perform the replacement
      
   $row->text = preg_replace_callback( $regex, 'botComponentCode_replacer', $row->text );
      
   return true;
}
/**
* Replaces the matched tags an image
* @param array An array of matches (see preg_match_all)
* @return string
*/
function botComponentCode_replacer( &$matches ) {
   global $database ;
   
         $query = "SELECT params"
         . "\n FROM #__mambots"
         . "\n WHERE element = 'componentbot'"
         . "\n AND folder = 'content'"
         ;
         $database->setQuery( $query );
         $database->loadObject($mambot);
      
       $botParams = new mosParameters( $mambot->params );

       $height   = $botParams->def( 'height', '500' );
      $width   = $botParams->def( 'width', '500' );

   $url = $matches[1];
   $url = 'index2.php?' . $url;
   $para =   'id="expose" '.
            'src="'.$url.'" '.
            'width="'.$width.'" '.
            'height="'.$height.'" '.
            'frameborder="0" '.
            'allowtransparency="true" '.
            'scrolling="no" ';

     $url = "<iframe ".$para.">\n".
        "<p>Sorry, your browser cannot display frames!</p>\n".
        "</iframe>\n";

   return $url;
}
?>

Hm, that is indeed true. Links going from inside of the component are genererated in that component and to function properly some kind of replacement should be done before displaying the component inside iframe. Inposible task really (maby javascript could do it?), as iframe is really only a visual integration - until bot is rewritten to work trough fopen. That way executed php could be loaded into variable and replacement of all index.php with index2.php could be done.

Until then this bot is usable mainly for displaying final destinations in components or components, that are themselves embeded in joomla and don't use joomla's links. Bot was developed for expose and work's flawless in there as expose is really flash embeded in joomla.

ks_tiwari: it work's the other way - to include component in the content. But if your component processes mambots, that it should work to include any other component. And if component shows google map, there shouldn't be any link problems, as google map is java aplication.

hola para solucionar el problema que link aparezca en la misma ventana del frame tu puedes poner este código a tu template



de esta forma el link se va redirigir a la ventana originaria. A mi me funciona bien además impinde los wrapper abusivos.

saludo

you can put this java code in your template.
and the mambot and wrapper work ok.

Bye

For anyone that uses Expose, could this:
http://www.gotgtek.com/forum/index.php?topic=1251.0
be accomplished using this mambot?

I developed this mambot because I needed it to include  Expose galleries into some project

Then you are a wonderful person! I tried it and it works! Thanks so much for developing tihis mambot!

Totally daccord! Great job!

This mambot and module that forces links from component that is beeing included to be opened in full page (not in iframe) can now bo found here: http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/kausproject/

hello
I am trying to use this mabomt but i am stuck.
I have made a new position in the template.. what is the next step?. where am i supposes to to type componet]url[component] ? Sorry if this is a stupid question

This is mabot, so you must enter the code somewhere in your normal content (a.g. article or news), not in the module.

Um ... where do I find the url for my component? 

Create a menu entry to that component

Hello
first thanks for designing a great Mambot

I have gotten the Mambot  to work it, displays my Expose Component just fine on the static page I specified,,,Except its only 200 by 200 or whatever the default size is. I have changed the frame size in the Mambot itself and even gone in and changed the width and height in the .XML and .PHP file. No matter what I do the size of "Expose Component" stays the same,,which is way too small. Can someone tell me what I'm missing.

I have seen this problem listed on other sites with the fix being, to adjust your frame size to whatever you need in the Mambot Parameters page in Joomla. But like I said this has not worked for me. if possible I would like to do away with the scroll bars that appear as well.

Thanks
Dan

You can change iframe size in the mabot backend settings. But of course, this "window" to your component can't be bigger than table/div that surrounds it (a recent case from another user).
Size of component that loads in the iframe is set in the component. In Expose this is done trough XML settings.

Hey kauselot

I did everything to work but,,I don't know what I did to make it work. I did uninstall Component Includer and start from scratch, which means that during my first attempt at setting things I made a mistake somewhere along the way. Thank you for replying so quickly to my post, keep on creating great things for Joomla

Be Blessed
Dan

Hey everybody,
I was trying to use the allowtransparency params to avoid that my iframe gets the same color as the site background.
I modified the code like this: 'allowtransparency="false" ', but nothing happens.
Can you help me?
thanks
cla

Just want to say thank you, Kauselot! The perfect mambot! Small but genial!

This  script is excellent!

It works fine, but is it possible to edit the header info of the iframe? I would like to use a javascript, only for the iframe.

Hi Joomlies,

Thanks for the great Mambot...

Im using it to display the Expose Gallery,  I have all the setting correct and the gallery looks great on its own... However, when I run it in a content item using the Mambot the Iframe turns the surrounding area to grey... Please Help?

Thank you all.

Peace and Love, matt
