Hello, I was equally frustrated trying to get a component into a module until I had a moment of brilliance!
I have found a relatively simple way to get around this problem.

The method I used was to put it in a wrapper.
Step 1.
Download attachment.
Or..
Create it yourself.

The template would look something like this for joomla! 1.0.x.

1.1Create folder named "Componentshow".

1.2 Create index.php

<html><head>
<?php mosShowHead(); ?>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<table width="100%" border="0">
<td width="100%" height="100%" valign="top">
<?php mosMainBody(); ?>
</td>
</table></body></html>

1.3 Create templateDetails.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<mosinstall type="template" version="4.5.2">
<name>Componentshow</name>
<creationDate>16/02/08</creationDate>
<author>Unknown</author>
<copyright>GNU/GPL</copyright>
<authorEmail> nobody@nowhere.com </authorEmail>
<authorUrl>http://www.nowhere.com</authorUrl>
<version>0.1</version>
<description>Blank Mainbody Template</description>
<files>
<filename>index.php</filename>
<filename>template_thumbnail.png</filename>
</files>
<css>
<filename>css/template_css.css</filename>
</css>
</mosinstall>

1.4 Create a "template_thumbnail.png" file for the template logo.
1.5 Create folders named "Images" and "css" in template folder.
1.6 Create a blank "template_css.css" file in the css folder.

Step 2.
Go to your menu manager and create a new menu. Name it whatever you wish.
Add the component you need to the new menu.
Copy the itemid of the component.

Step 3.
Go to your module manager and copy the wrapper module and name it.
Put the component url into the wrapper replace the bracket items accordingly.
url: [site location]/index.php?option=com_[componet]&Itemid=[itemid]

Now, set your module position to an unused position for example: user9.

Step 4.
Go to mambots and make sure loadModulePositions is enabled.

Step 5.
Go to any place in your content and insert the following code. {mosloadposition user9}.

Step 6.
Go to your template manager and assign the template to your component only.

Step 7.
Go to the location and check that everything works. You can now modify the template's php's or css file to fit your needs.

Step 8.
Buy me a beer!

You are now able to put components anywhere inside content or modules!

Hope this solved your problem.

To display component in content you can use my Component includer mambot http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,2723/Itemid,35/

You can just create an article, put the component in a wrapper as explained and load the wrapper into the article using loadModulePositions without the special template.

I found the componentbot good however had no control over scrolling etc - once it hit the dimensions of the bot it cut out the rest of the content.

Hi Dieter Gribnitz,
man ur solution was just great in mi case as i'm using joomla1.5.x version(with legacy mode 'on'). Buddy i'm not great at making templates or any such things though i'm quiet Ok with CSS coding.
what i'm trying to say is it will be great if u make that template for pure joomla 1.5.x standard. and share it here.
---- thanks again and hope u make it happen as it is easy for u to make it.

In Joomla 1.5, there is a default plugin which does this. You can call any module position in a content item with the following code:

{loadposition user9}

Remember, you have to enable the loadmodule plugin from the Plugin Manager.

You can't load component via loadposition, that one is used only for modules.

Hi,

Please have a look at this link http://www.jomexperts.com/download/cat_ ... dules.html

This module is called Component Loader.

It allows you to load any component to any module position of the Joomla page WITHOUT using Iframes.

Demo can be found at this link : http://demo.jomexperts.com

It is completely free and requires registration which is also free.

@jomexperts

I got a security warning after clicking on my account activation link in the email that is sent upon registration. This is the very FIRST time that I have ever encountered this. You may want to check that out! Naturally, I declined

Cheers!
