Turn component into module

[Ehrenmeyer]

Hello there,
I have installed the Akeeba Engage component on my Joomla 4 website. The comments are now underneath the content of each article.
However, I need the component output to be at a different position. It would be ideal if there is a way to create a module that embeds this component, thus I can assign module positions to it.

Is there any way to do that? Apparently, the extension "components everywhere" made this possible, but it is not available for Joomla 4.

Thank you in advance!

Look closer. You will see there is a module available.

Thank you, but the module is not the same as the component. The module shows the latest comments that were posted on every article on the entire website. The component shows you the comments for the respective article. The latter is what I need as a module.

It's actually the Plugin that shows the Comments under the Article.

If the plugin for Akeeba Engage is inserted by short-code (i.e. the editor button beneath your article editor), then you could put it 'anywhere' including for instance, in a custom module, which you can assign to any page/menu item and place in the appropriate module position for your template.

You could also place the custom module into your article using {loadposition} or {loadmodule} functions that are built into Joomla. The third-party extension Modules Anywhere achieves the same thing here.

Yes thank you, that's a good idea. Do you know how I can find out what the short-code looks like?

It's not a Content Plugin. It's a Plugin that acts on the OnAfterArticleDisplay Event.

ahh, thanks for the correction, I keep forgetting the differences between plugins was merely thinking content plugin.
