Regular Labs - Components Anywhere not working-SOLVED

[TomTau]

Hello,

I have updated from 3.2 to 3.9.

Thanks Arno for many things and many hours work!

I have an article with the plugin "Regular Labs - Components Anywhere":
https://www.regularlabs.com/extensions/componentsanywhere

This works fine with 3.2, but with 3.9 the side is empty...

The "Regular Labs Modules Anywhere" works, for example at the bottom of this side:
https://tauber-leipzig.de/gewandhausorchester.html

Can you fix this?

Greetings!

Hi
Could you point me to which article where you have Components Anywher pleaseThanksColin

[TomTau]

For example:
https://tauber-leipzig.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&layout=edit&id=88

This can you read with {F12}:

<!--  Components Anywhere Message: Die Komponente kann nicht platziert werden wegen einer ungültigen URL oder einer Zeitüberschreitung der Seite. -->

Greetings!

TomI translated the message as my German is 'tourist' level!
"The component cannot be placed because of an invalid URL or the page timed out."
Components anywhere uses a menu item to define the link and also to set up 'parameters'Could you advise which jDownloads menu item you are using please and also any menu parameter changes so I can attempt to simulate the problem
ThanksColin

Hello Colli,

this is the HTML:

<div class="uk-card uk-card-primary uk-card-body">
{component index.php?option=com_jdownloads&view=category&catid=2}
</div>

in the:
https://tauber-leipzig.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&layout=edit&id=88

This Link is okay:
https://tauber-leipzig.de/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&view=category&catid=2

And the
{component index.php?option=com_jdownloads&view=category&catid=2}
works fine in 3.2

The same with url="" also not working.
Here an example:
https://www.regularlabs.com/forum/componentsanywhere/47393-components-anywhere-not-working-on-joomla-3-9-13
on #90407

And this with module - for example - works in 3.9:

<div class="uk-card uk-card-primary uk-card-body">
{module Tom_jDownloads Latest-Diensteinteiler}
</div>

Greetings!
Tom

Hello,

I have found a workaround...

When I deactivate the SEO is work fine.
With SEO = On is not working.

Can you help for this?
My jDownloads = 3.9.6

Hi
I will try to reproduce in one of my test sites.
I guess it is the structure of the menu link that is causing a 'challenge' as that is the principle difference.
Presume you are using the Free Version of Compnents anywhere.
Also could you try with the latest jD 3.9.6 version of jD (just released) please.
I use several Regular Labs extensions on my regular sites

Hi
Have you by any chance set 'Force Itemid' in Advanced section of Components Anywhere to Yes?

Yes, but with the same reslut.

Hi
In the Documentation of Component Anywhere

"As said above, we recommend you use the non-sef url inside the {component} tag. But getting that url is not that straight-forward for some components."
This is in sectionUsing Menu Item to get the correct URL

I have not the SEO-tag in my code, for example:
{component url="index.php?option=com_jdownloads&view=category&catid=2"}

Tom
But have just seen that on the 'test site' in a custom module!
Which article has the (component  ....}

[TomTau]

Sorry, my english...

I have this in my custom modul ("Tom_GWO-CDs - Downloads"):

{component index.php?option=com_jdownloads&amp;view=category&amp;catid=2}

This works with SEO = Off

And this isn't working with SEO = On

This isn't an article, but a custom module.

Greetings!

Have solved the problem  It wouls seem the Components Anywhere  has 'changed'
It now needs the Itemid of the menu item
{component index.php?option=com_jdownloads&view=category&catid=XXX&Itemid=YYY}
where XXX is the catid and YYY is the relevant menu id
