Cindy:
Just out of curiosity – did you ever attempt the method suggested in Post #2 ?

Hi
Happy new year 🙂
And sad to see this thread still going not right way to solve , although it’s simply way.
I’ll try to write down again very close step by step how to include Joomla! Component ( not module ) into Joomla! Content ( com_content / article ) page.

# Install 3rd plugin:
<blockquote><blockquote>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.

http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/15946/69127/plugin_component_J16_J17.1.10.zip
</blockquote>
By install this plugin you can do via Joomla! Installer:

index.php?option=com_installer&view=install
Tips: You can simply install it by use Install from URL so don’t waste time to download it into local and upload / install into Joomla!</blockquote>

# Enable plugin:
<blockquote>
administrator/index.php?option=com_plugins
Go to above URL and find your installed plugin.
And you cound find out this

Plugin Include Component system plugin_component Public 10018
Click on red icon ( disabled ) and it’ll be become green icon ( enabled )

And from now you can simply insert ( embed ) any Joomla! Component into your Joomla! page ( in your case is Joomla! Content – Article ) by use this format

<blockquote>Include any component in a article (without iframe).
Code is {component url=’url’}
Replace url 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 normal url then use the SEF url. So not:
index.php?option=com_contact&lang=en&view=category
but:
Contact-Us/category/</blockquote></blockquote>

# Create menu item for ALF Component
<blockquote>At first we need create a hidden menu. By this way we don’t show menu item on page.

administrator/index.php?option=com_menus&view=menus
Go to above URL you’ll go to: Menu Manager: Menus
Make new. For sample I’ll use
<blockquote>Menu Details
Title *: Hidden
Menu type *: hidden
Description</blockquote>
And go to that menu was created:
administrator/index.php?option=com_menus&view=items&menutype=hidden
( in my above sample used menutype=hidden )
Now go to New to create new menu item – ALF Component
At right side, you will need to choose which Default Contact will use for component.
In my sample i used : ALF Component for menu Title</blockquote>

# Get menu link
<blockquote>Ya ! Because you are using SEF and as mentioned of plugin developer ! ( sorry i forgot this ) we need get SEF URL !!!.
By this way we need put this menu into page ( just for quick ). To do that we do via Module. Go to Modules Manager

administrator/index.php?option=com_modules
Click on New to create new module: Select type = Menu
Select Menu = Hidden
( i have used Menu Title Hidden in my sample )
And select any module position you can use on your template. At my side i used “right” and published module
And go to homepage ( make sure clear cache before, so you don’t load you old site content )
Ya ! Now you can see your menu item at homepage . At my side it’s ALF Component. Hover on it you can see at bottom is real link ) ( or you can right click and get link ).

index.php/alf-component
</blockquote>

# Use this link into Joomla! Content
<blockquote>Go to any article and put this code:

{component url='index.php/alf-component'}
</blockquote>

And to prevent any mis-understood here. I just want to inform again.
You are working with Embed Component into Joomla! Content ( com_content / article ) NOT Joomla! Modules.
So don’t try or think about about {loadposition}. It’s use for Embed Module into Joomla! Content.

joo, instead of going through all this why not just make a override with the desired text in plain html?

And yet, no one seems to be able to decipher your “solution” . . . . hmmm, go figure.
