using SP Page Builder in Category List

Functioneel Beheer Veiligheidsregio Utrecht's Avatar Functioneel Beheer Veiligheidsregio Utrecht
Hi there,
Let me start with complimenting you on the great Articles Anywhere presentation in the JUG London online meeting earlier this month!

Now my question:
I want to make a category list (Joomla menu item) with a number of articles in it. Above that category list I want to show an article that has been made with SP Page Builder as its editor (so not a SPPB Page, but an article with SPPB as its editor).

What I have done is: make the category list menu item and put a module above it with this content:
{article id="785"}{/article}
article ID 785 is the article I want to show.
So I am using Articles Anywhere to put the the SPPB article above the category list. What happens is this: I get a lot of gibberish that I see when the SPPB editor is turned off in the article:
Confidential information:
(hidden)
etc. etc. And below this part I see the category list.
So I understand that Articles Anywhere cannot show articles in a module that have been edited with SPPB as its editor. Is that right? Or am I missing a setting?

I'm trying to think of a workaround if my assumption above is correct. What I could do is put a module in the SPPB page. I would want to put the category list into the module. Is there a way I could do that with one of your extensions (we have RL Bundle, so we could use another RL extension).
Perhaps I am trying to find a solution in the wrong direction, and you have a brilliant idea that I haven't thought of. If so, please, tell me what your idea is.

Thanks a lot,

Thom

Not sure where that gibberish comes from.

What parts of the article are you trying to show?

What does this output?
{article id="785"}([id]) [title]{/article}

Hi Peter,
Thanx for your answer.
First of all: the gibberish is what the standard text editor shows when I open an article without activating the SP Page Builder editor. I have uploaded the images:


So in the first image you see the 'gibberish'.

Second: I tried what you suggested:
{article id="785"}([id]) [title]{/article}
And all I saw was this:

The red area is the website's menu. Below is the title as generated by the menu item. Then the output from your suggestion:
(785) Vakbekwaamheid 2024
i.e. the title of the article. Then a white space. And below is the category list that Joomla has generated.

I guess it means that SPPB generated content cannot be shown with Articles Anywhere. Unless you have one of your brilliant ideas.

So what I am looking for is a way to show a category list (e.g. by way of the menu-item) in a module under the SP Pagebuilder. I remember you used to have "Components Anywhere" regularlabs.com/componentsanywhere , but I guess that has been discontinued for Joomla 4/5. Have you got any other suggestions?

Cheers,

Thom

So Articles Anywhere is doing what it should.
Articles Anywhere simply outputs the article. There is no specific support for SP Pagebuilder.
I don't know if SP Pagebuilder can transform the output of Articles Anywhere to what it wants.

I have no ready solution for you. Best to ask the SP devs about this.
