Hi
We have recently had a couple ouf users with a Components Anywhere problem. Think this might just be a documentation issue

The result is briefly summarised at
www.jdownloads.net/documentation-for-v3-...-components-anywhere

Basically if one adds the menu ID all is well. But that is not really clear in the tutorial doc it seems to suggest it is 'optional'. Think adding a note about SEF here would help users of several Components

Best wishes

Thanks Peter, I was just hoping for a bit more explanation or clarity in the Documentation.

The documentation does say to avoid SEF links and a good way of doing that is to use a menu link, even if one is not using the extra advantages offered by a menu link. The menu link can of course be hidden.

Would it assist if I attempted a revised documentation?

Regards
Colin

Hi
I think it is just the emphasis where users think the SEF one is OK.

At bottom of section "How to use it (syntax)"

Note: You can also use SEF URLs inside the {component} tag, but we recommend you use non-SEF urls when possible.

Note: Whilst in some situations you can also use SEF URLs inside the {component} tag, we strongly recommend you use non-SEF urls whenever possible as described below.

You could now even delete the menu item, as the url used in the {component} tag is not connected to that menu item - we just needed it to know what url to use.
