Released is version 1.13 of the plugin to include a component in an article without iframe. So the links will work like in an normal page and styling of the site will be used and also the style of the component.

The following features are added, changed or solved:

• Option to remove the print parameter in the url
• Adapted plugin for Joomla 2.5 and 3.0
• Remove special javascript content type around scripts to prevent problems with IE
• Support for https

Download it at Joomla Extensions.

The syntax is: { component url='<url>' }
Double quoutes can be used too. Remove the spaces after { and before }.

Replace <url> with the url to your component and include index.php?
Best is to use the url from a menu item in a hidden menu so you can use parameters of this menu item for the component

For example: { component url='index.php?option=com_component&Itemid=73&parameters....' }

Clustering of marker in the plugin GoogleMaps is possible with the kmlrenderer GeoXML (version => 3.0):

{mosmap kml='http://tech.reumer.net/images/batchgeo2.kml'|
kmlrenderer='geoxml'|maxcluster='25'|gridsize='7'|minmarkerscluster='3'|
maxlinesinfocluster='5'|clusterzoom='dblclick'|centerlat='0'|centerlon='0'|zoom='1'}

It's possible to place an image on the map (version => 3.0).

{mosmap imageurl='http://tech.reumer.net/images/powered_by.png'|
imageposition='right_top'|imagewidth='165'|imageheight='68'}

You now can define multiple lookats or camera positions for the Earth maptype (version => 3.0). In this way you can define a fly route to you locations.

See for parameters of the lookat and camera: Earth lookat and camera position control

lookat[1]=',,,,90,,0.25'|lookat[2]=',,,,180,,0.25'|lookat[3]=',,,,270,,0.25'}
