<p>More specifically I am trying to make the mailto component show within my template; the same way as an article does. </p>

<p>By default the mailto component opens in a new window. So far I changed the code so it opens on the same window, but that way the whole template is gone.</p>

<p>Any suggestions?</p>

(each menu item refers to a component.) generaly the componetsn are of the com_content type, and are articles, but in your case you are wanting to add a component called com_mailto? Asuming the component is installed, all you have to do is select the new butto0n when in menu item manager, and then select the mailto component type.</p>\n\n<p>the tag that is being used in a joomla 1.5 template is: </p>\n\n<pre><code>&lt;jdoc:include type="component" /&gt;\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>If on the other hand you are trying to add a module to the template, that is a different kettle of fish. Youy need to create an instance of teh module, assign it to a tag (which exiusts in teh template) then select which menu items the module will be published on. The tag in a template for a module is like:</p>\n\n<pre><code>&lt;jdoc:include type="modules" name="module_name_place_holder" /&gt;\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>you can put more than one module into a single place holder.</p>\n\n<p>If you already have this basic knowlge, pass on the details of this component, and we will see if we cant find you a better solution. </p>\n'}, {'answer_id': 677241, 'author': 'Community', 'author_id': -1, 'author_profile': 'https://Stackoverflow.com/users/-1', 'pm_score': 2, 'selected': True, 'text': '<p>use "component as content" plugin</p>\n\n<p><a href="http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-enhancements/embed-&amp;-include/5947/details" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-enhancements/embed-&amp;-include/5947/details</a></p>\n'}]
