Component registered as Snippets gets not rendered

[kay899]

Hi,

I try to use a component as a snippet with this Plugin. I have registered the component also as a page snippet and I can insert it via the RichEditor. Configuration value are stored correctly.

But after that this snippet gets not rendered. I tried to do the same with a snipped made of a partial and this is working.

While debugging I found that SnippetParser in line 36 outputs "false", instead of the snippet rendering:

$generatedMarkup = $controller->renderComponent($snippetCode);

So it seems my snippet gets not found, if it is a component.

Is there any other registration or special request needed to use also components?

I got the same problem.

I've fount that $controller->renderComponent() doesn't allow to render components that are not included in the layout (or CMS page).

The quick fix would be to include the component in the layout where you want the snippet to be rendered.

I've made a PR to dynamically load the component in the layout before rendering the snippet.
