The CB Lists capability is very powerful - filtering, sorting, and displaying information in a customizable way - I've used it a lot for my clients. It would make a great stand-alone extension if it was reworked to be able to access all the tables in a Joomla database - including 3rd party tables.
I'd like to be able to connect a few user fields from another extension so I can use those fields in CB Lists.
It seems CB Auto Actions might be the solution - to create those fields in the CB Fields list, then somehow have the corresponding fields in the other extension's table to populate the CB fields. I wouldn't really know where to start to do this.
The other extension also uses the UserID from Joomla Core, so I know that's how they would connect.
The fields cannot be editable in CB and must update with changes in the other extension in real-time so that the CB List is always displaying current data.
I'm currently working with Joomla 3.10.x, but I plan to start updating all my websites over the summer to Joomla 4.x. So whatever I do now, needs to translate into Joomla 4.
I'd appreciate the simplest solution to this - I'm not a coder, but I know how to access my database so I can identify the tables and fields that I need to sync.
Thank you,
Ernie
