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,

Is CB Auto Actions a possible solution until then? If so, how would I go about doing it?

I don't know how I would code it, but it would involve matching the UserID for each table, then having fields in CB to match those in the other extension, and keeping them in sync.

Does CB Auto Actions do this?

Thank you,
Ernie
