Reading data primarily from a separate MySQL database was created by Steve Kujan
I want to rebuild a home-grown plugin/module into a component for Joomla 4. The extension gets its data primarily from a separate MySQL database with a couple of tables on the same server and doesn't use articles. Would this be doable with a premium Component Creator account? Does the interface provide any guidance in how to work with the external data?

Here's a general outline of how you can approach building a custom component with external data using Component Creator:
Define your database structure: Using Component Creator, you can define the tables and fields required for storing and accessing data from the external MySQL database.
Set up data connections: Component Creator allows you to create custom data connections to connect to external databases. You can configure the connection settings to access the separate MySQL database with your data. www.mymilestonecard.biz/MyMileStoneCard
Create views and forms: You can design the frontend views and backend forms for your component using Component Creator's interface. These views and forms will be used to display and manage the data from the external database.
Generate the component code: Once you have configured the database structure and defined the views, forms, and data connections, Component Creator will generate the necessary PHP code for your custom component.
Customize the code: While Component Creator handles the bulk of the component creation process, you may need to customize the generated code to handle specific interactions with your external data. This may include creating custom model classes or additional logic to fetch and display the data from the external database.
Install the component: After generating and customizing the code, you can install the custom component into your Joomla 4 website.

Yes, it is definitely doable to rebuild your home-grown plugin/module into a component for Joomla 4 using a premium Component Creator account. The interface of Component Creator provides guidance on how to work with external data. You can easily connect to your separate MySQL database and define the tables you need for your component. www.survey.onl/footactionsurvey-com/ Component Creator offers a user-friendly interface that simplifies the process of creating custom components, making it easier for you to integrate your external data into your Joomla component.
