Remote Databases

Renas,

Cobalt from its concept and structure supports almost everything. :D

Some of the basic fields have an option to pull data from other tables (within your Joomla installation) through a SQL query.

For a better understanding, please read this topic.

To get data from an external source, you will need a special field or template. Creating special fields is not so complicated. MintJoomla announced some days ago to provide an extensive tutorial for this.

Just follow the Tutorials section on the MintJoomla page --> here.

If you describe your scenario a little more in detail (type of data, intended display), maybe someone here is willing to help you with s special field.

If that DB is on the other server we do not have any built-in solution for that. If your DB on the same server you can follow advice of Sackgesicht.
