I need to do a 'component' this component uses Joomla! com_users to login and then connect a external db the use a form for sql updates.
In first time I install Joomla! and develop a custom component (not using fabrik because I cant do CroosDB JOINS) but i feel Im not doing the things the best way.
- I only use com_users for Joomla CMS
- I don't need any articles, modules, categories, templates, etc
- I don't need to install other any extensions
- I know how to connect a external db
- There is mandatory uses Joomla, Joomla CSM or Joomla Framework.
My app only uses com_users for login and connect then connect in other external db updatesand execute CRUD on the external db.
My questions:
**Why i should use Joomla CMS if nothing (except com_users) is useful for me?
Can I use Joomla Framework and then "copy" com_users and use it?
I'm right when I say that my best option is to develop the "component" directly on Joomla Framework?**
I already install Joomla Framework (an hour ago) but i can't find enough documentation
Hope this question is for this section
