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. 1. I only use com_users for Joomla CMS 2. I don't need any articles, modules, categories, templates, etc 3. I don't need to install other any extensions My app only uses com_users for login and connect then in other external db updates 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 BR
