Is it possible to use the new database feature in AA in Joomla 4 to connect to articles on a Joomla 3 website (or is this supposed to be able to work)? I gave it a quick try, but got an error 500 on the Joomla 4 site where the AA tag was placed, so I'm just curious.
Thanks!

Yes, it's technically supposed to work 😁
Can you share the AA tag you're using?

The documentation site for the Joomla 4 versions of the Regular Labs extensions, runs on Joomla 4. And for a large part it is pulling in the article texts from the Joomla 3 documentation site.
So yes, this should definitely work.
Can you switch the Error Reporting in the Joomla configuration to 'Development', and see what error is breaking the page?

Hi Andrea and Peter,
thanks for the responses. I've set this all up again and tried it, and so far it appears to be working correctly, so I'm not sure what I had done previously that caused the error. I'm going to be setting up some more advanced AA tags using the database feature over the next few days, so if I discover the problem again, I'll re-post here.
