Hi there,
I'm looking for a solution allowing me to create Joomla articles from an external database.
I don't want to import so the articles are static, instead I want the articles to be a live link to the external data.
For example if I add a new entry to the Database, a new article is automatically available within the Joomla front end/ Joomla search.
Is this something that Articles Anywhere (J4) can do with its external DB options?
Looking at the documentation, I think not but I thought I would check.
Thanks

Articles Anywhere can only display data from articles from a different Joomla database/website.
It does not create new articles.
So you probably need to create a script that runs every x minutes (cronjob) that will create/sync articles in your Joomla database based on the data from that external database.
