I'm new in Joomla and I have a database in phpMyAdmin and a stored table in it. I want to create a search in my Joomla site in order to search the database and present some results in my page. Also I want my search to make indexing in the stored data. How can I achieve this?

I've developed an app which fetches data from an API based on Laravel 5.5. The marketing landingpage of the app is based on Craft CMS Version 3. The marketing website and the API and the databases of both systems are running on the same server.
I want to generate landingpages for each row of table X of the Laravel database.

What is the best approach to realize this?
I don't want to fetch the data directly from Laravel's database
I don't want to synchronize the Craft CMS database with the Laravel (add/remove the rows from the laravel's database as entries to Craft)
It would be awesome to be able to have an entry-type "Landingpage" where we can optionally create a landingpage, referencing to an ID of the laravel table and add additional content for the landingpages.
Would be a JSON-API from Laravel to Craft CMS Plugin a good performant idea?
One option would be to use a Dynamic Route and just fetch the data from 127.0.0.1 (because same server) from the template file? Or is there a smarter way in Craft CMS?
Let's start of by:
"I don't want to fetch the data directly from Laravel's database"
I'm assuming you don't want to write code in CraftCMS to access another project's database. Good. IF you plan on having them do seperate jobs and use Laravel API for fetching data alone, let it handle it's own database.
"I don't want to synchronize the Craft CMS database with the Laravel (add/remove the rows from the laravel's database as entries to Craft)"
So, this is my question:
You want to be able to create landing pages based of Laravel's rows alone or based of Laravel's database row's and CraftCMS's?
It all comes down to how well you want to abstract both frameworks.
I would probably tell laravel to accept requests from authenticated user (a CraftCMS User) or from localhosts (from within the machine alone) and I'd create endpoints to add/remove/edit/get data at my disposal. I'd then fetch rows from Laravel and combine with my own (assume I'm the CMS).
Even in an intranet network, the request to tell laravel to access the database is longer than to access the database from CraftCMS, so you should expect a dependency between the two projects.
For point 3, you'll have to store information on each database about something. On CraftCMS's to store at least the ID's it's going to request to laravel and laravel will have to get an endpoint where it can insert new stuff, if you're planning on having additional content there.
I'm not entirely sure if I got the idea you're trying to show when you say "add additional content for the landing pages" but I'd try to keep it simple and abstract it's uses, Laravel to store this 'information' that the CMS shouldn't handle in the first place (or you can work out some extra tables and import them to the other database).
Impact performance? Depends on the ammount of data you've got
I have 43,806 rows under Catalog -> URL Rewrite Management but my sitemap.xml file contains only 2,035 URLs. I need to delete the entries in the core_url_rewrite table in order to get rid of duplicate meta tag issues that show up in Google Web Master. The problem is that the core_url_rewrite is empty and there are no records in it.
Where are all these URL rewrites stored? How do I get rid of these old URL rewrites?
I refreshed the "Catalog URL Rewrites" index as well but it didn't help.
I am using Magento 1.7.0.2
In Magento there is no table that stores the URL's that are shown in the sitemap.xml page. Those are automatically generated from your product collection at the time of request only. There is no relation to the core_url_rewrite table.
I am working on magento 1.9 version.I want to add a custom image field in drop down of custom options.
I added a text field using following guide
http://magento.ikantam.com/qa/how-add-custom-attributes-custom-options
which is working fine.but when I add a file field then it shows in admin but not save image field value in database.
please help me to solve this.
Neeraj,
Did you specifically click "flush cache storage" By following this guide and adding new tables directly to the database, Magento already has this record in cache. By flushing cache storage, you will allow magento to recognize the new structure and be able to save the record. I have accidentally forgotten to do this quite a few times and you end up with the inability to save a record even though your structure is there.
I am in the process of moving my local website onto a live webhost and am having some confusion while exporting my database tables from phpMyAdmin.
I attached a screenshot for reference.
It seems as if there are two database tables that are being used for my website, I'm not sure how this happened though. What I am trying to figure out is which database table is the one that I need to export along with all my Joomla files?
I went into my htdocs to check the configuration.php file and it says that the database prefix is xxx (i made this up) BUT when I go look into that database table (on phpMyAdmin) the dates of creation don't match up but are current in the "other database table."
Thank you for your help.
Screenshot for reference
To ascertain which is the correct database, create a new user via the Joomla interface, then have a look at the users Joomla table via phpMyAdmin, in both databases, to see in which database the user got created.
This information can be found in your site's admin at Site => Global Configuration => Server
I've installed the sample data from the magento site. Then also
installed magento with each mysql table configured to be named
with the magento_ prefix so as to tell the magento system tables
apart from the data tables. But I have the following problem (yes,
I installed the data first, and then magento, so that's not the issue):
The main content area when I http to localhost/magento/index.php
is blank. I don't see any data. I was expecting to see the
Magento sample store with sample category pages etc...
What have I done wrong?
Been having the same problem, it seems that you cannot use a table prefix in your installation if you want the sample data to show up.
