I just purchased this product and it is far from user friendly. I have several db tables on my Joomla site that have a lot of data elements in them from Fabrik. I only want to make tables, graphs and charts with just select elements of data. Also, do I have to use a module if I want to show all of these charts in an article attached to a menu? I don't want a module to display anywhere, I want it to display in an article. I have read a lot of your help topics but I am about to tear my hair out. It just keeps saying "No Data" when I try to open the article that I inserted the module code into. And the module doesn't display data either. As far as I know I can't even figure out how to connect a db because there is not a list of my db's to choose from.

Hello,

You can use "Content - ARI Data Tables" plugin which is included into "ARI Data Tables" package (or "Module Plant" or "Modules Anywhere" 3rd party plugin) if you want to embed a module instance into an article. In this case enable module instance, but don't assign it to a module position or assign it to a fake module position.

If you want to show data from a Joomla! database then set "Choose source type" parameter to "SQL" and "Choose source type -> SQL -> Choose DB type" parameter to "- Joomla! database -". After this enter "SELECT" SQL query which will be used to retrieve data in "SQL -> SQL query" parameter. For example the following SQL query can be used to show IDs and titles of articles:
