Custom Tables 3.7.2 (Joomla)

Loads pages almost 2x as fast!

- Added database query caching for frequently requested data (Languages, User Groups, User Details, Layout, Table Details, and Field Lists), significantly improving page load speed.

- Back-end: Improved CSV Import interface and functionality.

Custom Tables: Import CSV file interface improved! (v.3.7.2)
https://ct4.us/docs/import-csv-file/

02/15/2026

I’m happy to announce a new PRO-only feature coming to Custom Tables.

You can now execute custom SQL SELECT queries directly inside layouts using a new Twig tag:

{{ tables.sqlselect("SELECT COUNT(id) FROM ") }}
Requires a separate MySQL read-only user

Credentials are stored in configuration.php (not the database)

No multi-statements

Even if someone tries to be creative — the database user simply cannot write.
Smart result handling

The tag automatically adapts to your query result:

SELECT COUNT(...) → returns a number

One row → returns an associative array

Multiple rows → returns a list of rows

You can also force the output mode:

{{ tables.sqlselect("SELECT COUNT(id) FROM ", "scalar") }}

{% set products = tables.sqlselect(

"SELECT title, price FROM LIMIT 5",

"list"

) %}

{% for products in product %}

Title: {{ product.ct_title }}

Price: {{ product.ct_price }}

{% else %}

No purchases found.

{% endfor %}

Why this matters

This unlocks a whole new level of flexibility:

Counters & statistics

Custom reports

Advanced filtering

Performance-optimized queries

Data reuse without extra PHP code

All inside layouts, no overrides required.

Important

This feature is PRO only and intended for advanced users who understand SQL and database security.

More improvements and examples coming soon.

As always — thanks for supporting the project
