title: how to display database data in joomla
body: <p>I am new to joomlah . So far I have acomplished the following :<br>
  1. I have installed it on wamp server.<br>
  2. I have created a fewe articles.<br>
  3. I have created another  schema on the database that comes with a wamp.  </p>
  
  <p>Now, I need to do two things and I wonder what is the best practice<br>
  1. Create a template article that will display data in a format<br>
  2. Load the data from the DB.</p>
  
  <p>Since a lot of the answers to this question refer to older versions or 2009 answers
  I wonder what is the reccomended way to do it today.<br>
  (Should I do it with PHP? is there a recommended pluggin? )<br>
  Thanks</p>
