New Commercial Services Section
We have now opened a commercial services section here on the forum for registered users. If you have a Fabrik project that you wish to have someone work on for you, post it under Help Wanted. If you are an application developer and wish to earn some money helping others, post your details under Fabrik Application Developers.
Both of these are unmoderated. It will be up to both parties to work out the details and come to an agreement.

Database join element vs List Joins

They have usually a bit different use cases. Databasejoin element is for getting a value from list A to list B.
For example, if you have a "Products" list and "Product category" list, then when entering the products data in Products list you can choose a product category from Category list.
And users can add more categories to the list if needed and these can be selected when entering products. So the options are not hard-coded to element settings like with dropdown element.
With list join you just display data (usually many elements) from several tables in one list. Or you can also update the joined list data in form view.
So you could display all the elements in the Products table and Product category table in the same view.
Probably not the best explaination, but I'm sure you get the idea
