Understanding Add-ons was created by nzrunner
I am building an application for a sports association to manage their rep team nominations, medical profiles and accomodation requests. These are stored in custom tables outside of CB but within the same Joomla website.

These submissions will be linked to a Joomla user. I am also keeping lots of user information in CB Custom Fields.

What CB add-ons will I need to be able to have information from my custom tables, appear in tabs within a CB User Profile?

With the CB Query add-on (available to Professional members) you can grab any data you want from an internal or external database and display it in a user profile.

Thanks for the reply.

Is there any CB add-on that can call a Joomla Content Plugin and display the results in a CB tab?

Are you trying to display a joomla article in a tab?

No

I have a number of lists created using ChronoConnectivity linked to forms created in ChronoForms. I want to display those lists in a CB tab.

Yes, most fields can execute Joomla content plugins under the Layouts parameter on their field values. You don't need a subscription for this as it's just a feature built into CB 2.x. In your case though I'd use a Custom HTML field.
