Views' join handlers in Views (for Drupal 7) 6.2

Same name and namespace in other branches

1. 6.3 includes/handlers.inc \views_join_handlers
2. 7.3 includes/handlers.inc \views_join_handlers

Handlers to tell Views how to join tables together.

Here is how you do complex joins:

class views_join_complex extends views_join {

  // PHP 4 doesn't call constructors of the base class automatically from a
  // constructor of a derived class. It is your responsibility to propagate
  // the call to constructors upstream where appropriate.
  function construct($table = NULL, $left_table = NULL, $left_field = NULL, $field = NULL, $extra = array(), $type = 'LEFT') {
    parent::construct($table, $left_table, $left_field, $field, $extra, $type);
  }
  function join($table, &$query) {
    $output = parent::join($table, $query);
    $output .= "AND foo.bar = baz.boing";
    return $output;
  }

}
