class votingapi_views_handler_relationship in Voting API 7.3

A custom join handler that connects arbitrary base tables to VotingAPI's data.

The base relationship handler can only handle a single join. Some relationships are more complex and might require chains of joins; for those, you must utilize a custom relationship handler.

Definition items:

• base: The new base table this relationship will be adding. This does not have to be a declared base table, but if there are no tables that utilize this base table, it won't be very effective.
• relationship table: The actual table this relationship operates against. This is analogous to using a 'table' override.
• relationship field: The actual field this relationsihp operates against. This is analogous to using a 'real field' override.
• label: The default label to provide for this relationship, which is shown in parentheses next to any field/sort/filter/argument that uses the relationship.
