Just code the where clause directly, like so:

Code:

$builder->where('node.LFT BETWEEN parent.LFT AND parent.RGT');

There's no variable interpolation or substitution so it should be fine.

Thanks

Also problems solved with the table selection

PHP Code:

$this->db = db_connect($this->dbActiveGroup);

$builder = $this->db->table("$this->dbTable AS da_node,  $this->dbTable AS da_parent");
$builder->resetQuery();

$builder->select("da_parent.*");
$builder->where("da_node.LFT BETWEEN da_parent.LFT AND da_parent.RGT");
$builder->where("da_node.NAME ", $node);

$builder->orderBy("da_parent.LFT");

$query =  $builder->get();
$this->dbLastQuery =  $this->db->getLastQuery();
return $query;
