Help with JOIN active record class

[eluser]chefnelone[/eluser]
Hello

I'm using active records with JOIN in this way:

Code:

$this->db->join('products_images', 'products_images.id_product = products.product_id');
$products = $this->db->get('products');
$data['products'] = $products->result();

it works fine but the problem is:

let say I have 3 records in table 'products' with id_product: 1, 2 and 3
and 2 records in table 'products_images' with id_product: 1 and 2

When I get $data['products'] the record with id_products = 3 is missing. I can see that if the JOIN is not made the record is no added to the results.
Is there any way to get the record even if that doesn't exist in the 'products_images' table??
