Hello all,
I'm having a issue creating a complex join and I'm unsure if this is even possible but I thought I give it a shot here. (Its hard to explain though so forgive me)
I have two tables:
Code:
MySQL TABLES
default_views
-------------
- dvid = autoincrement id
- vna = view name
- tpl
- pro
- typ
custom_views
-------------
- cvid = same as dvid
- sid = SiteID
- typ
- vna = view name
- tpl
What I want to do is join both tables but ONLY if 'sid' is the same as the siteID specified by the cms.
At this moment Im trying to use:
Code:
$sid = 2;
$this->db->select('
default_views.dvid,
default_views.vna,
default_views.tpl,
default_views.typ,
default_views.pro,
custom_views.sid
');
$this->db->from('default_views');
$this->db->join('custom_views', 'default_views.dvid = custom_views.cvid', 'left');
$this->db->where('custom_views.sid',$sid);
$q = $this->db->get();
Which works fine, but it just returns custom_views which match the SiteID. I want it to return default_views
at all time and add custom_views 'sid' to the row of the default_views
only when sideid matches.
Anyone has any suggestion on how to proceed on this? Reason is, I dont want to use any dirty mysql loops for returing the data.
Thanks
