function views_many_to_one_helper::add_table

Same name in other branches
  1. 7.x-3.x includes/handlers.inc \views_many_to_one_helper::add_table()

Add a table to the query.

This is an advanced concept; not only does it add a new instance of the table, but it follows the relationship path all the way down to the relationship link point and adds *that* as a new relationship and then adds the table to the relationship, if necessary.

2 calls to views_many_to_one_helper::add_table()
views_many_to_one_helper::ensure_my_table in includes/handlers.inc
Override ensure_my_table so we can control how this joins in. The operator actually has influence over joining.
views_many_to_one_helper::summary_join in includes/handlers.inc
Provide the proper join for summary queries. This is important in part because it will cooperate with other arguments if possible.
