Any way of defining an AS
for a query??
I have tried the following:
$data = News::order_by('news.id', 'desc')
->join('categories', 'news.category_id', '=', 'categories.id')
->left_join('users', 'news.user_id', '=', 'users.id') // ['created_by']
->left_join('users', 'news.modified_by', '=', 'users.id') // ['modified_by']
->paginate(30, array('news.title', 'categories.name as categories', 'users.name as username'));
The problem is that ['name']
from categories will be replaces with the one from users
. Any way of having them with different names?
Having the aliases above... how can I create an alias where both joins return users.name
?
paginate()
method's second parameter accepts array of table columns to select in the query. So this part:
paginate(30, array('news.title, category.name'));
must be like this:
paginate(30, array('news.title', 'category.name'));
UPDATE (after you changed the question)
Try this:
->paginate(30, array('news.title', 'categories.name as category_name', 'users.name as user_name'));
UPDATE 2 (after you changed the question, again)
You can use alias on tables, too:
$data = News::order_by('news.id', 'desc')
->join('categories', 'news.category_id', '=', 'categories.id')
->join('users as u1', 'news.user_id', '=', 'u1.id') // ['created_by']
->join('users as u2', 'news.modified_by', '=', 'u2.id') // ['modified_by']
->paginate(30, array('news.title', 'categories.name as categories', 'u1.name as creater_username', 'u2.name as modifier_username'));
