Not *custom field handlers*, custom *filter* handlers. On Fri, Jul 8, 2011 at 1:24 PM, Ken Rickard <agentrickard@gmail.com> wrote:
I think this is a fair development question, since the answer is "you have to write code to do this".
You can do variable query handlers in custom field handlers -- that's what I usually do -- but it does require writing code.
Essentially, your query() method can be responsive to input or conditions in the rest of the View (including arguments.)
Here's a snippet that (while out of context) will show you the basic approach.
If you think your logic can be abstracted and used in multiple places, a Views filter is a great option. If not, just a custom query is fine.

I believe using the "Relationship" stuff would allow this, but you may have to build a module to provide that information. In which case, doing your own query is probably faster.

From: Roman Zimmermann for a site specific view I'd need to implement a view which's query has a condition that spans multiple tables. It'll look something like: table1.field = 'value' OR table2.field = 'other value'
Is this possible using D6/views2 ? Am I better off just using a custom query?
