Class: mod_glossary_entry_query_builder  - X-Ref

Entry query builder class.

The purpose of this class is to avoid duplicating SQL statements to fetch entries
which are very similar with each other. This builder is not meant to be smart, it
will not out rule any previously set condition, or join, etc...

You should be using this builder just like you would be creating your SQL query. Only
some methods are shorthands to avoid logic duplication and common mistakes.

__construct($glossary = null)   X-Ref
Constructor.

param: object $glossary The glossary.

add_field($field, $table, $alias = null)   X-Ref
Add a field to select.

param: string $field The field, or *.

param: string $alias An alias for the field.

Adds the user fields.

return: void

Internal method to build the query.

param: bool $count Query to count?

Count the records.

return: int The number of records.

filter_by_letter($letter, $finalfield)   X-Ref
Filter a field using a letter.

param: string $letter     The letter.

param: string $constant One of the NON_APPROVED_* constants.
param: int    $userid   The user ID when relevant, otherwise current user.

filter_by_term($term)   X-Ref

This requires the alias table to be joined in the query. See {@link self::join_alias()}.

param: string $term What the concept or aliases should be.

get_fullname_field($firstnamefirst = false)   X-Ref
Convenience method to get get the SQL statement for the full name.

Join on the category tables.

Depending on the category passed the joins will be different. This is due to the display
