Description

I'm using node family with views_fusion, and I've used the API to create relationships between nodes as needed. Is it possible to have a relationship so that all items in table 'A' are included, even if there is no existing node in table 'B' to relate to? I could create a dummy node and link to that, but it seemed to be a pretty poor solution.

Thanks,

Updating to the latest version. I ended up writing a custom module linking items to a dummy node. It works fine, but is still a hack. Is this solved with relationships in Views 2?

I now realize that this is asking for LEFT JOIN support, but as this module is essentially dead I'm closing the issue.
