MM

MM

Type:string (table name) Scope:Proc.

Means that the relation to the records of foreign_table is done with a M-M relation with a third “intermediate” table.

That table typically has three columns:

uid_local, uid_foreign

Storing uids of both sides. If done right, this is reflected in the table name - tx_foo_local_foreign_mm

sorting

is a required field used for ordering the items.

further fields

May exist, in particular if MM_match_fields is involved in the set up.

The field which is configured as “inline” is not used for data-storage any more but rather it’s set to the number of records in the relation on each update, so the field should be an integer.

Warning

Copying with MM relations will not create a copy of the value. Thus copying the record Org with Org->orgA and Org->orgB as New results in New->orgA and New->orgB instead of New->newA and New->newB. Deleting the relation New->orgA will result in a broken relation Org->orgA.
