Answer 1

Here's a trick that worked for me. Replace this line

$this->db->join($this->_table_device, $fieldname1. " = ".  $fieldname2, 'LEFT');

with this:

$this->db->join($this->_table_device, $fieldname1. " IN(".  $fieldname2 .")", 'LEFT');

this will prevent CI from escaping your field. It's not ideal but it's better than the alternatives.
