I'm trying to reverse-engineer a plugin : <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-social-login/">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-social-login/</a> In a part of it, there's this line: (I'm having a hard time understanding the first one, the rest are simply there for reference if they have something to do it.) <pre><code>require_once( dirname( dirname( dirname( dirname( __FILE__ )))) . '/wp-load.php' ); define( 'WORDPRESS_SOCIAL_LOGIN_PLUGIN_URL', plugins_url() . '/' . basename( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) ); define( 'WORDPRESS_SOCIAL_LOGIN_HYBRIDAUTH_ENDPOINT_URL', WORDPRESS_SOCIAL_LOGIN_PLUGIN_URL . '/hybridauth/' ); </code></pre> My question is... what exactly is in this <code>wp-load.php</code> file that it needs to be required by the code? By looking at it, all I understand is that it loads crucial core wordpress files for the site to be running correctly (<code>functions.php</code>, <code>wp-settings.php</code>, <code>wp-config.php</code> etc...) Doesn't the fact that the plugin runs already means <code>wp-load.php</code> is loaded? Also it's a complete waste of resources since it includes so many files that may include other files as well and it's like an endless loop of required files, each within another, which are being loaded twice.. (or even more if other plugins use this kind of method too) So what exactly does it do? P.S; All I found by Google-ing is HOW to include it correctly (since paths are change-able) - but that's not my problem/question.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
