Query :

$this->db->select('ratings.*');
$this->db->select('select AVG(ratings) as avg_rating from ratings group by product_id');
$this->db->from('ratings');
$this->db->join('users','users.id=ratings.user_id');

get data from table ratings, using a left join with select for the average.

the join() function of Codeigniter allows you to to write a select part instead of the table name, but you need to place it into parenthesis:

$this->db->select('t1.*, t2.avg_rating, t3.*');
$this->db->from('ratings t1');
$this->db->join('
                  (select product_id, avg(rating) as avg_rating 
                   from ratings 
                   group by product_id)  t2','t2.product_id=t1.product_id','left'
                );
$this->db->join('users t3','t3.id=t1.user_id','left'); 
$this->group_by('t1.userid')
$this->db->get()->result();

generates:

SELECT t1.*, t2.avg_rating, t3.*
FROM ratings t1
left join 
        (select product_id, avg(rating) as avg_rating from ratings group by product_id)  t2 
    on t2.product_id=t1.product_id
left join users t3
    on t1.user_id = t3.id
group by t1.user_id

and outputs as you expect.

When Queries get complicated i like to use query instead of query builder. You could do this:

$this->db->query('select r.*,(select round(sum(r2.rating)/count(*),0) from ratings r2 where r2.product_id = r.product_id ) as 'avg rating' from ratings r')->result();
