AtkDummyAttribute

it is possible to use this attribute among other things to give a dynamic non edit field. a none dynamic string from other attributes should use atkParserAttribute instead.

for example:

 $this->add(new atkAttribute("first_name", AF_HIDE_LIST|AF_FORCE_LOAD));
 $this->add(new atkAttribute("last_name", AF_HIDE_LIST|AF_FORCE_LOAD));
 $this->add(new atkDummyAttribute("name_citation"));

 function name_citation_display($record) {
   if (strlen($record["last_name"]) <> 0) {
     $string = $record["last_name"] . ", ". $record["first_name"];
   } else { 
     $string = $record["first_name"];
   }
 
   return $string;
 }

Note the AF_FORCE_LOAD without it the fields wont be in the returned result if AF_HIDE_LIST is used

from a table of:

John	Doe
Jane

This should produce:

Doe, John

Jane
