ATK Attribute Flags

Intro

Most attributes have a $flags param in the constructor. You can pass multiple flags by concatting them with a pipe symbol (|).

Example:

$this->add(new atkAttribute("name", AF_SEARCHABLE));

Available flags

This is a list of flags that are common to all attributes. (some attributes have additional flags)

AF_HIDE

Hide an attribute in the add/edit/admin/view actions. this is a synonym for AF_HIDE_LIST|AF_HIDE_EDIT|AF_HIDE_VIEW|AF_HIDE_ADD

AF_HIDE_LIST

Hide an attribute in record lists

AF_HIDE_EDIT

Hide an attribute in edit pages

AF_SEARCHABLE

Add search capability for this attribute to recordlists.

AF_RELATION_AUTOLINK

Normally, an atkManyToOneRelation allows you only to select one of the existing records. If you add the AF_RELATION_AUTOLINK flag, 2 features are added: the user is now able to edit the records from here, or add new records that are not yet in the list. The availability of these 2 features naturally depends on the access rights of the user. Users without edit/add privilege, will not see the links.
