Modifiers allow you to modify nodes on before they are used. Making it possible to do such things as to add or remove attributes to a node before it is loaded.

Example of using modifiers:

Add the following code in your module_preload.inc (if this file is not present, create it in your module's directory):

$modifiers[] = 'modules.node';

In your module.inc:

class mod_mymodule extends atkModule 
{
   function module_node_modifier(&$node)
   {
     useattrib('atkDummyAttribute');
     $node->add(new atkDummyAttribute('mydummyattrib','Dummy attribute added by modifier'), 'default',9999999);
   }
}
