Description
As integration with Legacy Stack requires that all Field Types are also also handled on 5.x stack side, Null Field Type is provided as a dummy for legacy Field Types that are not really implemented on 5.x side.
Null Field Type will accept anything provided as a value, but will not store anything to the database, nor will it read any data from the database.
This Field Type does not have its own fixed internal name. Its identifier is instead configured as needed by passing it as an argument to the constructor.
Following example shows how Null Field Type is used to configure dummy implementations for ezcomcomments and ezpaex legacy datatypes:
