view_parameter in php

This url looks more like a module not a dataype.

Let say your base root is http://localhost/cms, than your relative url is 'something/attribute/5' which means module 'something' and view 'attribute' with parameter '5'

Your module.php in 'something' should have this:

$ViewList['attribute'] = array(    
'functions' => array( 'attribute' ),    
'script' => 'attribute.php',    
'params' => array( 'Param1' ) );

They in attribute.php you can get parameter value like this:

$Params['Param1'];

Hehe YACT :)

Seems that we need to first define what you mean when you say datatype. Because datatype in eZ is a building block for classes. E.g. ezimage, ezstring, etc. What do you mean when you say datatype?

In the example we used just simple $view_parameters variable in template...

You can of course create a small template that looks up the current view parameters, then calls a custom fetch function based on on the parameters found, and displays the result in some way you want.

I am not sure why you want to tie that to a datatype, but of course you can tie your template to any attribute you want, be it using a standard datatype or a new one you create. Just set up the proper overriding rules in override.ini for content/datatype/view/full.tpl
