You should make sure that datatype extensions are activated in the right form. To check this, navigate trough the admin interface and check for the admin siteaccess, the file site.ini to be sure that the extensions are present in the ActiveExtensions array.

Also perhaps the datatype array is reset in any other extension, that makes your new datatypes not present in the system.

hth!

Hi,

You can try new extension http://svn.projects.ez.no/ezgmaplocation/trunk/packages/ezgmaplocation_extension/ezextension/ezgmaplocation/

In order to use it you need to update autoload array for extensions as it provides new PHP classes.

Use normal {attribute_view_gui} function if you want to display datatype content in your templates.

Have you for some reason deactivated EZP_INI_FILEMTIME_CHECK in \config.php? like:

define( 'EZP_INI_FILEMTIME_CHECK', false );

In that case you'll have to manually clear ini cache every time you change your ini setting or activate extensions.
I have not seen this issue with my local 4.1.3 install, so that's why I don't think it's a bug.

Hi Andrè! In config.php file the only one think that I do it's to activate this line:

define( 'EZP_USE_BUNDLED_COMPONENTS', true );

because in a CentOS system with Plesk Panel I have not been able to install ezcomponents.

I have also disabled all cache in the admin siteaccess.

Hi Daniele,

ezgmaplocation is working fine with eZ Publish 4.1.3. Here are the steps I took during test:

1. Installed eZ Publish 4.1.3 with ezwebin
2. Exported the ezgmaplocation to the extension folder like

svn export http://svn.projects.ez.no/ezgmaplocation/trunk/packages/ezgmaplocation_extension/ezextension/ezgmaplocation/ ezgmaplocation

3. Updated settings/override/site.ini.append.php and activated the extension as first on the list.
4. Loaded mysql schema from extension/ezgmaplocation/sql/mysql/mysql.sql
5. Updated autoload array

I can see GMap Location datatype on the list.

try to add a "echo 'No way!';" in the datatype file, and see if it pups up when creating / editing a class.
Maybe check your permissions on the extension or ezgmaplocation folder and make sure its readable by apache / httpd / www user.
Are you on PHP 5.2.9? Then update or downgrade, serious array_unique issues with it.
