Hello,
is it possible to extend ezFlow thru my custom extension? This means, that when i want to make new blocks or zone-layouts i dont have to make changes in the ezFlow extension folder but in my own extension folder. Would be great because i want to make my extension working out of the box, and if i have to make changes in ezFlow folder thats not possible.
At the moment i tryed to place the block.ini.append.php file in my settings Folder with this code:
<?php /* [General] AllowedTypes[] AllowedTypes[]=block_test [block_test] Name=Block Test ManualAddingOfItems=disabled CustomAttributes[]=node_id UseBrowseMode[node_id]=true ViewList[]=testblock ViewName[testblock]=Testblock */ ?>
But its not workin, i thought this will extend the block.ini, but its not. I cant see the block on my frontpage class.
Any ideas, is it possible or do i hav to make changes only in ezFlow Folder?

dont understand what u mean with clean.At the moment i putted the block.ini.append.php in the following folders of my extension.
my_extension/settings/block.ini.append.php my_extension/settings/override/block.ini.append.php my_extension/settings/siteacess/block.ini.append.phpmy_extension/settings/siteaccess/eng/block.ini.append.php
I have no problems with the templates within, everythings working. If i go to the ezflow extension folder and change the block.ini.append.php i can see my block on the frontpage class. If i delete the entry of my custom block, its not showing.

I was looking for ez flow information and found this post. maybe you've got the solution now...
Anyway, we have the same issue. we think that the "problem" when you install ezflow, your extension/ezflow/settings/block.ini.append.php looks like
[General] AllowedTypes[]
So, you cannot add other types from extension, because ezflow extension "reset" the allowed types again
Quick fix could be comment the second line...
[General] #AllowedTypes[]
It seems to be working in our testing servers, but if anyone knows if this could be a problem, please let me know.
