Unable to load the requested file - View file not loading in fieldtype
Development and Programming
Hi,
I’m making a fieldtype and trying to load a view inside my display_field() function. The code i’m using to attempt this is the following:
$jeff = $this->EE->load->view(PATH_THIRD.'addon/views/selector_layout');
return $jeff;But i get an error:
Unable to load the requested file: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/eetest/system/expressionengine/third_party/addon/views/selector_layout.php
The file is in that directory, it’s spelled correctly.
Err..any ideas?
Okay, don’t worry about it, i’ve fixed it. Although, still seems like a silly error to me…
Shouldn’t that just be:
return $this->EE->load->view('selector_layout', $vars, TRUE);If I’m correct EE automatically adds the add-on package path, so no need to specify it.

Wasn’t working for me.
I had
return $this->EE->load->view('selector_layout', TRUE);originally, but that didn’t work, so then i looked in other peoples addons and the forums to get some hints and found someone in a forum suggesting
return = $this->EE->load->view(PATH_THIRD.'addon/views/selector_layout');But that didn’t work, so then i looked in safecracker fieldtype which sets the package package path around it. Adding that seemed to work.
Weird stuff.
I would look this up in the bug tracker for the version of EE you are using and report it if you do not find that it has been fixed. You should not have to manually switch package paths in your add-ons.
Once i’ve finished what i’m doing i’ll look into it and test it further.
