really strange one, this.

I have a simple channel with one matrix field, which contains a single fieldtype of 'date'. It works in the control panel OK, but if I try to run the tag pair on the front end I get:

Fatal error: Class 'EE_Fieldtype' not found in /path/to/_system/expressionengine/third_party/matrix/ft.matrix.php on line 14

This is EE v2.6.1 - Build Date: 20130506, and Matrix 2.5.5 or 2.5.6. But I have both Matrix and EE working OK on other projects at these versions so I'm stumped.

Anyone have any suggestions better than my "start again" one?

Thanks, Andy.

  • Andy, are you running any other add-ons by any chance?

I found the problem - I had custom fields disabled in my entries tag (d'oh!)!!

This seems to cause the aforementioned problem if you try to parse matrix tags.

It sounds like the date issue with Matrix 2.5.5. Try upgrading to 2.5.6.

http://docs.pixelandtonic.com/matrix/changelog.html

Fixed the Date celltype for EE 2.6.

Fixed a bug where an illegal date string could crash EE.

There was also a problem with the installer.
