Datatype Override - blank ".tpl" / not loading?

Hi,

I've written an override template for ezobjectrelationlist.tpl. It works properly in the user siteaccess, but I get nothing in the admin siteaccess.

This has got me puzzled. Can someone point me in the right direction?

This is the override entry...

[ptw_edit_objectrelationdatatype]
Source=content/datatype/edit/ezobjectrelationlist.tpl
MatchFile=datatype/ptw_edit_ezobjectrelationlist.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class_identifier]=article

The datatype shows properly in user siteaccess, but not even a mention of the template in the admin siteaccess. (I'm looking at the same object from each siteaccess).

Looking at the (admin siteaccess) debug output, I get:

eZTemplate: Loading template "content/datatype/edit/ezobjectrelationlist.tpl" with resource "design"
eZTemplate: Loading template <b>"content/datatype/edit/.tpl"</b> with resource "design"
Warning: eZTemplate:attribute_edit_gui May 02 2007 18:46:13 
None of the templates design:content/datatype/edit/ezobjectrelationlist.tpl, design:content/datatype/edit/.tpl could be found

The ".tpl" looks very suspicious, but I can spot the source of the problem.

Any thoughts gratefully accepted. This is driving me nuts!!

Okay, it looks like it was my placement of the template file. I put it within the "admin" design directory and got a result. I'd expected templates to be found via the template search for a match through extension directories, but obviously this isn't what happens.
