Hi Sangib

if that is related to your previous problem
http://ez.no/community/forum/developer/how_to_create_multi_checkbox_like_multi_option
you should rather just change the templates. If you have a problem with that please first check the comments I have posted there and if necessary post your current template there, I will have a look at it.

Creating new datatypes is not the easiest thing to do, so I would try to use existing EZ datatypes as much as possible.
If you really need to create a new datatype, here is a short introduction (which is for an older version of EZ, but most is the same):

Also check the comments in the file \kernel\classes\ezdatatype.php, there are quite useful.
For working examples check the datatypes in the contributions and play a bit with them.
