Hi,
I have writen a menu extension called ex_menu
and added

[ExtensionSettings]
DesignExtensions[]=ex_menu

in the design.ini.append.php

[ExtensionSettings]
ActiveExtensions[]=ex_menu

in the site.ini.append.php

and

{include uri='design:ex_menu/menu.tpl'}

in the pagelayout.tpl

but it doesn't work , I don't know why.

Just a couple thoughts:

What directories are the ini files in?

Did you clear the cache?

Anything in debug? Does templates debug show that templates is being requested?

Hi

I suspect you have the menu.tpl file in the wrong directory. For things to work as you have described below you'll need to have the following layout

extension/ex_menu/settings/design.ini.append.php
extension/ex_menu/design/standard/templates/ex_menu/menu.tpl

The site.ini.append.php should be the one in the relevant siteaccess and not in the extension.

Cheers
