I imagine the difficulty occurs in deciding which actions are "admin" actions or just user or contributor actions. Probably somewhat ambiguous. Thoughts?
Ber's "sections" module lets you assign a completely different theme to different areas of the site. This is one existing way to have a completely separate theme for the "admin" part of the site. Admin.module doesn't do anything today. Let's get rid of it, and let (future) control panel solutions thrive on their own merits. -- Boris Mann http://www.bryght.com

Admin module is not present anymore in the HEAD version :) Goba

Ah didn't even know about this - always forget to check CVS. This kinda rules it out for me without additional development though: " The regular expressions for paths do *not* work when you run drupal in a subdirectory." Maybe it's fixable. Thanks for the pointer. -- ______________________________ toddgrimason*todd-AT-slack.net

A little off topic - I was doing a bit of testing on the sections module for Bèr and submitted a minor patch. I am running section module on my development server and the side affect of the patch seems to be that it DOES work when I run drupal in a sub-directory. see: http://s92258948.onlinehome.us/greenbeach/ and http://s92258948.onlinehome.us/greenbeach/test Bèr applied the patch - so I wonder if he can comment on whether he sees this improvement or not. andre

He probably build it himself and ripped of the images from drupal.org.. :-( This theme has in no case the same elegance and crossbrowser support than the one on drupal.org.. Steef..

Tried to point this out politely myself. :( Goba

Indeed - nor did it ever make any claims of the sort. This theme was done a few days after the release of bluebeach when everyone was bitching and moaning that Drupal wasn't releasing the theme. I took a couple of hours one day and 'reverse engineered' the theme a)to show that it could be done (proof of concept) b) to shut people up because they can do it themselves if they wanted to. As we all know talk is silver - so I did something as opposed to talking about it. But, I have always respected Steven and Dries' wishes - i.e. not using the theme in production anywhere - or giving it away. I've turned the theme off - even though it should only be drupal-dev people visiting the site to demo features - but I don't want to rub anyone the wrong way. andre
