Using different themes for normal users and admin
I have had a customised theme made which relies basically on 3-4 tabs at the top of the page. The problem is, I don't know how to organise things on the admin side. I would like to use a standard theme like Garland for the admin side but wouldn't there still be a problem of where the admin menu links go? The new customised theme will not have a left side menu....only the tabs I mentioned. Is it therefore possible to use Garland for admins WITH a side menu or does a menu have to be in the same place for all themes? What do other people do to have different themes showing to their members and themselves? I know you can alter the admin theme - it's just this issue of menus that has foxed me. Neil

Yes, I know already about that. My question was whether you could get menus to show up differently in different themes. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ahmet Sezen" <asezen@gmail.com> To: <support@drupal.org> Sent: Monday, March 26, 2007 11:26 AM Subject: Re: [support] Using different themes for normal users and admin Hi, This could be your answer, goodluck.

Hi, In Block section every theme got its own block preferences, you could set your navigation menu up there. On 3/26/07, Neil: esl-lounge.com <neil@esl-lounge.com> wrote:

Neil, Do a search on drupal.org for menu_tree and theme_menu_tree -- that should get you started. Marc Neil: esl-lounge.com wrote:

Marc/Ahmet, thanks for the pointers. That sounds like it might work for me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marc Poris" <marc@funnymonkey.com> To: <support@drupal.org> Sent: Monday, March 26, 2007 12:02 PM Subject: Re: [support] Using different themes for normal users and admin Neil, Do a search on drupal.org for menu_tree and theme_menu_tree -- that should get you started.
