show administration theme when editing page in drupal

Question

I am using a custom theme for the front end of my drupal website.I created it by modifying garland theme.And I am using garland as the admin theme.

When I try to edit a page from admin it shows the edit page with my custom theme (http://example.com/node/2/edit?destination=admin%2Fcontent%2Fnode). And It breaks up the layout.

I want to show the admin theme for all the admin tasks. This problem also occurs on the blocks page (http://example.com/admin/build/block).

Is there any custom module or core hack to show admin theme when editing pages.

Answer 1

If you want to use admin theme by non-admin users you must give permissions to that user: Permitions->System->View the administration theme

Answer 2

Be sure that you check the option in the page example.com/admin/settings/admin

Answer 3

To get the admin theme showing for non-admin users, I went to admin/people/permissions/list and checked the "View the administration theme" box for all roles.

Sounds simple except that the Filter list wasn't showing that entry when I typed theme, so it took me awhile to find it. Finally I used the browser find to find all instances of the word "theme".

Or, you could type "System" in the Filter list to show only a few options in the relevant category.

Answer 4

You can use admin theme module, download and install it , the go to permission in dmin/people/permissions then in Administration theme set permission to waht user you want by checking Access administration theme. Then goto http://chapboo.com/admin/appearance in bottom of the page in custom page add

admin/*
node/add/*
node/*/edit

and finally clear the cache

Answer 5

You have to check the checkbox under:

exemple.com/admin/appearance
