G'Day all,

This is a strange one, but I've not spent much time with D7 and theme issues.

What I'm observing is that Marinelli *disables itself* repeatedly.

I have a fresh d7.4 install (via aegir) and no other contrib themes, plus only 4-5 contrib modules (Views, Panels, CTools, etc)

I go and do a bunch of content development (publishing new pages), check the site in a browser on a different machine and there is no theme. Going to the admin interface: Marinelli is not selected (nor is anything else). I set it as default and save. All back to normal.

A day later I check the site and it's back to no theme. Repeat cycle.

This seems to have happened other the course of the week whether I am working on the site or not...as if something cron-based is unsetting a variable or something?

Any clues?

How can I get Marinelli to stay on the job??

So: no one else is having a ssimilar experience? Here's another clue: each time I re-apply (enable and set to default), we get this in watchdog:

Warning: uasort() [function.uasort]: The argument should be an array in system_themes_page() (line 237 of /var/aegir/platforms/d7smallsite-222/modules/system/system.admin.inc).

There is an excruciatingly long thread or three on this issue, but it ends up being far deeper than I can follow:
http://drupal.org/node/305653

And for basic reference:
http://api.drupal.org/api/function/_system_rebuild_theme_data/7

The reason I'm still parking this in Marinelli is that the Bartik theme does not seem to exhibit this behaviour, so I wonder if it's something assocciated with the way Marinelli is hooked into drupal.

This is a very debilitating bug: any advice much appreciated.

I also have this problem.

I have some node teasers in a Views and when I click on read more I get a basic render of the node. No CSS. For other nodes it works ok.

I hope that this is not an unique bug.

Thanks for any help.

I also have this problem. #1559678: Periodically lose default theme setting

The site is at http://zzglobal.net and this just happened again now. The page show these error messages:

    Notice: Undefined index: marinelli in drupal_theme_initialize() (line 100 of /var/www/html/drupal-7.14/includes/theme.inc).
    Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in _drupal_theme_initialize() (line 145 of /var/www/html/drupal-7.14/includes/theme.inc).
    Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in _theme_load_registry() (line 334 of /var/www/html/drupal-7.14/includes/theme.inc).
    Notice: Undefined index: marinelli in theme_get_setting() (line 1332 of /var/www/html/drupal-7.14/includes/theme.inc).

I look in the Recent Log messages and see no messages that seems to relate to this. One thing might be of interest is cron just ran before this happened.

I am (and have been) having the exact same issue as boabjohn with a Marinelli-based custom theme. Has anyone figured out a solution? It is getting very old (having to re-enable the default and mobile theme all the time).

Sorry: no help here. I just stopped using the theme and have not had the problem in the themes we use now.

if this can help:
I had a similar problem on a multicite drupal. The problem was that the "default" website ("default" folder) had the same paramettres, mysql connection, the site that was the problem. When a cron was executed on the "default" site where the theme was not only installed, it generates a error that disabled the theme.
