Hi all,

How would I style the section "create content" (?q=node/add). Currently it appears as the bluemarine theme and I would like for it to appear as marvin, which I have my admin theme set to.

I have tried modifying node.tpl.php and creating a node style sheet (using the marvin one) but that just resulted in a mess..

Thanks for your help,

Jon.

Drupal 6 has the option, I believe, of using your administrative theme for adding and editing content.

In Drupal 5, though, you might could try some of the suggestions here, or on the nearby pages.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

It seems I already have that code in template.php file :)
I guess I worded my question incorrectly, how would I set the theme to marvin, as marvin or (chameleon) have no page.tpl.php file for me to adjust to admin-page.tpl.php. They just have a .theme file??

Thanks,

Jon.

In D6, you can set the content editing theme to the admin theme by navigating to Site Configuration>>Administration Theme. Click the checkbox that reads 'Use administration theme for content editing'

To get this functionality across all themes, you can't really do it with theme overrides. Use the code from this post to create a module that will provide this feature for any theme that you designate as the admin theme. I've got this working on a few different sites.
