Domain Theme settings - Subsites admin theme set, but won't take (D6.x)

i am using Drupal 6.5 and Domain Access 6.x-1.2, but have the same problem jasonalank described in #245139: Domain Theme settings - Subsites admin theme set, but won't take.

the issue is still that i set the administration theme, but i only get the administration theme on the main/default site. i do not get it on the other sites. in other words, when i am on an /admin page on a non-default site, i see that site's normal domain theme. what i WANT to see is the Administration theme.

also, i'm not sure if it's related, but i have noticed that back on the main system themes page (/admin/build/themes/select), i sometimes lose the themes that have previously been selected. by "lose", i mean that all the themes which were "Enabled" (checked) are now unchecked. i have not figured out yet when/why this happens.

i actually have two different drupal installations, each with multiple domains sharing a single database (one db per installation). one installation is for production, the other for development. they both have this problem: the /admin pages on non-default sites appear without the admin theme, instead using the domain theme for that domain.

i've been over the README.txt's for Domain Access and for Domain Theme multiple times, attempting to ensure that i've not forgotten something.

even if i go in and set the administrative theme for each site individually (i assume this is a feature of Domain Conf, which i have turned on), it still doesn't "take" -- to use jasonalank's term.

please let me know if this is something i'm still not doing correctly, and/or if this is true for others, as well.

also, if you need more info about my setup, let me know.

thanks.

thanks, a.r. -- okay, so (newb', here), .. are you talking about setting module weight? such as with the Utility module (http://drupal.org/project/util)?

okay, i installed the utility module (http://drupal.org/project/util) and set the weight of Domain Access to -2 and Domain Theme to -1, and the problem has gone away: the (non-default) domains' themes show regularly on non-/admin/* pages, but when on /admin/* pages, the Administration theme is shown instead -- excellent!

thank you, agentrickard.

glad to know a fix is in HEAD, as well.

sorry to re-open this, because your solution did work nicely, a.r... but now i'm finding that Drupal keeps forgetting the "-1" weight setting for my Domain Theme module. i'm not sure what's causing it, and i've done some testing without being able to forcibly reproduce it. but it does get lost. which means that the Domain Access module keeps its "-2" weighting, but Domain Theme module reverts back to weight "0". and of course, when this happens, administrative pages on a non-default domain appear in that domain's content theme, not the administrative theme.

any idea what could be causing Domain Theme to keep resetting (or losing) its "-1" weighting?

by the way, as an extra piece of information which may or may not be related: i also notice that i have a similar problem with the themes themselves: i have 4 themes enabled in /admin/build/themes (on the main domain). however, sometimes i return to this page and notice that all the themes have mysteriously been disabled (i.e., their checkboxes in the "Enabled" column are all now unchecked).. i have not tested enough to notice whether this happens at same time as Domain Theme loses its "-1" weighting, though.

thanks.
