Firstly - fantastic module - just what drupal has been crying out for! I am trying to install it on a medical site I run in the UK but have run into a snag. Im pretty much a non - coder so Im sure that there is a simple explanation for this but here goes -
I am using an Artisteer generated theme for my site which I like a lot and dont want to dump if at all possible. If I use a normal theme with drupal filedepot works fine.
The moment I switch to the artisteer theme, although the main window appears fine any popup windows become unresponsive to mouse clicks. The window appears to retain the focus as tabbing through the options works - but it is impossible to provide any input by mouse.
Im assuming this is some form of java script error prodiced by the theme itself, but I just dont know where to start looking.
Could someone give me a few pointers as to where I should start with this one?

Thanks for any help you can give me in advance!

Geoff.

Sorry - realised that this is probably more properly a support request - it seems likely that something related to my theme is causing the issue and that this may not be directly related to filedepot. That having been said - any suggestions or guideance would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

This is a similar issue that we've had with our Timesaver module as well:

http://drupal.org/node/829410#comment-3208744

The user has an Artiseer theme that was/is experiencing the same type of issue. We're using the Yahoo User Interface for some of the components for both Filedepot and Timesaver.

Thanks for the pointer to this - I think I should have picked it up myself from a search! Im sure that the issue is the Yahoo User Interface (YUI) libraries - the symptoms described on the thread that you pointed me to are exactly what I am experiencing.
I would dearly love to use my current Artiseer theme with Filedepot - but this will mean that I will have to solve this problem. I guess that if there are enough people affected then someone might be kind enought to have a look at it?
Meanwhile I will post on the Artiseer forum to see if they are aware. Any further help much appreciated.

I'm having the same issue with an Artisteer generated theme. Was driving me crazy, so glad to see others..

Starts up, and you can click on menu items ok (latest files, notification, etc.) but as soon as you hit a button (new folder or upload) an greyed-dialog box comes up and locks the page out. You have to hit the back button to escape to the previous page.

To save others the hassle, As of right now, it appears as though Filedepot Does Not work with Artisteer - Generated Themes.

Sad, because I imagine it's a really kewl module.

I would be happy to put some effort into testing any fixes that are presented.

Thanks

I came across this problem with an Artisteer theme and found a reasonably straightforward workaround by applying the admin theme, like so:

1) Install and enable an administration theme (I like http://drupal.org/project/cleanr).
2) Read the top answer on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1393464/drupal-administration-theme-d....
3) Create a tiny custom module (yeah, I know, that's why I said 'reasonably' :-) with one function, as follows:

function mymodule_init()
{
    if (arg(0) == 'filedepot')
    {
      $GLOBALS['custom_theme'] = variable_get('admin_theme', '0');
      drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('module', 'system') .'/admin.css', 'module');
      drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('theme', 'myadmintheme').'/jscripts/adminjs.js');
    }
}

This applies the admin theme to the /filedepot page, and (with cleanr) it then works as expected for me.

PS. If the filedepot module had a setting to use the admin theme for /filedepot, that would be dandy.

I have exactly the same issue with a theme that was slightly modified but based on the comons origins them of Acquia/Topnotch. Anyone else had this with Drupal commons or a TopNotch theme?

I found this issue using the bootstrap theme. Filedepot would hang trying to make new folders (I could do this in the create content interface).

The issue resolved once I changed themes.
