Hi, When my theme is selected as the default theme, the admin interface is shown using my theme. In that case, I can't configure the blocks displayed. Clicking on a block does not open the inline configuration; firefox's error console shows: Error: returnElement has no properties If I switch the default theme to classic, then I can change whatever I need, and the changes go into effect. After that, I can switch back to my theme as the default, and everything works just fine. Any ideas? I'm running G2.2RC1 now, but this happened with 2.1.2 as well.

You could make the default theme a stock theme so that the admin inteface works. Then configure all other albums to use your theme that does not work. But I guess you tried that and found the the dynamic albums will not use your custom theme.
I had a custom theme that did something similar ( dont recall how I fixed or if I fixed it )

Right now, I leave my theme as the default (for the dynamic albums, and for any new albums), and just switch it if I need to configure a block. It works, but it's an ugly solution.

Can you post your theme? I am no Javascript expert but I suspect that your theme has a JS error as you reported.

See http://mikeage.net/content/gallery-codebase/themes/mikeage/
It includes the JS from Lightbox JS 2.0... I wonder if that could have something to do with it.

Ok, found where the problem is (I think). Lightbox includes prototype.js, which is acausing the problems. If I remove that, everything works great.
Now to figure out why...

Can you zip it up? I don't want to download each file one at a time to see the error.

I can reproduce the problem simply by adding prototype.js (from mikeage.net/common/lightbox) to any theme.
Unfortuntely, prototype.js is already the latest version (1.4 - from prototype.conio.net), and Lightbox JS 2.0 requires it.

I added the js file from prototype.conio.net and then addedthe code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="{g->theme url="prototype.js"}"></script>just before the close head of matrix theme and get no error. (g2.2rc1)Dave

I didn't try matrix -- just classic and some classic derived themes.

Was there a fix for this, I have the same issue?

I haven't found a fix, but the workaround is to temporarily change the default theme.
