Does anyone remember how to setup G2 so it displays the default admin backend interface instead of using a custom theme's interface for the admin backend? My custom theme does not work well with the admin backend so I'd like to keep that as the admin default.

I hope this makes sense. Thanks.

Here's what I do:

Site Admin > Themes set the default theme for Gallery to Matrix

Then on the main page of your gallery, click Edit Album > Theme (tab) and select a custom theme for that album and select that theme to be applied to all sub-albums (if you desire)

Makes the back end easy to use and the front end nice looking.

Seemed to work good, thanks. The only issue is that when editing individual photos, I'm still stuck with the custom theme interface.

Ah, yeah. Forgot about that.... I think there's something that can be done to check if it's an admin page or not. I'll need to dig into that

Here we go:

Looks like there's good info here:

Where would I put that code mentioned in this thread: http://gallery.menalto.com/node/43271

Specifically:

{if $theme.adminTemplate == 'modules/core/templates/UserAdmin.tpl'}
{ g->theme include="UserAdmin.tpl" }
{elseif $theme.adminTemplate == 'modules/core/templates/ItemAdmin.tpl'}
{ g->theme include="ItemAdmin.tpl" }
{elseif $theme.adminTemplate == 'modules/core/templates/SiteAdmin.tpl'}
{ g->theme include="SiteAdmin.tpl" }
{else}
{include file="gallery:`$theme.adminTemplate`" l10Domain=$theme.adminL10Domain}
{/if}

Not sure, either theme.tpl or I think actually in admin.tpl
