Hello,

the path used for managing the content types (ie : /arrange_fields/blog) is out of the admin path. So the displayed template is NOT the admin template (Seven => fluid template) but the current template (sometimes 960px large).

How to display the arrange_fields modules into the admin template ?

There are a couple different ways to get to arrange fields.

If you go to your content types, then edit a particular content type, (where you can see Manage Fields, for example), you will also see Arrange Fields.
The URL looks like this: /admin/structure/types/manage/CONTENT_TYPE/arrange-fields

That isn't within the admin path?

Also, just an observation, but you'd probably want to arrange the form using the same theme that it will eventually be displayed in, otherwise subtle CSS differences between themes might throw off your spacing and adjustments. Since arranging a form isn't something you do every day, I'd just temporarily change the theme to match, just long enough for you to arrange the form.

Hello Richard and thanks for helping,

I confirm that the it's possible to get the Arrange Field settings list from the admin in Structure > Content Types.
But once you click on the content type you want to manage, the current theme is displayed, no longer the admin theme. :(
So, I'll follow your idea to temporaly change the current theme to the admin theme, just the time to arrange the fields.
I'll be back when done.

I set the SEVEN theme as default and used the Arrange Field module.
In that way, arranging fields is really easy. You were right.

BUT, if ImageWithCropping fields (http://drupal.org/project/imagefield_crop) are used into the form, the final display is not so good : before ArrangeFields, they naturaly arrange them verticaly / after some occupy the same place, one onto the other. :-(

NB : ImageWithCropping module makes problems with others modules thet try to change the form display.

Yes, I am afraid that Arrange Fields doesn't work too well with any type of field that can change it's height using javascript. There is just no way for AF to know what that final height is going to be. At least, no way that I am aware of. If you (or anyone else?) has any ideas I'm all ears-- just please open a new issue to discuss it since this one is specifically about templates and paths.

Thanks!
Richard
