Test drupal 6 version: general problems or remarks

Seems to be working well for me.

What's needed to make the admin form themable?

I tried overriding

template_preprocess_nodeorder_admin_display_form() in my zen subtheme by replacing template with mythemename and putting it in template.php to no effect

I tried copying nodeorder-admin-display-form.tpl.php into my theme and editing - no joy

In the file comments i saw
* @see theme_nodeorder_admin_display()

but this function doesn't exist. If this function:

/**
 * Menu callback for nodeorder/order.
 */
function nodeorder_admin_display($tid) {
  return drupal_get_form('nodeorder_admin_display_form', $tid);
}

were changed to
theme_nodeorder_admin_display_form_submit($form, &$form_state)
and called via
theme('nodeorder_admin_display_form_submit', $form, &$form_state)
would the theming all start working?

If no-one replies I'll try this tomorrow...

Ok I had another look:
I want to add an image thumbnail to the noeds in the ordering admin form so I copied nodeorder-admin-display-form.tpl.php to my theme - added a table cell - all fine.
To get the image src I've overridden template_preprocess_nodeorder_admin_display_form in template.php in a Zen subtheme renaming it af2008_preprocess_nodeorder_admin_display_form, however without altering the code the titles don't display. In addition, to get the image details into the $node_listing variable i think I need to add an attribute to the form in nodeorder_admin_display_form, so I override this in template.php as af2008_nodeorder_admin_display_form. Now things get strange, in my debugger I can see the original funcions in nodeorder.admin.inc AND my overrides being called.

I'm obviously missing something - do I need to register my functions somewhere or what am i missing? I tried searching for how to theme the blocks admin page as you suggested but didn't find anything useful....

In the meantime I have another problem and work around:

I have a view with a filter for taxonomy term A and an argument for taxonomy term B, but I want the nodes ordered by term B. It seems using a sort criterion of weight in tid the nodes are ordered on term A.

However as a work around I found that if I make a second argument with a default of term A, weight in tid sorts on term B.

Is this by design? If so, worth documenting...

A third possibility that I haven't investigated is that the query retrieves weight in tids for both tid's in which case I will be expecting strange behaviour as my editors start playing with noderorders...

Here's the Drupal 6 theming guide -- http://drupal.org/node/341628 -- if you've got the right .tpl.php file names in your theme, maybe you haven't cleared the theme registry.
