Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
One on the things that happens much i incompatibility with other modules, and it's usually not themekey's fault. I opened this issue to share my experience with debugging this kind of issues.

Comment #2
sinasalek CreditAttribution: sinasalek commentedIf ThemeKey debug look ok ,then the first thing i usually check is hook_init using the following code. It shows which module is overwriting themekey config (You can debug other hooks as well) :

tjharman CreditAttribution: tjharman commentedI've done some debugging and I'm getting a problem on the front page of my site.
If I put the above debug lines in, I see that it's views that's causing the problem.
I do have a view on my frontpage (the Archives block)
How I can help to debug this more?

mkalkbrennerI'm very interested in debugging issues related to views. I hope to find some time later this month to do so ...
Comment #9
tjharman CreditAttribution: tjharman commentedOk, if there's anything I can do to help you, please let me know.
My site is a personal blog only, so it can be hacked and taken down and formatted etc as much as you please.

mshepherd CreditAttribution: mshepherd commentedConfirmed the incompatibility with service lnks.
I'm investigating and I'll post back if I find anything, but if anyone has any light to shine on this... Hints would be welcome! Thanks.
Comment #11
tmckeown CreditAttribution: tmckeown commentedThere is also an incompatibility with hide submit. A possible work around for all these type of issues is to use the util module and set the weight on Themekey to a negative number. This will make it's hook_init function fire before any other module attempts to initialize the theme layer.
Comment #12
hd CreditAttribution: hd commentedAs soon as I enable the "service links" and the "general services" module (version 6.x-2.0), one of my theme switching rules
taxonomy:vid -> "whatever theme"
becomes nonfunctional, whereas other theme switching rules continue to work.
Comment #13
ericpai CreditAttribution: ericpai commentedThemekey is not working at all for me. I get this debug info on my page "mysite.com/halloween".
Skipped rule checking because another module already initialized the theme engine. $theme has been set to theme428.
For my rule chain I have: drupal:path set to halloween. I even tried with node id and it's not working either.
Comment #14
mkalkbrenner@ericpai:
Like the debug message tells, it's not ThemeKey that does not work. It's another module that does not respect some drupal coding standards.
We have two possibilities now:
1. adjust the weight of ThemeKey until it works. Therefor you can use a module called util like described here: #772262: Themekey and Webforms
2. debug which module causes the trouble like described here: http://drupal.org/node/754970#comment-2775608
Comment #15
ericpai CreditAttribution: ericpai commentedThanks. I found out it was a line of code I put in the YUI module function yuimenu_init() to get the theme path. I had added this line : $yui_source=path_to_theme();
I changed it to :
$yui_source = variable_get('yui_source','http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.5.0');
$yui_source='sites/mysite.com/'.$yui_source;
Is there a way to get the base theme path? I was trying to switch to a sub-theme using themekey.
thanks
Comment #16
mkalkbrennerpath_to_theme() returns the right result after you changed a theme.
Right now I don't understand exactly what you try to do. But if you explain your requirement more detailed I might be able to help.

tjharman CreditAttribution: tjharman commentedIf you are using commentrss, then you must download the latest dev version and then apply this patch:

I hope this helps someone.
It helped me!
Thanks,

Comment #18
AlexisWilke CreditAttribution: AlexisWilke commentedNote that in many cases changing the themekey module weight to something like -5 will solve all the problems. Although it may generate other problems, of course.
The SQL command goes like this:
UPDATE system SET weight = -5 WHERE name = 'themekey';
Thank you.

jwilson3@tjharman, CommentRSS was what was biting me, and your link fixed it. #594484: Calling drupal_add_feed in hook_init breaks theming
Thanks!
Comment #20
gregglesI also had this problem.
I found that if I disabled the http://drupal.org/project/hide_submit module themekey would work again.
I also just set the themekey module to a -1 weight using AlexisWilke's query from comment #18 and that worked reasonably well too for my site.
Comment #21
mkalkbrennerThe Drupal 7 version ThemeKey 7.x now solves this problem in a generic way. Therefore a new optional module called ThemeKey Compatibility has been added to ThemeKey 7.x-1.x.
This module allows you to integrate every other theme switching module into ThemeKey's rule switching chain!
Unfortunately this feature could not be back ported to ThemeKey 6.x because it depends on new features of Drupal 7.
Comment #22
mstrelan CreditAttribution: mstrelan commentedIn D6 if any of your modules that are executed before ThemeKey call
theme()
then the $GLOBALS['theme'] variable will be set and ThemeKey won't do anything.Comment #23

Comment #26
ShaneOnABike CreditAttribution: ShaneOnABike commentedCould I also suggest that if there are common modules that are issues that we put this on the main page for the module. I spent about an hour trying to figure out what was wrong and later realised it was because of Service Links issues.
Also, would be really awesome if the module install just set itself to a -xx weight to help prevent a bunch of problems? What do you think??
Cheers this is an awesome module - no joke.
Comment #27
ShaneOnABike CreditAttribution: ShaneOnABike commentedThe code above works really great although it would be better if we couldn't create a custom module rather than hacking core :/
In my case it was the following modules:
*
I used the same technique in #18 and set it to -1005 (wow) and it's working permanently now :)
It does make me wonder if the setup of this module shouldn't just set itself to a really low negative value by default!
Comment #28
jlyon CreditAttribution: jlyon commentedI am having a problem with the media modules filter. I am using media-7.x-1.2. On line 174 of includes/media.filter.inc, there is a call to
file_load()
:$file = file_load($tag_info['fid']);
This call somehow initiates the theme engine, which invalidates the theme switching the themekey. Can you think of any workarounds? I tried digging into file_load, but it uses an entity_load, so it seems like this is buried deep in Drupal core's internals.
Thanks!

mkalkbrenner@jilyon:
Please post a separate support request for your problem, because this issue targets 6.x.
(just copy your posting)
I'll have a look at this.

jlyon CreditAttribution: jlyon commented@mkalkbrenner: My apologies to hijacking this issue queue. I just created a new issue at #1702008: file_load() in media.module overrides themekey setting.
Comment #31
DamienMcKennaThis is related to a problem some sites have reported with Nodewords (#1986230: ThemeKey doesn't work when Nodewords Open Graph module is enabled) that isn't really caused by Nodewords.
