Component body

Small but effective module to configure which pages are to be considered administrative.

When a page is considered administrative the admin theme will be used. Also, when using the overlay module, administrative pages will open inside the overlay.

Alternatives

  • Admin theme
    Allows you to configure for which pages to use the admin theme, without forcing these pages to be marked administrative.
    uses hook_custom_theme() instead of hook_admin_paths, so modules like Overlay won't be affected.
  • Overlay paths
    Allows you to configure for which pages to use the Overlay module, without forcing these pages to be marked administrative; it allows you to show non-administrative pages in the overlay, without forcing the admin theme.

Suggestions

  • Contextual Admin
    You are probably using the Administrative pages module because you want a clear distinction between administrative and non-administrative pages. The Contextual Admin module removes administrative tabs from non-administrative pages, replacing them with contextual links.
    Note that this module is not a dependency, but rather a cool addition suggested by me (casey).
