kino, one of Geeklog.jp members, devised a nice way to automatically select the Professional theme in the admin screen when there are no corresponding files in the layout/some_theme/admin directory. This hack will save theme creaters the time and trouble to design admin screens, for few people will need special admin screens. Step #1 Modify lib-common.php Around line 329, add the following
Text Formatted Code

// In case we find no admin templeate, we fall back to Professional theme automatically
    if( strpos( $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], '/admin/' ) !== false ){
        if( is_dir($_CONF['path_layout'] . 'admin' ) === false ){
            $_CONF['theme'] = 'professional';
            $_CONF['path_layout'] = $_CONF['path_themes'] . $_CONF['theme'] . '/';
            $_CONF['layout_url'] = $_CONF['site_url'] . '/layout/' . $_CONF['theme'];
        }
    }
 
Step #2 Modify lib-admin.php Change the lines 80 and 287 from
Text Formatted Code

$admin_templates = new Template($_CONF['path_layout'] . 'admin/lists');
 
to
Text Formatted Code

// In case we find no admin templeate, we fall back to Professional theme automatically
    if( is_dir($_CONF['path_layout'] . 'admin/lists' ) === false ){
        $admin_templates = new Template($_CONF['path_themes'] . 'professional/admin/lists');
    } else {
        $admin_templates = new Template($_CONF['path_layout'] . 'admin/lists');
    }
 
Step #3 Remove admin templates of themes ** other than Professional theme **

Why only do it in admin?

Just modify Template.class.php slightly. (This is totally untested code.)
Text Formatted Code
  function filename($filename) {
    global $_CONF; // don't forget this

    if ($this->debug & 4) {
      echo "<p><b>filename:</b> filename = $filename</p>\n";
    }
    if (substr($filename, 0, 1) != "/") {
      $filename = $this->root."/".$filename;
/// add from here
      if (!file_exists($filename) && isset($_CONF['path_default_theme'])) {
        $filename = $_CONF['path_default_theme'] . $filename; // like all $_CONF['path...'] variables, it should end in a '/'
      }
/// to here
    }

    if (!file_exists($filename)) {
      $this->halt("filename: file $filename does not exist.");
    }
    return $filename;
  }
 

Just set $_CONF['path_default_theme'] to $_CONF['path_layout'] in config.php. It remains your default theme when lib-common starts messing with the $_CONF['theme'] and $_CONF['path_layout'] variables.

Rereading the OP I see we solve two different issues. My change could cause mixed themes where certain files are missing making stuff unreadable depending on how stuff gets inherited.

The purpose of this correction lies in fixing the template of the management screen.

It is possible to process at high speed in correcting in this place.
