I have a number of themes for versions 1.7 and older that i want to migrate to 1.8.1. Most things are cool, but the configuration page will not render. These themes were build on the Professional theme so i hope someone can tell me what i need to move from the new professional theme to my custom variont to get the configuration page to render?
Anyone?

To update a 1.7 theme to 1.8.0 and 1.8.1
1. Backup your original theme
2. Delete the admin directory of your theme
3. Copy from the 1.8.0 professional theme the directories admin, jquery_ui, tooltips
4. Copy from the 1.8.0 professional theme to your theme directory all login*.html files and the noscript.thtml file
5. In footer.html add {plg_footercode} just before the close body tag
6. Remove any javascript tags from header.html (that Geeklog uses)
That should get you started
(I don't think I forgot anything).

You can take a look at the theme docs file. It lists all the changes to the theme for each version (which reminds me I need to update it for Geeklog 2.1.1 when we release it)
