Broken "Admin Theme"-Field

[thmsnhl]

Hi everyone,

I have trouble with one of my PW-sites, I wanted to disable the "admin theme"-field in the user-profile settings.

My first attempt was to go to "Setup->Fields" -> "show built-in-fields" -> "admin_theme" -> "input->visibility" and change "Show this field only if..." to "role!=texter" now I hit "save" and checked if it worked correctly. It did not, so I decided to undo my steps and leave the "Show this..."-field empty. But now the radio-buttons in user-profile settings, to choose an admin theme, are gone completely and I have no idea how to fix this.

I would really appreciate any help. 

Cheers, 
Tommy

Hey there,

First, I think the field is "roles" not "role" - at least that's what my lister tells me (you can see the lister selector when debug mode is on)... anyway I don't think that's your main problem.

I followed the exact same steps you did and the same thing happened to me - after I set a condition in inputfield dependency ("roles=38") for admin_theme field, which didn't work to hide the field - I removed the condition, and after that the field is not showing its options.

So then I created two test fields (one integer and one Pagefield with radio selection for single Page only) and added it to user, then I followed the exact same steps (show only if "roles=38") - and it worked perfectly for both of them. Both fields show up in the edit-page of the users with role=38(superuser role in my case), but not in any of the others.

So I'm thinking this may be a quirk of the admin_theme field. Ryan will probably take a look at it when he sees this, or you can post to github to get his attention if it's urgent.

Hi nickie,

thank you for your response. Good to know, that I'm not the only one with this Problem.
I've also tried the same procedure with test fields and they worked fine.
