Hi there,
I cannot use the admin template with Zoo or JomSocial , there seems to be a issue with the CSS.
If you require login details to my test site please let me know.
Regards
Alex

I guess RT needs to add overrides for the both of them. Hopefully more extensions will be supported in the future
Hi,
An admin panel is required to work with all extensions.
This is only an alpha so we have lots of time to fix bugs and im sure Andy will get around to it when he is ready

I tested with the 2.1 version of Zoo, and didn't see anything major, was totally usable. Not looked at jomsocial yet though.
Did you read my blog regarding 3rd party extensions:
www.rockettheme.com/blog/joomla/937-miss...l-download-available
Regarding working with 'all' extensions. It's not that easy. Basically every extension developer has developed their extensions so their admin looks right with khepri. Anything different from khepri in any way, is going to potentially cause some rendering issues. The further you move away from khepri the more problems you are going to potentially have. EVERY 3rd party admin template is going to face this same problem.
MC tries to minimize this by using PHPQuery to manipulate the output of every extension to bring it more inline with the MC layout and requirements. If it doesn't catch everything, we can use custom PHPQuery injections to fix, and also custom CSS to tweak. This is why this is in alpha testing, because we hve to develop these overrides for extensions that need them. Things that follow the stock extensions like com_banners, and com_weblinks very closely will just work, but the more you veer from that and do your own stuff, the potential from problems increase. K2 for example had a custom 'dashboard' that needed a little work, but aside from that, most of the other sections worked fine. A few things had to be tweaked so they didn't run outside the tighter confines of MC

Hi,
I have installed the latest version of MC and my JomSocial config page is blank.
Any ideas why this is?
Regards
