Blacklist Patch
Unable to write to administrator/includes. Unable to patch files. Check your permissions.
What is Blacklist Patch?
Will it edit a bunch of files in my extensions?
If yes, what happens when I update an extension? Repatch?
Will your patches keep up with all the extension upgrades?
Am I supposed to recursively grant 775 to the administrator/includes directory?
When I use AdminPraise admin templates, it works great without insisting on editing a bunch of files outside the template.
However, I like MissionControl....looks awesome! - "The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it."

BlackList Functionality
All 3rd-party extensions are designed to work seamlessly with the default Joomla administrator template. As such they often have hard-coded design elements that render them difficult to adapt when it comes to non-standard administrator templates such as MissionControl. We have included some styling overrides in the default MissionControl template for a few well known and often installed extensions (Zoo, K2, Docman, RokDownloads, etc), but you may run into visual issues with other extensions. To mitigate this, we have provided a blacklist functionality that allows you to select extensions that MissionControl will temporarily switch back to the default template for. This allows you to administrate those extensions in a known 'safe' template, but for the majority of your administration tasks, you can use MissionControl. - "The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it."

That is a fully sick feature, just having some difficulty make that happen. The component I am using is Blue Flame Forms (which is listed as one of the Black list items). When the component is loaded it basically hides all of the original template to take over the entire page. However with Mission Control it seems to want to do the same, however the mission control header floats over the top.
Anyway, I would think this would do the trick, however I have correct permissions and that item ticked and no luck.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for the great admin template either way - love the RocketTheme stuff.

Basically the problem is joomla 1.5 there's a static method in the core called getTemplate() when you call this it basically sets the template from joomla's perspective and you can't change it again (because there's a static var in a static method). The patch just fixes this by modifying this one core method and allowing an optional parameter to override the current static variable for the template name. Without this we can't change the template dynamically, which we need for the blacklist.
In Joomla 1.6 we are able to achieve this by using some low-level overriding to replace the method entirely, but this is not available in Joomla 1.5.
Anyway, that's the purpose of the patch. And other admin templates don't have this ability as far as I know because they would run into this problem for sure.
