How to show a page create with the view module in the administrative overlay?
Showing a view in the overlay just requires you to implement hook_admin_paths_alter().

function mymodule_admin_paths_alter(&amp;$paths) {
  // Treat all user pages as administrative.
  $paths['the path of your view'] = TRUE;
}


Keep in mind this:


In the path you can also use asterisks (e.g. node/*/edit), useful in the case the view is using contextual filters
If the overlay is not accessible from the user, the page will be shown using the administrative theme, which could also be the default theme used by Drupal, if the site doesn't set a the administrative theme to be another one
