header menu vertical and text-only after upgrading to 2.10.1 from 2.8.2

[David Tauriainen]

Hello,

  I've recently upgraded an AtoM instance to 2.10.1, and it's mostly functional, but the header menu has become pure text and is displaying vertically, taking up a large amount of real estate for every page.  

There seems to be only one theme available, and that's the one being used (arDominionB5Plugin).  This was also the theme used in the 2.8.2 version.

I'm not seeing any 404's or 500 errors in the web server logs associated with the theme js or css files.  

I did try renaming the plugin directory temporarily, and the effect was similar (but with added 404's), but the background of the affected area on the page changed from dark gray to white, so when properly named, it seems part of the theme is working, but the images and drop down menus are not.

Hi

Did you build the theme?

Originally, no, as I upgraded using a tarball download.  The instructions said that building the theme was unnecessary. 

https://www.accesstomemory.org/en/docs/2.10/admin-manual/installation/ubuntu/#compile-bootstrap-5-theme-files

Is the documentation incorrect?

[David Tauriainen]

minor success: I noticed the web server logs didn't include the total base URL for the template ( https://example.com/atom/ but the templates were being referenced by /dist/css/...  instead of /atom/dist/css/...)

I manually edited 

atom/config/unavailableB5.php

atom/config/error/errorB5.html.php

atom/plugins/arDominionB5Plugin/templates/_layout_start.php

And the shape of the template has been corrected, but now the background color for the menu section is inexplicably white, so the images are white-on-white.

Writing more as I fix things:

edited atom/apps/qubit/templates/_header.php to add bg-dark in the header:

diff _header.php /var/www/atom/apps/qubit/templates/_header.php
25c25
< <header id="top-bar" class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-dark d-print-none" role="navigation" aria-label="<?php echo __('Main navigation'); ?>">
---
> <header id="top-bar" class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-dark bg-dark d-print-none" role="navigation" aria-label="<?php echo __('Main navigation'); ?>">

and things now look normal.  I don't remember having to do all that previously with 2.8.  I assume there's a more global setting for including the base path, but the lack of a dark background for the white icons in the default theme seems like a bug.

Hi

This all points to a theme rebuild.

Then my question again: Is the documentation incorrect about the tarball-provided themes not needing rebuilt?

Secondarily, what else does a rebuild do for the themes that will not have been done by my manual edits?
