Details

The theme implementation is close to the midnight blue theme from CKAN core. Tha main difference is that this theme follows ckanext-theming workflow. It provides and uses UI macros instead of inline HTML for standard components.

Bellow is the list of things that this plugin does differently comparint to the midnight-blue from CKAN core:

• primary block does not use CSS float. Instead if relies on Bootstrap5 col class.
• page.html uses layouts suggested in this PR. Try adding {% block page_layout %}no-sidebar{% endblock %} to any page to hide sidebar, or use sidebar-end value of the layout block to move sidebar to the other side of the page.
• field errors reported using Bootstrap5 native styles for errors. Main differences: there is no red background for error text, instead, the text itself uses red color; fields with errors have red outline.
• the whole block header_account_notlogged is not rendered if user is logged in. In the original theme, block is rendered without content.
