Issues while trying to upgrade from 18.4 to 20.0 a site using tikinewt theme
I'm running a Tiki for ages now and I tried to upgrade recently from 18.4 to 20.0.
I'm using the tikinewt theme and the whole site has hardly any modifications.
At the top there are two custom modules located:
{tr}<img alt="Atoth CVC Logo" align="left" style="border: 2px; background:transparent; padding: 8px 8px;" src="img/atoth/cmr_logo.png" /><img alt="Atoth Site Logo" align="right" style="border: 2px; background:transparent; padding: 8px 8px;" src="img/atoth/atoth_logo.gif" />{/tr}
placing a logo on the left and another on the right.
-{tr}<h2>Semmelweis Egyetem, Városmajori Szív- és Érgyógyászati Klinika, Atoth Tikiwiki</h2><h3>Semmelweis University, Heart and Vascular Center, Atoth Tikiwiki</h3>{/tr}
a thick header messages between the two logos.
The Site layout is set to Basic Bootstrap.
The footer has a Custom CSS to make it center aligned:
footer.footer { text-align: center; } #top_modules, #topbar_modules, #pagebottom_modules { margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; }
This has been suggested to me previously on the IRC channel.
There are five problems with the new look&feel I'd like to mention:
1. The header no longer has the arrangement that the two logos are on the two sides of the thick message. The two logos are besides or slightly below eachother. It is variable based on the browser, but 18.4 has a consistent look&feel accross three major browsers.
2. Chrome put the left end the right column besides eachother right to the middle column.
3. The horizontal menu line below the header looks really weird in Chrome and in case of Explorer and Firefox it exceeds the window width creating a horizontal slider. In contrast 18.4 broke the wider horizontal menu into two lines in a consistent manner accross browsers and it looked fine.
4. In Chrome I can no longer see the borders of the modules of the left and the right columns. Meanwhile the middle column doesn't shows the neat internal structure and arrangement that could be seen in case of 18.4.
5. The Tiki logo, the style and some RSS feed links were located in the center of the footer for 18.4. In case of 20.0 I can no longer see the logos and the style, and it's on the left for Firefox and Explorer disregarding the Custom CSS.
I'd like to keep a consistent look&feel as it is now for 18.4 after upgrade. Please let me know if there are any suggestion how I can maintain the arrangement of the site for 20.0.
I've uploaded some example screenshots to show what I mean:

Although offtopic, I'd also like to mention, that there were some errors while upgrading the database, like these:
Error in unknown patch script ALTER TABLE `messu_messages` convert to character set DEFAULT COLLATE DEFAULT You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DEFAULT' at line 1
This is repeated for almost each table of the database. Note, that I've recently upgraded to MySQL 8.0 from 5.7 and the default encoding is utf8mb4 now.
And there are a couple of these:
ALTER TABLE `tiki_pages` CHANGE `data` `data` mediumtext COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci Column 'data' cannot be part of FULLTEXT index Error in unknown patch script
I don't think it has anything to do with look&feel, but if you have any clue about these, please let me know.
