Title:
  Theme directory name and unrecoverable WSOD

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Discovered in Mahara 1.3.4

  If you give your theme's directory a name that includes a period and
  set Mahara to use this theme, it will WSOD for all users
  unrecoverably.

  To reproduce:
  1) Create a new theme. Name the folder something akin to elab2.0
  2) Select the theme as your default site theme, then log out.
  3) WSOD

  This is the relevant error in error_log:

  [WAR] 01 (lib/web.php:641) Theme name is in invalid form: 'elab2.0',
  referer: http://portfolio-
  dev.elab.athabascau.ca/admin/site/options.php

  Only the site configuration was changed; institutions were set to use
  the site default.

  I attempted the following to work around this:
  1) Renamed the theme folder, hoping it would revert to the default theme.
  2) Re-set the default theme through a direct SQL query

  In both cases, the error persisted.

  Due to apache write permissions, I was unable to delete the contents
  of $datadir/dwoo, which is where I think the problem lies.

  Finally worked around this by editing lib/web.php and commenting out
  the dirname check.
