plonetheme.bootstrap 1.0b1

Introduction

plonetheme.bootstrap integrates the bootstrap css/js framework into plone. You can checkout the framework at http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap

It overrides some templates and uses javascript to transform some markup in order for it to work correctly.

It’s not perfect, but it’s close.

Dependencies

Latest Twitter Bootstrap javascript required jQuery 1.7.x, you can install it in Plone pinning plone.app.jquery in your buildout to version 1.7.1.1 as follows:

[versions]
...
plone.app.jquery = 1.7.1.1

Documentation

This product is based in Twitter Bootstrap version 2.2.1 and it redistributes it according to its License terms.

This product adds both the basic CSS file and also the Responsive one to have your site mobile-enabled from the start.

The generated markup is based on ‘fluid CSS’ and it contains a 12 column grid.

The basic HTML markup is a mix of plonetheme.sunburst and Twitter Bootstrap and it uses the same approach of constructing the columns with as Sunburst: a simple view that returns the classes needed to have the correct column widths.

If you want to change those widths, just override the view.

This product is intended to be used in two scenarios:

• As a theme from Plone

• As a base theme to build Plone themes for your site following ‘old practices’

Some designers prefer to work following the old best-practices instead of using the Diazo-way-of-theming, this product is for them. You can create a theme package (check templer skeleton generator), and base your them on this one.

If you have any problem using this product or find any bug, please report it using the GitHub issue tracker.
