Bootstrap themeing

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Is there a tutorial somewhere showing themeing a bootstrap site? It's been commented on by tons of people in here. Do I just start out with all the files in a regular bootstrap site and start themeing it like any other site? Is there still conflicts with the dashboard or has that been all resolved by Concrete using specific class wrappers?

And yes I know there is several themes using bootstrap. I have already built sites with bootstrap and wanted to switch the CMS over. They are currently using Coldfusion CMS that I had written but Coldfusion seems to have security issues these days.

I dont know if there are any videos but there are only two things you need to take care of

1. Jquery, I have no idea why this is but if you try and pull in a jquery library through a CDN your site will go haywire. Concrete5 comes with jquery already so at worst you will just need to add some .js scripts concrete/js directory.

2. The edit bar and JqueryUI, Bootstrap is big, Heck LESS is big. So there is going to be a ton of Z-index's. Concrete5 uses these sparingly but the ones they do used never for higher then 5 while bootstrap seems to start theirs at 5,000.

The easiest way to deal with this is control-f type in Z index and start lowering, it never takes more then an hour and if you are proficient with CSS you should be able to construe which parts of the site these z-indexes represent.

All of our sites on concrete5 are done in bootstrap themes
