Twitter Bootstrap Theme, for Pinax

A theme for Pinax 0.9 based on Twitter's open source Bootstrap framework.

Quick Start

Include "pinax-theme-bootstrap" in your requirements file and include "pinax_theme_bootstrap" and "django_forms_bootstrap" (which is installed alongside this theme) in your INSTALLED APPS.

Make sure both template loaders and staticfiles finders includes app directories.

Site name comes from Sites fixture.

Your "site_base.html" should extend "theme_bootstrap/base.html" and should provide "footer" and "nav" blocks (the latter should just be a ul of li of a links).

Your pages should have blocks "head_title" and "body" and should extend "site_base.html".

The url name "home" should be defined as the homepage.

Upgrade Notes

• Base templates: To enable multiple themes to be used within a single site, base

templates are now located under the "theme_bootstrap" folder. We will continue to provide base templates at the root path for backward compatibility, but these will likely be removed in a future version and you should update your site_base.html to extend from "theme_bootstrap/base.html".

• Forms Rendering: Versions prior to 2.0.3 included template tags for forms rendering.

This has now been moved out to a new app, django-forms-bootstrap. You'll need to add this app to your INSTALLED_APPS as "django_forms_bootstrap".

Requirements

This theme is officially supported when used in conjuction with Pinax 0.9. If using the theme with Django < 1.4, you will need to install a recent version of django-staticfiles as we use the {% render %} template tag.

Forms

This theme makes use of django-forms-bootstrap for simple forms support. Make sure you have the latest version of django-forms-bootstrap installed in your virtualenv (if you install this theme with pip it will be installed automatically) and add "django_forms_bootstrap" to your INSTALLED_APPS.

To style forms, add the following to the top of your template

{% load bootstrap_tags %}

and include your form using something like the following markup:

<form>
    <legend>My Form</legend>
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form|as_bootstrap }}
    <div class="form-actions">
      <a href="#back" class="btn">Go back</a>
      <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
    </div>
</form>

Bootstrap includes styles for four types of forms. To change the display of your form, add one of the following class attributes to your form tag:

Name	Class	Description
Vertical (default)	.form-vertical	Stacked, left-aligned labels over controls
Horizontal	.form-horizontal	Float left, right-aligned labels on same line as controls
Inline	.form-inline	Left-aligned label and inline-block controls for compact style
Search	.form-search	Extra-rounded text input for a typical search aesthetic

Navigation

To modify your site's navigation bar, implement the "nav" block in your site_base.html using the following pattern:

<ul class="nav">
    <li id="tab_first">
        <a href="#">First Link</a>
    </li>
    <li id="tab_second">
        <a href="#">Second Link</a>
    </li>
    <li id="tab_third" class="dropdown">
        <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">
            Some Dropdown Menu
            <b class="caret"></b>
        </a>
        <ul class="dropdown-menu">
            <li><a href="#">Some Link</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Another Link</a></li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul>

Responsive Grid

Bootstrap's responsive grid makes designing layouts that work well on every device a snap. We've included the the responsive stylesheet in this theme by default. If you'd like to remove this from your site, include the following two in your site_base.html:

{# unset the viewport, telling mobile devices to scale your site #}
{% block viewport %}{% endblock %}

{# include all default stylesheets except the responsive grid #}
{% block style_base %}
    <link href="{% static "pinax/css/theme.css" %}" rel="stylesheet">
    <link href="{% static "bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css" %}" rel="stylesheet">
    {% block extra_style %}{% endblock %}
{% endblock %}

Upgrading from Bootstrap 1.x

Previous versions of this theme were based off of Bootstrap 1.x. The following is a list of changes that you need to be aware of when upgrading existing sites:

• The default grid has changed from 16 columns to 12 columns.
• Bootstrap 2 provides a responsive grid, which we've enabled by default.
• Forms markup has changed slightly, see the example above.
• Navigation bar markup now requires a class="nav" on the ul.
