This is a clean and minimal Backdrop-oriented Bootstrap 3-based theme inspired by the Drupal Bootstrap theme and that provides an upgrade path from that D7 theme. It is, however, a totally separate project from the Drupal Bootstrap theme with no guaranteed compatibility between the two themes.
Features
- Bootswatch support included. Easy to pick a Bootswatch free theme.
- FontAwesome 4 support included.
- Load Bootstrap/Bootswatch and/or FontAwesome from BootstrapCDN or from the bundled libraries.
- Other tweaks:
- Navbar settings (fixed, static, top, bottom).
- Navbar user menu with cog icon.
- Breadcrumbs tweaks.
- Ability to use fluid or fixed width.
- "XX time ago" for nodes and comments instead of regular time.
Installation
-
Install this theme using the official Backdrop CMS instructions.
-
The navbar content is controlled by a layout block - "Header block". By changing settings for the "Header block", you can control the visibility of the menu, logo, sitename and site slogan.
Documentation
Beginning with version 1.x-1.4.0, the main body tag in the page HTML includes classes based on the user's role(s) and the normal path (not URL alias) of the page.
See the official Bootstrap 3 documentation for a general description of Bootstrap CSS, components, and JS resources supported by the module.
See the official Font Awesome 4 documentation for a general description of Font Awesome 4.
Bootstrap 3 comes with its own set of icons and an icon font, "Glyphicon Halflings". Bootstrap 3 icons use HTML like this (for a cart):
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-shopping-cart"></i>.
Font Awesome 4 (which is optional) provides its own set of icons, which use HTML like this (also for a cart):
<i class="fa fa-shopping-cart"></i>.
Usage and Sub-Themes
Although you can use Bootstrap Lite theme directly (perhaps with a "skin" chosen from the Bootswatch offerings), many users will wish to modify the theme further. The best way to do this is to create a sub-theme of Bootstrap Lite. See the Backdrop documentation on Developing sub-themes for details of how to do this.
The Devel Subthemer is a helpful tool for creating sub-themes.
Differences from Drupal 7
These features were dropped in the port from the Drupal Bootstrap theme:
- Starter kit. But you still can create a sub theme. See Developing sub-themes.
- Tooltip. The feature is there, but you need to follow the Bootstrap 3 documentation to make it work.
- Popovers. The feature is there, but you need to follow the Bootstrap 3 documentation to make it work.
- Anchors settings.
- Well settings.
