CSS / HTML / Javascript Frameworks (Bootstrap, Foundation, Kickstart)

Permalink
Hi everyone,

With the rising popularity of frameworks to speed up production (amongst other things), I am sure there are a lot of people that will be considering/hoping to use a Framework such as
Bootstraphttp://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/...
Foundationhttp://foundation.zurb.com/
Kickstarthttp://www.99lime.com/
Skeletonhttp://www.getskeleton.com/

I am therefore starting a thread to investigate their compatibility with C5 and hopefully leverage everyone else's brains to solve any issues. My current issue/solution list is below.

Bootstrap
As this is used for the admin panel theme there are most certainly some issues. I didn't document them first time round so I will add them later when I go for try two.

I am currently investigating seeing if you can give all of the bootstrap a namespace. This should hopefully be less work to implement as it is built in less (otherwise it is 3000 lines of css).

tooltip class - bootstrap add position absolute and opacity 0 to this class, thus the Edit Page button is not visible at all.

[class^="icon-"], [class*=" icon-"] - width 14 breaks page custom attributes page.

Foundation

Position: relative - applied to body by foundation, breaks grey hover overs when in edit mode.

tooltip class - breaks position of edit page button due to position :absolote being applied.



Please feel free to chime in with your experiences. Thanks :)

I happen to have a theme in the marketplace called 'FlexCRETE' that is based on the Skeleton framework. Currently, it's free, but I will very soon be charging for it, as I making improvements to it.

Also, I happen to be working on another theme that will be using the Foundation framework!

And... I have another free theme coming out possibly within a week or two that is based on a fluid 960 grid system.

What were your experiences with skeleton - did everything work out of the box? On which versions of C5 did you test?

I use skeleton on my themes, I cherry pick the bits I want, mostly the media queries, havnt had any C5 related problems with Skeleton.

I also use bits of bootstrap, typography styles, some buttons that kind of thing and so far not had any issues, I will say though, that my experience only extends to themes, add-on builders have a bit more to worry about with Bootstrap I believe.

Hi Vidall,

Have you tested your bootstrap themes in 5.5? Did you selectively include just some of the css?

Hi there, yer a couple of my marketplace themes use it, and they are 5.5 + compatible, I do just grab the bits I need, otherwise I end up with a lot of redundant code.

It worked out of the box. It works with 5.4.2 that I know of.

I even developed another theme based off it and integrated Masonry (a jquery layout engine).

http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/themes/flexcrete-masonry/...

It is the only Concrete theme that has a masonry layout, is responsive, AND is built on the Skeleton framework.

You'd be surprised at what you can do with Skeleton!

I use alot 1140 framework.
And I have my own js framework if it can be called that way with all the components I tend to use in a project (tabs, tooltips etc).
Personally I'm preparing myself to create my own web framework with c5 in mind as its my cms of choice.
