a theme for Pinax based on Twitter's Bootstrap

Project description

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.
