a theme for Pinax based on Twitter's Bootstrap

Project description

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

  • With newer versions of Bootstrap a light status bar is now default. If you’d like to use the darker navbar, simply override the navbar_class block in your site_base.html to something like the following (note we include the fixed-top class in this block by default, but it’s also optional):

    {% block navbar_class %}navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top{% endblock %}
  • 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

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 %}

Pagination

This theme supports both django-pagination and Django builtin pagination. See PaginationTemplate for information how to switch between them.

Roadmap

The 2.x line of pinax-theme-bootstrap with support for Pinax 0.9 will soon be phased out of major updates. We will be releasing a 3.x line that will break backwards compatibility but fully support Pinax 1.0 projects. This is a change towards a more semantic versioning strategy in lieu of merely indicating which version of Bootstrap media is included.
