History: Bootstrap Transition Preps

Preview of version: 9

As part Theme Revamp, this page is to discuss, and plan an eventual transition to using Bootstrap in Tiki. As there is a general consensus we should move in the general Bootstrap direction (and be able to use Bootstrap themes), the remaining questions are no longer "if" but more "how" and "when"


Questions

  • Where will we coordinate work?
    • I think on themes.tiki.org
  • Bootstrap 2 and later 3, or directly to Bootstrap 3?
    • There are several non backward-compatible changes
  • What about LTS handling?
    • Option 1: start revamp after Tiki12 LTS
    • Option 2: start after 11.0 and try to finish for Tiki12
      • If Tiki12 isn't stable enough for a release on schedule, either
        • Option 2a) Retroactively identify Tiki11 as LTS
        • Option 2b) Identify Tiki13 as LTS
  • Do we try to support Foundation as well?

Evolution or revolution?

Do we go for a clean break / "burn all bridges" approach and force major changes on all legacy themes? or do we make an effort to try to make old themes still work?

Arguments for clean break

  • End result will be simpler code
  • End result will be closer to what people already know (people that use Bootstrap that is)
  • Most theme intense sites have more than enough features in the LTS versions and can use that until they decide to refresh their site design.

Arguments for legacy support

  • Makes it easier for heavily customized themes to upgrade


Things to watch out for

Things that Bootstrap doesn't cover

  • Logo?

Pre-requisites

  • Revamp menu system

In general

  • This is a lot of work


In version 3.0
