Quick Start

Include "pinax-theme-bootstrap" in your requirements file and "pinax_theme_bootstrap" 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_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.

Forms

This theme ships with a basic template tag for rendering forms that match the markup expected by Bootstrap.

To style forms, add the following to the top of your template

{% load bootstrap_tags %}

and include your form using the following markup:

<form>
    <fieldset>
        <legend>My Form</legend>
        {% csrf_token %}
        {{ form|as_bootstrap }}
        <div class="form-actions">
          <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
        </div>
    </fieldset>
</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:

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>

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.
