[RC] bootlike for phpBB 3.2.8

[pit-PL]

I have no idea why, on my test board it works as expected.

Hi,
I have a question about ,,mark forums read..
why when i click on this function does not self-refresh? Every time I have to refresh the page. Thanks

I had the same problem for a while (with all styles). Either a browser problem or it is due to the server configuration.
This is often the case locally in Win10. I mostly use Firefox.
That's why I have gotten into the habit almost always of clicking on refresh in the browser.

Have you started working on Bootstrap 5 already?

[pit-PL]

Why should I work on something that is only in Alpha stage?

[serek]

To be sure it works when it reaches production stage

[RobiX]

thank you pit for this nice theme

[serek]

Everybody loves this style, it's amazing!

Any plans for Bootstrap 5 - it's currently in last beta - and phpbb 3.3?

[pit-PL]

You are probably the only person interested in this style.

That's awesome! I really appreciate, I already forked it on Github and will be testing in upcoming days. If I spot any issues, please expect a pull request.

Thanks a lot, Mr Pit

Testing is ongoing, but meanwhile I have an extensions related question.

Do you have any bootstrap styles for some extensions? I have a few - maybe we could keep it inside your extension on github or make another shared "php-bootstrap-extensions-styles" repository for that? In theory styles should be kept inside extensions themselves, but it is not easy to cooperate with so many authors and revision systems.

IMHO such a bootstrap style repo will be interesting for all phpbb bootstrap styles family either.

I have one only major comment: using hardcoded bg-white makes deployment of bootswatch skins really complicated.

Don't you think it would be worth to make the whole style bootswatch-friendly?

[pit-PL]

Do you have any bootstrap styles for some extensions?

There wasn't such a need, to be honest this style is not very popular and it will remain so.

IMHO such a bootstrap style repo will be interesting for all phpbb bootstrap styles family either.

There are 100 items in Extension Database (not saying about Extensions in Development forum), how many extension will you be able to develop and maintain for a long period of time?
If you're good at javascript, I'm not saying no.

using hardcoded bg-white

What you mean by hardcoded, what is the softcoded way?

Don't you think it would be worth to make the whole style bootswatch-friendly?

Is there any documentation about how to make a bootswatch-friendly style?

Bootstrap styles for extensions

I use more than 15 extensions - if we share at least one of them, there is less work for both of us. And as Bootstrap is the most popular framework in this world, I am sure at least one more person will join our efforts in future if we give them a hand

hardcoded / softcoded

documentation about how to make a bootswatch-friendly style

I am afraid such a documentation does not exist. Bootswatch has a wide spectrum of colour pallets in use, from very dark, through dark, gray, bright, and very bright. To make a bootswatch theme is enough to stop declaring particular colours as for example text-black-50, bg-white, text-white and use colour macros only, like text-primary, text-dark, text-muted, bg-dark and so on. In such a case these colours can change according to the bootswach theme used. It is not easy for you as an artist, I do understand, but in result we could have 26 bootlike themes instead of one

[pit-PL]

If it is your biggest problem I suggest that you don't bother.
You can easley overwrite unwanted colours adding your own declaration to some selectors.

Example of a child's stylesheet:

Code: Select all

@import url("../../bootlike/theme/custom.css");
@import url("../../bootlike/theme/imageset.css");
@import url("bootstrap.min.css");

.bg1 {background-color: #333;}
.bg2 {background-color: #555;}
.bg-white {background-color: #000 !important;}
.text-white {color: #000 !important;}

OK, I will try and report how far I can go with this Thanks
