This page documents Bootstrap classes transition targeted for Tiki 13 and onwards to help Tiki themers and designers.

-!CSS class vs id
Guideline (rule?) about using class or id for an element

Main point is that id must be unique and can appear once only in a page. So why use ids? You can never know when you will need to display that element more than once on a page.

Tiki guideline (or rule?): only use classes, never use ids

Please argue with this statement 😊 (the goal is to have an easy to follow rule).

Isn't now pretty much a "best practice" that ids shouldn't be given CSS style properties? Their CSS style properties are too hard to override with class properties without resorting to !important, etc.

Sorry Gary, probably my bad but I don't understand your comment 😊 Can you clarify if id should be used or not as selector for elements (eg for divs)? . Sorry from me, too, for not being clear. I think ids should not be used for CSS style properties.

Overview of the main elements classes changes

Buttons

How to approach and handle buttons

Discusson points:

when should an element be a button

1.1.1.2. the default classes for a Tiki button

What are the default classes?

1.1.1.3. how to manage externals (eg: jquery dialogs)

External sources come with their own styling. How is this neutralized and turned into Tiki styling?

1.1.1.4. how to customize (write down how to do it)

eg: I dont like that the edit page save button class is btn-primary, I want it to look like btn-warning, how do I do that in my css file without modifying any other source files

<span class="button" ...>

<span class="btn button" ...>

<a class="btn" data-role="button" ...>

Overview of grid layout issues, etc.

These changes will be made in templates/layouts/bs_grid (or some name indicating Bootstrap grid compatibility. At issue is where to add class="row" container divs.

In parallel with this, presumably the idea of moving everything in the center column to modules will happen. This will simplify the template and give a lot of flexibility to page layout as well.

Overall page

This includes the top module zone, topbar module zone, side columns, center content (less div#role_main, which should be addressed separately), page bottom module zone (bottom of center column), and footer (bottom module zone).
