Bootstrap Theme

Hi everyone,

The Bootstrap3 theme is a community effort to provide a base theme for rapid customization. It implements an OJS journal using core bootstrap themes but avoids stepping beyond the core components wherever possible.

This makes it easier to drop in different third-party styles, like those bundled with the theme. But in most cases you will need to do a little bit more work with a child theme to really make it shine.

This issue has been filed and you can follow the progress here.

This is just part of the design of Bootstrap 3’s header component. I responded to a similar request with more detail here.

  1. Search uses Bootstrap’s search UI component. The expanding search is just a feature of the default theme and not necessarily a feature of OJS itself (other themes likely won’t use it).

  2. The Bootstrap3 theme just uses a different layout. But all the same content should appear. If there’s any missing content, let us know.

  3. Can you provide more information abotu the text you’re unable to translate in the Bootstrap3 theme?

  4. I’m not sure what you’re saying about “changing colors” near the end of your comment. Could you describe the problem you’re having in more detail?
