Please stop using Twitter Bootstrap

lionel75, quality standard design is much better than no design

I propose to consider as a framework for Hikashop getuikit.com/
UIkit offers over 30 modular and extendible components, which can be combined with each other.
getuikit.com/docs/components.html
UIkit is open source and MIT licensed. It is absolutely free of charge and you can use, copy, merge, publish and distribute the framework without any limitations.

Аbout uikit www.yootheme.com/blog/2013/07/19/uikit-released

Demonstrate the use of uikit:

Simple and elegant !

Thank you for the reference. We'll however continue to work on the compatibility with bootstrap since it's the choice that the Joomla project made. The main reason is that by being compatible with it, HikaShop will integrate better with joomla templates and thus reduce custom styling work for everyone.

This is correct, but the bootstrap offers a limited set of user interface components. In Uikit the number of required components more.

Hi,

HikaShop proposes two different design styles: "Classical" and "Bootstrap".
It is twice more than a lot of other system and the first one is not so bad for templating.

As Nicolas said. Bootstrap has been chosen by Joomla and if we want to be compatible with Joomla 3 (and more) we have to use bootstrap too.
But you can just change an option in HikaShop and not use bootstrap anymore.

Regards,

Option "Bootstrap" I like more than the "Classical" design
Alternatively one could make the "Classical" design version with UIkit

the problem seem that use predefine id class name use by a css framework prevent you to use another framework !!!
I think there is no easy way to swicht from css framework to another one !
The id/class name are in the php code ( right ? ) so joomla must use dynamic id/class ? but the html tree can be different beetween css framework !

if you want to custom a template that use boostrap or another one that don't use boostrap ( flat UI, predefine tamplate not link to css framework ) ... the work is the same.


My review is that boostrap for designer is really vapor ware ( why learn photoshop dreamweaver illustrator ...during 3 or more years ) but for php and hikashop beginner it is a must have !!!


Joomla 3.0 ll use boostrap for backend, nothing force developper ( designer !? see after comment ) of extension to use boostrap !!
before boostrap , joomla have to use css/raster /javascrit in the back and Front end and it work's .....

Thank's zlenko a lot for UI kit information , it is the way i ll go but this need to study "All" the way to custom each HTML elemement since s same rendering can use many differents techniques (mix of css , raster, svg , javascript, ) .
