Bootstrap 2.2.0 released
- olalonde 14y agoNice, this finally fixes modals in small browser windows. http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#modals http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#modals
- latchkey 14y agoThe modals are a trainwreck in a lot of different ways. I suggest you use this code: http://jschr.github.com/bootstrap-modal/ http://jschr.github.com/bootstrap-modal/
- fudged71 14y agoEvery single demo on this page is buggy in my browser! (OSX, latest chrome).
- latchkey 14y agoDefine buggy. The guy who wrote the new modal code is pretty responsive to fixing any issues.
- fudged71 14y agoGood pun ;P Click on "View Demo" for the Responsive Modal. Modal appears with content, and disappears immediately when it reaches center of the screen. Same thing happens for Stackable, and Full Width. Click on "View Demo" for AJAX. 'Okay' button doesn't dismiss the modal, as I would expect it to. Same thing happens for Custom Manager.
- latchkey 14y agoWeird, I can reproduce it now. It seems to be something with clicking around to various different ones. I'll report it to the author and see if we can get it fixed. Thanks for giving more information. https://github.com/jschr/bootstrap-modal/issues/8 https://github.com/jschr/bootstrap-modal/issues/8
- moe 14y agoSadly they are still broken in big browsers, though. You can still <TAB> out of the modal...
- olalonde 14y agoWhat's broken in big browsers exactly? Nothing seems wrong on my MBA.
- moe 14y agoAs said, you can <tab> out of the dialog. Keyboard users often "scan" pages by tabbing back- and forth rapidly. This breaks down when the modal-dialog turns out to be not so modal after all (i.e. suddenly your keyboard focus is "behind" the dialog).
- Clorith 14y agoWould be lovely if they didn't hotlink placehold.it for their images as that site requires captcha approval before showing their images so mine is just a bunch of broken image links.
- alexdimitrov 14y agoThey went behind CloudFlare because of DDoS attacks. That is why you are seeing captchas. https://twitter.com/placeholdit/status/256201151266045952 https://twitter.com/placeholdit/status/256201151266045952
- human_error 14y agoI really don't understand most people. Why would you ever DDoS a CSS library's website?
- wingerlang 14y agoAccidental DDoS? For fun (a la 4chan etc.) etc. But yeah I understand what you mean.
- julien_c 14y agoIf it's accidental, is it really a DDoS? Or a poorly deployed/coded app? :)
- michaelbuckbee 14y agoIf you're looking for a client side alternative checkout holder.js - http://imsky.github.com/holder/ http://imsky.github.com/holder/
- dnerdy 14y agoIt doesn't look like a lot has changed in this release, but just a reminder for those who can't upgrade right away: I'm hosting all the old docs at http://bootstrapdocs.com http://bootstrapdocs.com
- joakin 14y agoThanks for this. We were left stuck in 2.0.4 for a project , it will certainly come in handy.
- rmrfrmrf 14y agoYou may already know this, but if you download the full master, you get the docs included in each release.
- markdotto 14y agoThanks for this! We're still waiting on a few changes before we do anything with hosting the old docs, so thanks for helping out in the interim :).
- gaving 14y agoBit weird linking to a zip of master, but nevermind.
- timmillwood 14y agoI have already started making used of 2.2.0 with media-list for my tweets (http://www.millwoodonline.co.uk/ http://www.millwoodonline.co.uk/). Nice to see http://www.bootstrapcdn.com/ http://www.bootstrapcdn.com/ already have the new version in their CDN.
- jenskanis 14y agoNice way to shamelessly promote your website
- thejosh 14y ago"Hey guys, I'm one of the millions of sites who use Bootstrap/Foundation on xyz.com!"
- timmillwood 14y agoYes, a little shameless, sorry. Just trying to show how some of the new features can be used.
- mgkimsal 14y agoThere aren't that many people using any 2.2.0-specific features in the wild yet, though, which is what the OP was posting to.
- shrikant 14y agoExtremely off-topic, but when I visited once during the Food Festival, I was wondering if Abergavenny had any semblance of a tech scene :-) Congratulations on living in such a beautiful place!
- timmillwood 14y agoThanks, and FYI there isn't much of a tech scene here.
- wilfra 14y agocarousel.html (one of the new examples) is really sexy. i think they learned lots of people are lazy and just leave their sites as pretty much stock bootstrap for a long time - so might as well make stock bootstrap look amazing. well done! Here it is http://dev.82.io/carousel/ http://dev.82.io/carousel/ There seems to be a bug with the carousel though. Clicking next doesn't work and the images randomly start skipping really fast etc, at least for me (Chrome/OS X)
- RutZap 14y agoSame thing happens to me (Chrome/OS X), even on the github page (http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#carousel http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#carousel) There must be a bug. Edit Tried it in Firefox - OS X and Chrome - Win7 .. same thing :(
- thejosh 14y agoSame here, Chrome/Windows and Chrome/Ubuntu.
- abraham 14y agoThe official example appears to work as expected: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/examples/carousel.html http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/examples/carousel.html
- ericcholis 14y agoHijacking the thread a bit here. Foundation (http://foundation.zurb.com http://foundation.zurb.com) also released 3.2 on October 26th: http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/changelog.php http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/changelog.php
- rmrfrmrf 14y agoIt's kind of bad PR for Foundation junkies to try to ride on Bootstrap's coattails every time there's a Bootstrap thread on HN. I get that there's bad blood there, but it really makes the Foundation guys look desperate when you beg for attention like this.
- ericcholis 14y agoFair enough. Zurb isn't desperate for HN traffic or users. It's only fair that some of the other equally good frameworks get due attention. http://www.getskeleton.com/ http://www.getskeleton.com/ http://gumbyframework.com/ http://gumbyframework.com/ http://titanthemes.com/titan-framework-a-css-framework-for-responsive-web-designs http://titanthemes.com/titan-framework-a-css-framework-for-r... http://www.angrycreative.se/wordpress/plugins/less-framework/ http://www.angrycreative.se/wordpress/plugins/less-framework...
- oacgnol 14y agoThat's what a separate thread would be for.
- ericcholis 14y agoPerhaps I should have worded it differently then. My goal was simply to provide other relevant alternatives to bootstrap. "Then why are you posting on a completely un-related post for Bootstrap, instead of letting it stand on it's own merits?" Actually, other popular css frameworks highlighting responsive design are very relevant to Bootstrap. Normally, one could let these frameworks stand on their own merits, but it seems that any bootstrap post on HN hops the popularity train right to the front page.
- bretthardin 14y agoDoes anyone else feel like every time they release a new version of Bootstrap it is never backwards compatible? I feel like lots of divs on my site need different classes than were used before.
- markdotto 14y agoThere should be no problems upgrading from 2.1.2 to 2.2.0—no features were removed and none had their classes changed.
- bretthardin 14y agoThanks Mark.
- latchkey 14y agoTwo changes that I found affected me: .label's are now display: inline-block. In my particular usage, I needed block in one area. tooltips used to default to html: true and now they default to html: false - The issue with this is that popovers are now html: false as well. I think popovers should default to html: true given their nature.
- damoncali 14y agoThere is something very wrong with having to "upgrade" your CSS.
- phillmv 14y agoMy only problem is that they don't version the docs. I couldn't care less if it were easy to find the docs. I had to revisit a bootstrap 1 site I put together for a client and it was very annoying to track down the documentation. I considered opening an issue on github but…
- sbarre 14y agoYou can just grab the tag of the version you need from Github and the docs are included in there. i.e. https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/tree/v1.0.0 https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/tree/v1.0.0 If that's too complicated for you, I believe there is even someone who hosts an archive of all the version of the docs? He posted elsewhere in this thread.. http://bootstrapdocs.com/ http://bootstrapdocs.com/
- diminish 14y agoDoes Google CDNs host bootstrap, with less or sass similar to the way they do with jquery and some other javascript libraries?
- aubergene 14y agono, but http://cdnjs.com http://cdnjs.com does, although I don't think they have the CSS
- backbonejstutes 14y agowe do have the css, just not linked on the home page yet. check out the repo to see the links or http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/2.1.1/css/bootstrap.min.css http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/2.1....
- backbonejstutes 14y ago2.2.1 has just been merged in also https://github.com/cdnjs/cdnjs/pull/519 https://github.com/cdnjs/cdnjs/pull/519
- extesy 14y agoUse this one: http://www.bootstrapcdn.com http://www.bootstrapcdn.com, it also hosts FontAwesome and some extra themes for Bootstrap.
- sapien 14y agoDoes it fix the bug In the most recent version whereby dropdowns wouldn't work on ios safari?
- danek 14y agoIts still not fixed on iOS chrome. I like bootstrap but it's a disaster on ios.
- papsosouid 14y agoI'm mainly a backend guy but do some frontend work from time to time. I keep seeing all this talk about a dozen different CSS "frameworks", and I just don't get it. Can someone explain to me what the purpose of these things is? Bootstrap's site for example doesn't even try to tell me what I would want it for, it just says I want it "because its for nerds" (do I have to dress in faux-nerd chic and live in the valley to use it?) and that it uses grids (that's the opposite of a selling point guys). From looking at the code, all I see is a bunch of boilerplate CSS that seems to deliberately work against the nature of CSS (protip: the C stands for cascading), and is very brittle and tied to specific classes and markup rather than using selectors to be general and reusable. Is that really all it is, just a "I'm too lazy to design my site, so I'll just use twitter's design"? Perhaps it is just the word "framework" throwing me off since it doesn't appear to be a framework in any way? I know this is going to sound needlessly critical to some people, but I am expressing genuine confusion here, I really don't understand what I am supposed to use this for, or how it would help me in any way.

I think they're doing their best. It's very hard to write both clean CSS and cross-browser compatible CSS. I know this is going to sound needlessly critical to some people, but I am expressing genuine confusion here, I really don't understand what I am supposed to use this for, or how it would help me in any way. If one of the following applies to you, Bootstrap is for you: "I'm too lazy to design my site." "I suck at design." "I don't have enough time to design my site from scratch." "I don't have enough money to hire a designer." "I want to signal my site is fresh and trendy."
- papsosouid 14y ago>I think they're doing their best. It's very hard to write both clean CSS and cross-browser compatible CSS. I think that's a poor excuse. Our designers manage just fine without requiring me to generate horrible markup or dump dozens of classes on everything. For something that is intended to be used by other people, I would have higher quality expectations, not lower. >If one of the following applies to you, Bootstrap is for you Thank you for the list, that's exactly what I was hoping their website would tell me.
- halayli 14y agoOne thing Bootstrap guys should avoid doing is to modify previous css declarations. It becomes very difficult to get on the new version without breaking existing design. And by breaking I mean it will look different (line heights, spacing, etc..)
- ExpiredLink 14y agoWhat is the easiest way to customize Bootstrap without changing Bootstrap code? I mean, the easiest way for its intended audience, CSS amateurs.
- julien_c 14y agoIt's really easier to re-compile your CSS from modified LESS files.
- cies 14y agoI like bootstrap but my lessc parser under Ubuntu sucks. Bad error messages (errors dont understand importing), no autocompilation and hard to install (have to install the whole Node.js world). Anyone found a solution that works well under Ubuntu? (I use it with WordPress and Drupal; Rails would be nice but there I run for Sass/SCSS).
- fudged71 14y agoIn the Carousel example... there is something very wrong with the header scrolling/timing. Click the arrows a couple of times and roll across the menu. It goes crazy.
