Incorporating Twitter Bootstrap Form Styles
4 April 2012 at 3:01pm
Hey All,
I'm currently playing around with the Twitter Bootstrap front-end kit for a new site I'm working on. The way forms are styled is particularly attractive and lightweight (see http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/base-css.html#forms), but I'm a little stuck in terms of making it play nice with SilverStripe.
Simply including the relevant CSS works as a starting point (basic text fields get formatted properly, for example), but certain elements require a little extra markup. Buttons, for example, need "btn" in the class attribute for the various button states to work.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Which files do I need to work with in order to customise the markup used in form generation?

The individual form field templates are hard coded in PHP and hard to replace easily in 2.*. In 3.0 they are available as templates so you can edit to your hearts content.
If you're wanting to customize your own form classes you can use templates - http://doc.silverstripe.org/sapphire/en/topics/forms#using-a-custom-template

Thanks very much, I'm still on 2.4.7 with this particular site so I just hacked some of the core files. Not ideal, obviously, but given that my next upgrade will be to 3.x, not a big deal. Thanks again for the reply.
