Bootstrap 3.3

Yii 2.0 General Discussions

Hi folks!

Bootstrap 3.3 is out.

Since version 3.2 is installed automatically when Yii 2 is downloaded/installed, how can I request composer to update Bootstrap to version 3.3 ?

It corrects a bug in the nav-right right margin that is really anoying me and I want to get rid of it. :)

While its technically answered, what are ground breaking features in 3.3?

I have not checked the log yet!

If you do not need to load bootstrap from your server, you can load the latest version from CDN (in most cases using CDN will provide extra loading speed).

Inside your config files ( web.php in basic and main.php in advanced ) you can tell your asset manager to load bootstrap from CDN instead from your server.




'components' => [

    //other config


    // if you decide to use bootstrap and jquery from CDN, uncomment assetManager settings

    'assetManager' => [

        'bundles' => [

            // use bootstrap css from CDN

            'yii\bootstrap\BootstrapAsset' => [

                'sourcePath' => null,   // do not use file from our server

                'css' => [

                    'https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.0/css/bootstrap.min.css']

            ],

            // use bootstrap js from CDN

            'yii\bootstrap\BootstrapPluginAsset' => [

                'sourcePath' => null,   // do not use file from our server

                'js' => [

                    'https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.0/js/bootstrap.min.js']

            ],

            // use jquery from CDN

            'yii\web\JqueryAsset' => [

                'sourcePath' => null,   // do not publish the bundle

                'js' => [

                    '//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js',

                ]

            ],

        ],

    ],


], // components
