Hello 
So, before, you have to know that I am newbie with Yii.
Then, t’day, I tried to use Bootstrap with Yii, I followed all what is written on the Setup page of Yii-bootstrap, but it doesn’t work with me!
I don’t get any error, it’s just that the stylesheet is not applied…I tried some code source from the Docs but without success!
Thanks for your help
Hi there
can you post some code
Make sure you have this line in the main layout:
<?php Yii::app()->bootstrap->register(); ?>
Hi there
So, here’s my files:
config/main.php :
<?php
// uncomment the following to define a path alias
// Yii::setPathOfAlias('local','path/to/local-folder');
Yii::setPathOfAlias('bootstrap', dirname(__FILE__).'/../extensions/bootstrap');
// This is the main Web application configuration. Any writable
// CWebApplication properties can be configured here.
return array(
'basePath'=>dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'..',
'name'=>'My Web Application',
// preloading 'log' component
'preload'=>array('log'),
// autoloading model and component classes
'import'=>array(
'application.models.*',
'application.components.*',
),
'modules'=>array(
// uncomment the following to enable the Gii tool
'gii'=>array(
'class'=>'system.gii.GiiModule',
'password'=>'gii',
// If removed, Gii defaults to localhost only. Edit carefully to taste.
'ipFilters'=>array('127.0.0.1','::1'),
),
),
// application components
'components'=>array(
'user'=>array(
// enable cookie-based authentication
'allowAutoLogin'=>true,
),
// uncomment the following to enable URLs in path-format
'urlManager'=>array(
'urlFormat'=>'path',
'rules'=>array(
'<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/view',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
),
),
/*'db'=>array(
'connectionString' => 'sqlite:'.dirname(__FILE__).'/../data/testdrive.db',
),*/
// uncomment the following to use a MySQL database
'db'=>array(
'connectionString' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test',
'emulatePrepare' => true,
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '',
'charset' => 'utf8',
),
'errorHandler'=>array(
// use 'site/error' action to display errors
'errorAction'=>'site/error',
),
'log'=>array(
'class'=>'CLogRouter',
'routes'=>array(
array(
'class'=>'CFileLogRoute',
'levels'=>'error, warning',
),
// uncomment the following to show log messages on web pages
/*
array(
'class'=>'CWebLogRoute',
),
*/
),
),
),
// application-level parameters that can be accessed
// using Yii::app()->params['paramName']
'params'=>array(
// this is used in contact page
'adminEmail'=>'webmaster@example.com',
),
);
//Boostrap!==>
return array(
'theme'=>'bootstrap', // requires you to copy the theme under your themes directory
'modules'=>array(
'gii'=>array(
'generatorPaths'=>array(
'bootstrap.gii',
),
),
),
'components'=>array(
'bootstrap'=>array(
'class'=>'bootstrap.components.Bootstrap',
),
),
);
And when I tried this following code, on the index page, just for testing, it didn’t work (the stylesheet wasn’t applied):
<?php $this->widget('bootstrap.widgets.TbButtonGroup', array(
'buttons'=>array(
array('label'=>'1', 'url'=>'#'),
array('label'=>'2', 'url'=>'#'),
array('label'=>'3', 'url'=>'#'),
array('label'=>'4', 'url'=>'#'),
),
)); ?>
Hi.
I did so, and I got this CException:
Property "CWebApplication.bootstrap" is not defined.
Thanks for your help guys:)
andy_s he has already done the ext registration in his config
i_can can you see the bootstrap css file in your html page do view source and double check please
Hi
I checked the source page, and it seems like that the bootstrap css file is not loaded at all.
Here’s the head bloc code:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="language" content="en" />
<!-- blueprint CSS framework -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/YiiTest/css/screen.css" media="screen, projection" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/YiiTest/css/print.css" media="print" />
<!--[if lt IE 8]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/YiiTest/css/ie.css" media="screen, projection" />
<![endif]-->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/YiiTest/css/main.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/YiiTest/css/form.css" />
<title>WebLib</title>
</head>
have you already tried this?

hope it help you
~Happy Coding~
Though it is too late but for the reference of new comers
your protected\config\main.php need only one return. after adding bootstrap extension it will look like this
<?php
// uncomment the following to define a path alias
// Yii::setPathOfAlias('local','path/to/local-folder');
Yii::setPathOfAlias('bootstrap', dirname(__FILE__) . '/../extensions/bootstrap');
// This is the main Web application configuration. Any writable
// CWebApplication properties can be configured here.
return array(
'basePath' => dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '..',
'name' => 'Contacts',
// preloading 'log' component
'preload' => array('log'),
// autoloading model and component classes
'import' => array(
'application.models.*',
'application.components.*',
),
'modules' => array(
// uncomment the following to enable the Gii tool
'gii' => array(
'class' => 'system.gii.GiiModule',
'password' => 'yourPasswordHere',
// If removed, Gii defaults to localhost only. Edit carefully to taste.
'ipFilters' => array('127.0.0.1', '::1'),
'generatorPaths' => array(
'bootstrap.gii',
),
),
),
// application components
'components' => array(
'user' => array(
// enable cookie-based authentication
'allowAutoLogin' => true,
),
'bootstrap' => array(
'class' => 'bootstrap.components.Bootstrap',
),
// uncomment the following to enable URLs in path-format
/*
'urlManager'=>array(
'urlFormat'=>'path',
'rules'=>array(
'<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/view',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
),
),
*/
// database settings are configured in database.php
'db' => require(dirname(__FILE__) . '/database.php'),
'errorHandler' => array(
// use 'site/error' action to display errors
'errorAction' => 'site/error',
),
'log' => array(
'class' => 'CLogRouter',
'routes' => array(
array(
'class' => 'CFileLogRoute',
'levels' => 'error, warning',
),
// uncomment the following to show log messages on web pages
/*
array(
'class'=>'CWebLogRoute',
),
*/
),
),
),
// application-level parameters that can be accessed
// using Yii::app()->params['paramName']
'params' => array(
// this is used in contact page
'adminEmail' => 'webmaster@example.com',
),
'theme' => 'bootstrap', // requires you to copy the theme under your themes directory
);
in case you didn’t choose bootstrap as your theme then in your views\layouts\main.php add following line
<?php Yii::app()->bootstrap->register(); ?>
and finally use bootstrap widgets
<?php $this->widget('bootstrap.widgets.TbButton', array(
'label'=>'Primary',
'type'=>'primary', // null, 'primary', 'info', 'success', 'warning', 'danger' or 'inverse'
'size'=>'large', // null, 'large', 'small' or 'mini'
)); ?>
