Theme without boostrap

[c0mp0ser]

Could you post your whole theme somewhere so we can test it out?

Theme I'm working at is available in this post: viewtopic.php?t=3140

A theme without bootstrap should still work with Summernote, as the Summernote plugin already includes the necessary Bootstrap libaries.

Everything I write is just to encourage consideration from the project participants, including plugin authors. For example: if the theme contains some version of Bootstrap, and the plugin loads another ... ? Try to imagine this mess. And so on.

Please understand that WonderCMS is completely free, open source and we also depend on user contributions. Most of the main contributors help out as a hobby while having regular jobs, families, so it's not easy to take dedicated time for all user requests - the internal team main focus is to keep the core of WonderCMS clean, secure and up to date and not shoot focus on user based themes and plugins.

Please understand that I don't hold a grudge against anyone. I'm not making demands or creating pressure. I'm trying to manage on my own and match the theme I'm creating with plugins that others have already done. But I also pay attention to what I think is important when taking a closer look at the CMS as a whole, including the plugins (IMO what is optimal and what is not) and I write about that. My work on a new theme and digging in other people's code is also work and taking up my personal time. I do it because I think it's worth it, exactly the same as others.

The amount of libraries that are included only happens for logged in users and doesn't affect the performance of your website. If you feel like experimenting with any of the other ones, you can also post progress and hopefully you'd also get some help from the community, as you know it might take some effort.

I have started a new thread mentioned above and will post progress, problems and observations there. BTW the number of included libraries applies to all users who will want to edit content also on weaker Internet connections and has a significant impact on the convenience and speed of their work. As an example, the performance of mobile connections decreases dramatically as mobile coverage degrades.

I think I have written everything and exhausted this topic from my side.

Hey melbournevijay,

Welcome to the WonderCMS community!

Awesome question, this is a problem I've found before. I made a skeleton for a bootstrap-less theme on github:

For normal themes:
https://github.com/StephanStanisic/_empty

For single page themes:
https://github.com/StephanStanisic/_single

These themes include bootstrap just on summernote, summernote-air and the admin panel.

Let me know if this helps!

(These skeletons are really a WIP, any modifications/pull requests are happily welcome!)

Hi Stephan,
As new WonderCMS user, i really happy you made this clean templates. I learn a lot from your code.
I try adding an issue/tip on github, but the repo's are archived.
Maybe, if is it possible, it would be great if you can add some comments in the templates, it can help others, motivating fast(er) develop wcms templates.

Regards,
Christophe
