Free Bootstrap templates, compatible with Fabrik - please advise

[AlexKite]

Hi Fabrik forum,

Please advise come free responsive templates, compatible with Fabrik.
Protostar is already a little bit boring;
I've tried JA Purity III - and it doesn't work good - all Fabrik output is distorted.

I use J 3.3.6 with latest Fabrik from Github, hosted on CloudAccess.net.
PHP version is 5.3.29 - maybe this is the reason why JA Purity III fails to fetch Fabrik correctly?

Anyway, please advise another approved responsive free templates to use!

You need to use templates \ frameworks which use Bootstrap 2 or have a Bootstrap 2 compatibility mode. I believe JA Purity III is Bootstrap 3 but if I remember correctly it does have a Bootstrap 2 mode, if it doesn't then have a look at their blank templates as that's what I use.

I've examined docs of Purity III but unfortunately seems it doesn't have B2 compatimility mode.

- my search attempts failed.
I've never heard about blank templates.
Are they free to use? Do they provide a "sticky" menu? This feature is very suitable when I have a long-long Fabrik Lists

The solution is to install the plugin TWBootstrap (http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension/style-a-design/templating/twbootstrap).

I wrestled with this problem for 18 months until just the other day I discovered this plugin. It is free, and it is a lifesaver.

I am using it with Artisteer to create templates that are J! 3 compliant and Bootstrap compatible.

Works like a charm.

Have a look at the 'Legacy Compatible' switch within 'General' in the template settings.

If this still doesn't work then post a screen-shot as it isn't clear what 'distorted' means and whether this is Lists or Forms.

Have a look at the 'Legacy Compatible' switch within 'General'

I've switched on 'Legacy Compatible' and it helps - all missed icons returned to their places.
But there's one place where icons disappear after hovering upon them:

Please can you help me to fix these disappearing buttons?
The bug exists when I use Purity III. Tested in latest Firefox and IE on different computers, even on smartphone.
With Protostar everything works fine:

Well there something wrong with you Purity III template which is got overwrite css somewhere else. You need to search a code contains named hover then modify it inside your template or bootstrap template folder.

I'm using the Purity III template and Legacy mode is working well for me on Joomla 3.3.3. The only thing I see that could use an adjustment is the date / time element picker pop-up. Please see the attached snippet. I'm trying to make the popup height greater than 100px. I tried the following within \components\com_fabrik\views\details\tmpl\bootstrap_tabs; as the pic is from a tabbed detail form.

.fbDateTime.fabrikWindow {
    height: 300px !important;
}

It didn't work. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Do you have a link to your form?

Hi Troester.
Unfortunately, the site is on a local server only. I decided to continue with a different template and it works well with Fabrik.
I'll close this thread.

Hi Bren,
I can't find any alternative free template that works fine without bugs.
The controls are all stacked in Purity III template:

Bootstrap2 compatibility is turned on, but it doesn't help:

I tried T3 Blank template but results are also distorted.
Pleas advise some free template (other than Protostar) (((
