Hi,
I?m using Fabrik since Joomla 1.5, passed many upgrade problems, and today my website is growing in complexity and features based on Fabrik. And here I must say it?s a great tool but also can give you a huge overload in trying to solve problems when things don?t work as they should.
Unfortunately every time there is an upgrade it involve template issues and therefore Fabrik is not easy to upgrade, since it is toooooo much dependent on the template or javascripts.
Incompatibility issues from Bootstrap 2 to Bootsrap 3 are behind that.
I?m using a Hellix3 framwork based template since it is so easy and nice to customize and to get the content right were you want and how you want. So it?s worth trying to use it.
I could workaround many incompatibility issues so far.
But I?m stuck somewhere behind Fabrik upgrades since each time I test new versions things go really bad.
My Fabrik running version is 3.3.3 and after that some github upgrades and then I give up upgrading.
Upgrading now to newer versions + bootstrap 3 layouts results in the following issues.
I noticed that there are many problems related to bootstrap3 incompatibility issues that require much of Fabrik code to be adapted. Layout overrides are messing up with javascript and ajax so it?s limited in resolving problems. Element size, position are not really compatible to bootstrap3. Responsive tempates behave better when no old span grid is used, and the list is huge to mention here.
Is there a chance that Fabrik team will start a dedicated version for bootstrap3 based websites ?
Or is there a nice template with a flexible framwork that you will stick to and officially recommend, and please other than the poor protostar ?
I?m happy to contribute with this effort and to keep supporting Fabrik Team.
Regards,

- CascadingDropDown - stop following watching element changes
- Hiding and Showing elements javascripts - stop working
- Yes/No or Checkboxes render incorrectly
- Multipage forms are something that I had to workaround, since they don?t work as they should.
- Fileupload element is not rendered correctly.
- And probably many other Javascript related features.
