Template helixultimate creating Bootstrap conflicts

Asked by Jeffrey Kiefer 4 years ago Last activity 4 years ago

The default Helix template is creating conflicts.
Using the shaper_helixultimate - Default template and trying to edit a directory listing from the front end the user menu does not display. When changing to the default Joomla template it does display and there are no issues.

I am using Mosets Tree extension and contacted their support to help resolve the issue. Here is what they have found.

"Your template (heljxultimate) loads a javascript file from this location:
/templates/shaper_helixultimate/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js
and this appears to be affecting the drop down functionality.

I’m not 100% certain, but it appears to be duplicating the functionalities provided by Joomla’s version of Bootstrap javascript. When I remove that javascript file, the drop down works - so that’s one, not so elegant, workaround."

So it seems the helix ultimate template is duplicating the Bootstrap functionality.

I have attached a screen shot of the directory front end and the issue I am having.

I posted on Github.
That does not solve my problem.
How do I correct or work around this bug?
I'm not happy.

Is there a way to remove the bootstrap call in the template until the fix? I can not use it this way and my project is at a standstill.

Since I must wait for a template update that may or may not fix this bug I have a temporary fix.
I do not know what unforseen problems this may cause but I needed to do something while I am waiting.
I do not reccomend this to others but it is a quick fix.

/plugins/system/helixultimate/src/Core/HelixUltimate.php

Find this code near LINE 348:

$this->add_js('bootstrap.bundle.min.js');

And commit it out:

// $this->add_js('bootstrap.bundle.min.js');

I understand that it will be overwritten when the template gets updated.

Seems that you could have provided this information while I wait for a bug fix.
