bootstrap helix prob or bug

Asked by Martin Seidl 4 years ago Last activity 4 years ago

Hi Guys,

I disabled helix and switched to different template and then saving an entry in sobi pro event calender worked.
The support of sobi pro told me to disable somehow the bootstrap in the template. But of course i wont switch to another template and want to keep helix.

Do u have an idea how remove this conflict or rather how to disable somehow bootstrap. Sobi runs with bootstrap3.

Hi there!

Thanks for your query.

Yes, we are using the upgraded version of bootstrap in our Helix Ultimate 2, which is Bootstrap v5.0.1.

There is no way to disable bootstrap from the template as per my knowledge.

Best Regards

It's the HU System Framework plugin that is messing with your Bootstrap 3 component.

Until Helix System Plugin 2.0.x, I have been able to isolate run legacy Bootstrap 3 components in a separate template (isolated from HU) with Helix Ultimate 1.1.4 and System Framework Plugin 1.1.4. See https://www.certifiedinfosec.com/e-learning. Unfortunately, the workaround does not help once you update past 1.1.4. Bummer.

In theory you can load needed Bootstrap3 file(s) as 2nd framework after loading BT5 of course this is not the perfect way, but.... it may work.

it's not our fault that SobiPro developer "forgot" about bootstrap upgrades.
Basic fact: Bootstrap 3.3.7 was published in 07.2016, and now we have 2022, right.

Hi Paul,

I agree 100% about the no fault statement. Sadly, it what some of us get stuck with when we try to run less maintained components on the HU platform. When the other developers won't keep up, some joomshaper customers have to find workarounds as you know. So it is in the world of Joomla.

My LMS just finally updated to support PHP 7.4 in December. Wow. I can't even update to Joomla 4 because I am not aware of another affordable fully scorm compliant LMS with solid learner management, tracking and completion certificate management. Until the LMS gets up to speed with bootstrap 5, I'm stuck at HU 1.1.4 and Joomla 3.x. Frustrating.

However, backwards compatibility could be considered a virtue for a platform hosting so many different components. ;-)

Thnx, Guys! Sure it is not fault of Helix and Joomshaper!
