  • .css remove and replace stylesheet files
  • .js + .css remove and replace both javascript and stylesheet files
Load theme B 3 Loads the optional bootstrap-theme stylesheet associated with Bootstrap 3
CSS packages B 4 Optional CSS packages that will be loaded on the page. bootstrap-grid.css and/or bootstrap-reboot.css replace the general Bootstrap CSS file. The general Bootstrap CSS file includes all grid and reboot code

Additional modifications (dependent)

The following settings are dependent from the Add/Fix Bootstrap option

Ignore scripts Makes sure the scripts listed remain on the page and are not stripped out by the plugin (some file names are built in such a way they can be mistaken for a Bootstrap library). One script per line.

Example /js/wanted_script.bootstrap.js

Additional modifications (independent)

The following settings are independent from the Add/Fix Bootstrap option

Load before UI Forces the Bootstrap library to load before the jQuery UI library (when both are present).
Warning This will have no effect if jQuery UI is not selected in the jQuery tab.
Buttons
Button fix
  • Bootstrap move the Bootstrap namespace which is now referenced by the replacement function
  • jQuery UI move the jQuery UI namespace which is now referenced by the replacement function
Replacement function The function that can be used instead of button by Bootstrap when choosing the Boostrap fix or by jQuery UI when choosing the jQuery UI fix
Tooltips
Disable tooltips Removes the tooltip script declaration added by Joomla (containing .hasTooltip).
v4+ The option Yes, by overload overloads the core Joomla calls for tooltips by returning nothing whenever tooltips are called site wide. It prevents lookups by regular expressions, making the process faster
Tooltip fix
  • Bootstrap move the Bootstrap namespace which is now referenced by the replacement function
  • jQuery UI move the jQuery UI namespace which is now referenced by the replacement function
Note The Bootstrap v2 code for namespace renaming of tooltips is broken and will generate javascript errors
Replacement function The function that can be used instead of tooltip by Bootstrap when choosing the Boostrap fix or by jQuery UI when choosing the jQuery UI fix
Replace function Will replace the function name tooltip with the tooltip replacement function in the script declaration containing .hasTooltip
