How to use Bootstrap or Spectre in my theme

Support Themes & Styling

Hi, I am new at Grav CMS. I installed it successfully with Portainer.

I have few questions.

Can I use bootstrap or spectre.css to use for theming? I need cards like in Material Design. How to use/build them in Grav?

Where to get good tutorials?

@wmcig,

Can I use bootstrap or spectre.css to use for theming?

Yes, that is possible.

How to use/build them in Grav?

Grav does not provide documentation explaining the integration/use of any CSS Framework. Grav does provide a documentation section on themes, but it only covers Grav’s side of it.

Documentation about a specific CSS Framework can be found on their own websites.

You might take as a starting point an existing theme which is based on a framework of your choice. You might search for one at Themes | Grav CMS.

Could you please tell me, how to implement the css-cards-elements to use in Grav CMS? Do I have to make a plugin or whatever?

Please give me a hint.

@wmcig, No, I can’t… :frowning:

  • I know what cards are but I have not idea what “css-cards-elements” are…
  • I have no idea what your plans and requirements are.
  • Based on your questions and wordings, I’m afraid Discourse is probably not the right place for it.

I would suggest to start with a theme that uses Bootstrap or Spectre. Then, if you have sufficient knowledge of HTML, CSS and Twig, you should be able to add cards to the templates.

Thank you for your help.

I wanna try a skeleton package to learn with it.
