README

Thanks to @doemedia and @prdt3e for their support on compatibility to TYPO3 v13. <3

Predefined gridelements Bootstrap 5 content elements: column grids, grids for simple accordions, and tabs.

Installation

1. Install the extension via composer: composer require laxap/bootstrap-grids. If gridelements is not installed, it will be installed automatically since it's a requirement.
2. Include the static TypoScript templates. Both bootstrap_grids and gridelements templates are required (the order of templates is important).

NOTE: As of 2025-03-03, gridelements v12 doesn't support PHP 8.4, but we have an issue open they are responding to fix that. So, we will preemptively support PHP 8.4 in anticipation of that fix.

Usage

Use one of the predefined grids on your website.

NOTE: When using "Tabs From Content Elements" and "Accordion From Content", you need to set the header Type to Hidden. If you don't then the accordion/tab title will also display as a heading tag in the content area.

Updating to bootstrap_grids v5

The paths of TypoScript files have changed. Please ensure you reselect the template in your sys_template record.

Contribution

We would love your help! We have Docker set up with helper scripts to make contributions easy.

Development setup

1. Install Docker.
2. Fork the boostrap_grids repository.
3. Clone the forked repository (e.g. git clone https://github.com/your_username/bootstrap_grids.git), change into the directory, then checkout a branch or create desired branch.
4. OPTIONAL: Do cp -i .docker/.env.dist .docker/.env before the next step if you need anything other than default versions of TYPO3/PHP. Otherwise .docker/.env.dist will automatically be copied to .docker/.env if it doesn't already exist and you can skip this step.
5. OPTIONAL: Start Xdebug if you need to debug PHP code.
6. Run .docker/bin/start && .docker/bin/composer install
7. Login to http://localhost:8080/typo3 with username admin and password Pass123!.

NOTE: The .docker/templates/[typo3-version-specified-in-.env] directory is copied to the project root during .docker/bin/start, so from that point on you'll need to edit files in their new location to see live changes. When you're done with the install, you can delete the container and those copied files by doing .docker/bin/clean or by doing it manually.
