Introduction

It all started with the amazing extension of Chris to allow Yii programmers to include the beauty of Bootstrap into our Yii applications.

I was in charge to create a Yii project startup for Clevertech and I thought that Yii-Bootstrap should be standard for it, and that was the reason it was included in YiiBoilerplate. It was an excellent decision.

Then, CEO Kuty Shalev, told me to provide solutions for the common challenges that Yii developers confront in our projects at Clevertech, we wanted to do things fast. That was the reason I started to create a widget library that, with the support and help of colleague programmers, was growing and growing everyday.

The goal was to maintain the beauty of Twitter Bootstrap, so the widgets were built on top of the development version of Chris' Yii-Bootstrap extension. The results were highly acceptable, and we agree to share this with the community so to help and improve it for the benefit of everybody.

I truly hope it helps you build beautiful applications and to easy some of the challenges you face. Would be great to have your support to improve, as by helping the community, you will help Yii, and that will always be good for all us.

Important

Even though the library was built on top of Yii-Bootstrap and we have kept the configuration of YiiBooster and the naming conventions in honor of Chris, it is not compatible with it. We have made lots of changes plus many enhancements.

This is also true for the JQuery plugins within. We had to modify them to work with the widgets and provide the expected functionality.

Performance Issues

If you think that YiiBooster is running your application slow, is due that the Bootstrap.php Component placed on the components folder registers its assets per request for debugging purposes. You can easily turn off this behavior by removing the YII_DEBUG variable from the getAssetsUrl function.

This issue will be solved in version 1.0.6. where that behavior will be configurable.
