Yii2 comes with a charming twitter bootstrap version 3. But if it is less, then you can integrate with web templates that you like. One example is wonderfull template "adminLTE"

Are you using the Bootstrap 3 form styles with Yii 2 Active Forms? Have you faced problems in displaying complex layouts which needs you to display multiple inline form fields in a single row, within bootstrap horizontal forms. Then read on.

It is quite simple, but I am sure this small tutorial will help more than one of you out there :)

This wiki will explain how you can use the Field range extension with multiple Bootstrap form layouts (vertical or horizontal).
