    in themes/bootstrap/design/style.css add this:

    section.container {
    width: 100%;
    }
    

    Is that what you want to achieve?

    Sadly, it didn't work. thanks anyway

  • You'll also have to modify the default.master.tpl in the theme's "views" folder. What I did was make it so it's full width within discussions (hiding that sidebar), but split (like it is by default) for all of the other pages so you still see the sidebar. This is what I have in mine right under the

    <div class="row">
    

    line:

    {if $BodyID !='vanilla_discussion_index' && $BodyID !='vanilla_post_discussion'}
        <aside class="page-sidebar" role="complementary">
          {asset name="Panel"}
        </aside>
    {/if}
    
    {if $BodyID =='vanilla_discussion_index'}
        <main class="page-content" role="main" style="width: 100%;">
    {else}
        <main class="page-content" role="main">
    {/if}
    

    Lines 2, 3, 4, 8, and 10 were already there; I just added the Smarty logic. You may need to make some other changes (I forget what other ones I made, if any) but that should get you most of the way there.

    Scratch that, line 8 wasn't there, I added that one as well.

    You should not use a minifier... specially when editing. You have Consolidate plugin ... it may not be as bad as Minify but you should not run it when editing a theme....

    Thanks a lot both of you. Anyway to keep the sidebar in discussion?

    Bootstrap has out-of-the-box support for fluid grids; simply replace all instances of container with container-fluid in default.master.tpl.

    I don't really think this should be in a new topic ( but if it does, let me know ).
    I manage to change the sidebar to a fix width like 300px or so and want the content to fit to any available space left.
    I've tried changing the content width percentage like 75% or auto but still not working, anyone ?

  • It's looking like this

    Any way tomove the content to the left, close to the panel like normal ?

  • What would be the css needed for this ? I tried float left but it switch their position.

    Most grids use floats and margins to create a grid system.

    You probably need to adjust the margin on the content container to be fixed width.

    Can you be more specific at which code I need to play around with ?

    That was more general advice. Bootstrap is a pretty popular CSS framework. There is a good tag over on stackoverflow where you can get advice on what to do: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/twitter-bootstrap-3
