What version of Twitter Bootstrap is Joomla 3.1.x using?

I am trying to determine which version(s) of Twitter Bootstrap Joomla 3.1.x uses.

Twitter Bootstrap 3 was "recently" released and has some different parameters than the 2.x version. GetBootstrap webpage

Specifically I need to know what version of the "default" joomla 3.1 template Prostar is using.

Or, can I just look at the bootstrap.css file -- would there be any clues as to what version of bootstrap it uses. I've looked at my copy and it is not commented so far as what version of bootstrap it uses.

Looking forward to any enlightenment here!

Let me prefix this answer with: This was based on the assumption the question was asking how to identify the version from the output CSS shown on the website. Which you can find here, which you will notice doesn't retain the version or license.

Unfortunately, joomla rip out the attribution from the CSS file referencing bootstrap so it would take quite a bit of investigating (seeing what changes had been made from 2.3.x to another version of 2.3.x) - however it is easy to be able to tell if its a 2.x.x branch or a 3.x.x branch.

Obvious way to check is just to look at the css, if it references items such as span1, span2 ,span* etc, it's part of the 2.x.x branch.

If however you see references to col-md-4, col-md-5, col-md-* then you can be sure it's of the 3.x.x branch.

As stated Joomla currently uses 2.3.2 but since there is no guarantee that this will not change in future upgrades you might consider unsetting the JUI version of Bootstrap and use your own local/static version. To stop the JUI version of Bootstrap loading use the unset command like this for each file...

unset($doc->_scripts[$this->baseurl.'/media/jui/css/bootstrap.css']);

Then load your own version of bootstrap - there's a few ways you can do it but this is my preferred method...

        $doc = JFactory::getDocument();
        $doc->addStyleSheet('templates/' . $this->template . '/css/bootstrap.css');

Again, you want to do this for each file that you wish to unset or include.

Joomla 3.1 is using Bootstrap 2.3.2

To check which version, simply open either the bootstrap.js or bootstrap.css files located in:

root/media/jui/

and it will display * Bootstrap v2.3.2

Hope this helps
