how to use bootstrap3 theme with Yiistrap extension in Yii framework (bootstrap version 2)

i am using an admin theme in my backend which uses Bootstrap 3.0 css (used as main layout). while i have the yiistrap extension installed which uses bootstrap 2 css files(for my grids and other widgets), now if i use both at the same time, every thing breaks (usually theme), it is obviously because both versions are used, and one overrides the css of another.

i need to know if there is a way where i can differentiate both css, or render one after another is some way? or would i have to make my own template/theme using yiistrap files?

let me give you an example, i have theme layout in my main.php (layout), all theme files added on this file, next, i render my user/admin view, which contains a GridView of Yiistrap, now as you can see my problem, both CSS files are needed to render everything correctly, Hance lies my problem. i want to add both files at the same time, but not to conflict with each other. Does YII provide a solution for this? becuase this can Happen to any theme i use, not only bootstrap.

Yiistrap has a method called register which will load all CSS and JS files into the rendered html. As far as I know this has to be manually triggered at some point in your application life cycle and is usually done with Yii::app()->bootstrap->register(). You should be fine if you remove that call and replace it with your call to the Bootstrap 3 loader instead.

Edit

Let me clarify my answer a little. Right now I assume that you are calling Yii::app()->bootstrap->register() somewhere in your application as well including Bootstrap 3 files. This, as you noticed, results in a conflict. Yii::app()->bootstrap->register() will only include CSS and JS files directly necessary for Yiistrap. So either removing this call completely or conditionally replacing it with your Bootstrap 3 includes should solve the issue.

You can rename the assets folder of bootstrap and also define path as new folder name in admin and place the admin theme correct. i.e.

theme/[your_theme_name]/views/layouts [here you should place main theme files and write yiistrap code in head tag for bootstrap's assets files]

theme/[your_theme_name]/views/admin [here you should place admin theme files]

If you place files correctly as well as assign the path of assets files correct in the <head></head> section of main theme file, I believe you would not fall in any trouble.
