Bootstrap in joomla 2.5 extensions

[mataal]

If an extension is using bootstrap in joomla 2.5, the latest gantry breaks with:

JHtml: :bootstrap not supported. File not found.

Notice: Undefined variable: gantry in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/j25/templates/rt_graffito/error.php on line 19

Fatal error: Call to a member function init() on a non-object in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/j25/templates/rt_graffito/error.php on line 19

Edit the Gantry file: 
/plugins/system/gantry/gantry.php in line 162, where you will find:

if ($this->_contains($buffer, $this->bootstrapTriggers)) {
	JHtml::_('bootstrap.framework');
}

Change it to:

if ($this->_contains($buffer, $this->bootstrapTriggers)) {
	$jversion = new JVersion;
	$current_version = $jversion->getShortVersion();
	if (version_compare($current_version, '3.0.0') >= 0)
	{
		JHtml::_('bootstrap.framework');
	}
}

Thank you so much for posting this solution! I just upgrade to Gantry 4.1.3 and my site crashed... I found the solution below (editing gantry/gantry.php) and my site's back :)

Join us, have the same problem

What version of Joomla are you guys running when this error occurs??

[Sami Haaranen]

We get this error too in J! 2.5.8...

My ver 4.1.3 of gantry.php from rockettheme does not have the lines you described.  Instead, I have the following at line 268:

            if (empty($buffer) && !count($messages)) return;

            // wether to load bootstrap jui or not
            if ($this->_contains($buffer, $this->bootstrapTriggers) || count($messages)) {
                JHtml::_('bootstrap.framework');
            }

I am running Joomla 2.5.7.  Does anyone know how I should modify this?

[Sami Haaranen]

I have those kind lines too

[Momchil Petrushkov]

Guys! Just fixed it! All you need to do is to downgrade from here: http://code.google.com/p/gantry-framework/downloads/list?can=1&q=platform%3Djoomla25&colspec=Filename+Summary+Uploaded+Size+DownloadCount+Type+Platform 

Just install the zip file like a normal module and it will do the magic! 

I hope this helps! 

Cheers

I changed line 268-271 to this and it solved the problem:

            // wether to load bootstrap jui or not
            if ($this->_contains($buffer, $this->bootstrapTriggers) || count($messages)) {

                $jversion = new JVersion;
                $current_version = $jversion->getShortVersion();
                if (version_compare($current_version, '3.0.0') >= 0)
                {
                    JHtml::_('bootstrap.framework');
                }
            }

This is specifically related to extensions in 2.5 that are using bootstrap on their own. Fix for now is to either use the fix provided by Mataal or to downgrade to the previous version that was working for you:

Just download and install the appropriate framework zip file via the Joomla installer. We'll be looking at this tomorrow as the office is closed today due to Thanksgiving holiday.
