Hello all.

I've to update a Web2py app that uses Bootstrap 2.3.2.

Now the Web2py 2.27.1 uses Bootstrap 4?

Is it possible to use Bootstrap 5?

Thanks.

I do not know how much different 4 and 5 are. Only the names of the classes in the forms may be an issue. I would recommend you try it with BS 5 and if you run into any issue it may be possible to address it with a new adapter or, maybe easier, a few lines of JS.

I think BS5 will be fine - the classes and so forth should be the same as BS4 and I’ve not encountered any real issues with BS5 and py4web. https://superdevresources.com/bootstrap5-vs-bootstrap4-whats-new/
