welcome.w2p based on twitter bootstrap

[Bruno Rocha]

Place this welcome.w2p on the root of your web2py or simply uploads as new application in admin.

This is welcome app based on twitter bootstrap css & JS.

Needs some improvements and better examples on the sidebar.

I propose we release web2py 2.0 asap where this is the main change (and perhaps we replace appadmin with instantadmin++smartgrid) so the screenshots in the new version of the book refer to 2.0.

I see you use lots of bootstrap.*.js are they needed or is the css sufficient?

The grid does not show icons. Is that because of bootstrap or because of jquery-ui?

I would take a patch to use bootstrap.css and replace superfish with something else but the goal should be reduce the total number of files in welcome. It should not link external files. Everything should be in the box.

This looks pretty nice. Wouldn't Bootstrap's menus be able to replace Superfish?

[Massimo Di Pierro]

yes and I think they should.

This is great. Thanks, Bruno. I really like the idea of including the examples of web2py functionality (linked in sidebar).

I know media queries and responsive design are on the Bootstrap roadmap (https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/wiki/Roadmap), but while we're waiting, I wonder if we should consider incorporating a responsive grid system to make the welcome app more mobile friendly. It would be great if welcome worked nicely on mobile out of the box. Some examples:

http://www.getskeleton.com/

http://semantic.gs/

http://cssgrid.net/

http://goldengridsystem.com/

We might also consider offering a separate mobile-only welcome app based on jQuery Mobile.

With all the examples/demos included in this new welcome app, it might be a good idea to place a prominent link to it on web2py.com as a way of both showing the welcome app and demonstrating some of web2py's functionality. We currently have a link to the admin demo, but I don't think there is one to the welcome app.

I like them too but shouldn't they go in examples? I am happy to add more examples to the examples. app. patch?

Anthony has a point. We should target mobiles.

[Massimo Di Pierro]

We should move the examples in examples and link them form the main page.

Could also use a components example, and probably some of the other new functionality as well.

I see your point. I guess what I like is seeing the examples in the welcome app interface. What do folks think about basing the 'examples' app on the 'welcome' app rather than the web2py.com app? That might be a more natural way of showing the functionality and would allow use of the main site navigation for the examples. If we still want to distribute the web2py.com app, I suppose we would have to name it something else (which make sense, as most of the site is not actually examples). Just a thought.

This was discussed some time ago and the problem is people get confused on which is which. It is important that admin, examples and welcome use different layouts.

The fact that examples belong to examples does not mean they cannot be linked by welcome.
