Bootstrap version
« on: April 21, 2026, 01:12:47 PM »
hi,

I recently switched to another webhoster, and at that moment also started using another tool to build my own websites. I found WB through Softaculous software in DirectAdmin.
In the meantime, I have built a few websites, and adapted an existing template to my own taste, regarding layout and functionality.

A question out of curiosity (it killed the cat... :-D):  is there a special reason why Bootstrap 3 is still used in WB and add-ons instead of Bootstrap 5?

Nein, es gibt keinen besonderen Grund außer vielleicht, das sich noch niemand mit dieser Thematik beschäftigt hat. Ich selbst nutze kein Bootstrap, hab es noch nie und wüßte nicht mal, wo ich das in WB suchen sollte. Im Backend würde ich es nicht suchen. Und im Frontend ist jeder frei, andere Techniken zu verwenden als die, die das Beispiel-Template DefaultTemplate zeigt. Gleiches gilt auch für 3th-Party-Addons. Auch da gibt es keine Vorgaben

thanks, that's clear

As an application specialist, I like to work with a decent backend. That's why we are currently modifying and updating the add-on Bootstrap WYSIWYG columns (I use that add-on on several websites already). More to follow  :lol:

Meine private Meinung: WB hat sich vor gut 10 Jahren auf W3CSS festgelegt, von daher wundert es mich, das Bootstrap da auch noch mit läuft. Ich meine, wer es benötigt in Modulen oder Templates, soll es halt mitliefern, ob in Modulen oder Templates. Es sollte nicht Aufgabe von WB sein, alles Mögliche bereitzustellen.

My personal opinion: WB committed to W3CSS a good 10 years ago, so I’m surprised that Bootstrap is still included. I mean, if anyone needs it in modules or templates, they should just include it themselves, whether in modules or templates. It shouldn’t be WB’s job to provide every possible option.

In 100-150 kb difference, I think bootstrap Is still better, it has its komponents like minus, dropdowns, nosača, cards, tooltips , ja included for this, Dark mode, so i dont have to waste time when i need something bootstrap already have, so it Is my first choice for both backend and frontend.
