How to integrate a Wrap Bootstrap theme into an Rails application?

Question

I have bought a twitter bootstrap theme from wrapbootstrap. I already have a functional rails application. Now, I want to design my application by integrating the bootstrap

Answer 1

make sure that while installing twitter bootstrap you should add following gem into your Gemfile under "group :assets"

gem 'therubyracer'
gem 'less-rails'
gem 'twitter-bootstrap-rails'

then run bundle command.

Now, the theme "file_name.css" (file_name could be any) that u have downloaded just add it into "stylesheets" folder under app->assests->stylesheets

then open your application.css file in same folder there you will see

*= require_tree.

replace this line with

*= require "file_name.css"

NOTE: Don't forget to re-compile your assets or simply delete the content of your tmp/cache folder.

save it and reboot your server. it will apply your new theme.
