Unload BootStrap and jQuery

pedro1966 · Post by **pedro1966** » Sat Nov 17, 2012 3:13 pm

Hi all,
first at all I want to say that the Joomla 3.0 is really good ( at the backend).
But at the frontend I dont need this terrible Bootstrap with jQuery. And the other things is, that Mootools is loading at the frontend too.

OK, back to topic.
I want to unload the jQuery scripts. I have deleted the string:

Code: Select all

// Add JavaScript Frameworks
JHtml::_('bootstrap.framework');

But the frontend is always loading the jquery and bootstrap !!

How can I disable the Bootstrap loading?

I don't know how to fix your problem in an easy way, but I think I can at least point you in the right direction.

In /templates/protostar/index.php you will find this line:

Code: Select all

<jdoc:include type="head" />

It's used to load this file:

/Joomla/libraries/joomla/document/html/renderer/head.php

In it, if for example you delete this:

Code: Select all

		// Generate script file links
		foreach ($document->_scripts as $strSrc => $strAttr)
		{
			$buffer .= $tab . '<script src="' . $strSrc . '"';
			if (!is_null($strAttr['mime']))
			{
				$buffer .= ' type="' . $strAttr['mime'] . '"';
			}
			if ($strAttr['defer'])
			{
				$buffer .= ' defer="defer"';
			}
			if ($strAttr['async'])
			{
				$buffer .= ' async="async"';
			}
			$buffer .= '></script>' . $lnEnd;
		}

You won't have any of the scripts joomla usually loads. Of course, it would be better to have an override rather than modifying joomla's core files. I am not sure what's the best way to do that, but maybe this site will help you.

Anyway, I am sure someone will come across this topic and be able to help you better than I.

Good luck still.

Hi
You could try

Code: Select all

<?php unset($this->_scripts[JURI::root(true).'/media/jui/js/bootstrap.min.js']); ?>

in your index.php file.

If you site is still loading bootstrap then it sounds as though a module/plugin is loading it. Try turning them off in turn to see it it works.

Remember:
Extension-developers for Joomla! 3 expect that you use Bootstrap in your frontend. If you disable Bootstrap in your template some extensions will not work on your site.

Thank you ! That solved the very irritating problem with Joomla pagination doing strange things when hovered

Now my pagination works as expected.

Thank you again !

I am wondering how to do the opposite of this. I have a custom template and want to be able to use jQuery in my scripts file. I have added JHtml::_('jquery.framework');after $app = JFactory::getApplication(); above <head>. Not sure what else I need to do. Also when I do get it working do I have to use jQuery instead of $ to access the jquery object?

You can override jquery and/or bootstrap in your template. While not ideal, this solution worked for me: http://osdir.com/ml/joomla-development/ ... 00475.html

this answer is actually a livesaver for those who choose to work with more recent versions of bootstrap instead of the default 2.5 joomla loads. Disable default bootstrap using this trick and then load more recent bootstrap manually. No negative effects so far for me, but solved a lot of javascript issues like indicators not working etc...

At the most new templates, we have the option to enable/disable BootStrap, jquery etc...
