Utilize both versions of Bootstrap seamlessly without causing any disruptions or issues

With a unique situation at hand, I find myself needing to display two different versions of Bootstrap on the same page. My Umbraco CMS relies on Bootstrap version 2.x by default, while my frontend pages utilize Bootstrap 4. However, certain Bootstrap 4 widgets like cards and carousels are essential for viewing results in the Umbraco dashboard. The issue arises when rendering the Bootstrap 4 CSS file in Umbraco, as it successfully displays the widgets but also alters the dashboard functionality.

I am seeking a solution to render Bootstrap 4 without disrupting the existing Bootstrap 2 framework that Umbraco relies on. One idea is to customize Bootstrap 4, including class names, but I'm uncertain if this is feasible. Are there any online tools or services available for such customization?

Any assistance with this predicament would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT 1

Let me provide visuals to illustrate my point:

When creating a custom grid layout field and incorporating Bootstrap 4, it overrides the default Umbraco Bootstrap, resulting in the altered appearance shown by the blue labels in the tree view.

To properly display the added widgets in the grid layout, Bootstrap 4 must be rendered, as depicted below:

Answer №1

Umbraco, a content management system (CMS), is unique in that it is not tied to any specific frontend framework. This means you have the flexibility to use any frontend framework of your choice. When you first install Umbraco without a starter kit, you essentially start with a clean slate.

Are you currently working on an existing website or using a starter kit that relies on Bootstrap version 2? If so, transitioning from version 2 to version 4 should be relatively straightforward.

Updated response:

I now understand that you are referring to the grid layout system.

For the frontend: It seems like you are utilizing @Html.GetGridHtml("content") at the moment. You can integrate your own grid system here. While Umbraco supports bootstrap 2 and 3 out of the box, you can also incorporate bootstrap 4 independently. If you navigate to the following directory: Views/Partials/Grid/, you'll find files for bootstrap2.cshtml and bootstrap3.cshtml. You can create a bootstrap4.cshtml file (based on bootstrap3.cshtml with modifications) and update the GetGridHtml call to 

@Html.GetGridHtml("content", "bootstrap4")

For the backend: Exercise caution when including the entire bootstrap stylesheet as it may cause changes or disruptions in the Umbraco backend. When styling grid components in Umbraco, aim to provide content editors with a basic preview of how it will appear on the frontend rather than replicating the full user experience. In this scenario, consider creating a separate minimal stylesheet specifically for buttons used in the grid editor.
