Gridmanager bootstrap editor integration into Joomla. The editor is based on the work and efforts of Tom King (https://github.com/neokoenig/) and pbreah (https://github.com/pbreah/). This editor is a Joomla plugin compatible with Joomla 3.0 upwards.
If you like to test it download the latest version from here:
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/edition/editors/28076
If you do not use a Bootstrap 3 Template on the Frontend, make sure to enable the content plugin after install. This includes the bootstrap css and js on the frontend.
##The editor supports
- Bootstrap 3 Grid (md-col-* classes) (Bootstrap 2 Grid needs some extra effort because of layout issues)
- Bootstrap Offsets (md-col-offset-* classes)
- TinyMCE integration (if TinyMCE is not enabled a default textarea fallback is used)
- the editor integrates Joomla editor-xtd buttons (image, article etc.)
- the editor integrates Bootstrap 3 button classes in tinymce
- the editor integrates Widgetkit shortcodes for available slideshows, galleries, accordions, maps or slidesets
- ID's and classes for each row and columns
- Sortable rows and columns
- Joomla 3, (Joomla 2.5 needs some extra efforts on TinyMCE integration)
