how can i use twitter-bootsrap in rails 2.3.5?

Question

I'm pretty new in Rails and I want to know whether twitter-bootstrap is available for rails 2.3.5 with ruby version 1.8.7. How can I use it if twitter-bootstrap is available in lower versions of rails.

Answer 1

You cannot use any of the gems, which were created for later version of rails, to nicely integrate twitter-bootstrap into the asset pipeline.

In rails 2.3.5 you have no asset-pipeline, so it is in a sense much easier:

• download a distributable version of bootstrap
• place the css in public/stylesheets
• place the js in public/javascript
• include them in your application.html.haml/erb

Done :)

Answer 2

twitter-bootstrap is a css library and hence has no relation to the version of ruby or rails that you use. So the answer is, yes, bootstrap should work fine with any version of rails.
