Hi
Any plan for bootstrap 4 support?

Hi,
well it looks like there have been others updating to BS2. you can read their progress and difficulties here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/mezzanine-users/bootstrap$204%7Csort:date/mezzanine-users/qgE6EZOJGcs/RwvSu_NEVW0J or look at this merge #777

you can see that you can use whatever you want for your frontend but there are some issues with upgrading in the admin.

The links only cover BS2 and BS3.
I tried to use BS4 by simply changing the base.html template. I encountered problems with the header menu in the frontend.
Did anyone ever try to implement BS4 successfully? Or does anyone have a list of issues to be solved when loading BS4 instead of BS3?

Hello! No work has been performed to migrate from Bootstrap 3 to 4. The upgrade is not straightforward, but the official docs provide a migration guide: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/migration/#summary A PR implementing that on Mezzanine would be a welcome addition 😊

Thx for the quick reply. Unfortunately I am building a Cartridge system at the moment, so I could not add my work to a Mezzanine PR without difficulties. Also I am not that deep into Mezzanine at the moment as I just started to play around with it.

I will give it a try byediting the base.html and the dropdown.html templates where I will add BS4, remove BS3 and test some header-nav implementatios. The backend seems to work fine using BS4 on a quick test.
Any tips would be appreciated.
