How do I install a custom theme for twitter-bootstrap with the rails asset pipeline?
Should I create a new folder under assets and dump in all of the css, js, image and font files for the theme?
Update: I put all files in my downloaded theme (except the html example files) into a folder in app/assets and added this folder to my asset paths in application.rb:
config.assets.paths << Rails.root.join("app", "assets", "bootstrap_theme")
I added some markup using css classes from the theme but it's not using the theme..
Update: I see that the boostrap theme has the compiled core bootstrap files included inside it. Should I take this to mean it's not intended to be used with Less? Also, should I precompile every asset file individually for production (in application.rb) and in each view include the specific ones needed (and include them after the core bootstrap files)? Then I guess to make any overrides to the theme they'd need to be made directly in the theme files?
Update: I think the problem was that I was requiring the theme css files in my manifest after the bootstrap_and_overrides, assuming the idea of the theme was to change the bootstrap defaults. But requiring some of the theme css before the standard bootstrap_and_defaults works better. It means needing to manually pick and choose which css to load before and after bootstrap.
