Is it good idea to use BootFaces & PrimeFAces together? - jsf-2

Can I use BootFaces and PrimeFaces together?
All I want is bootstrap UI with PrimeFaces Functionality.
How tuff is it to use bootstrap CSS with PrimeFaces components?

I was able to add BootFaces to my Primefaces project with about 5 different pages/templates and make it responsive in about 16 hours.
You will need to disable the primefaces theme and manualy import the latest bootstrap or switch to the Primefaces Bootstrap Theme and use the build in (old) Bootstrap version.
BootsFaces supports Primefaces and the BootsFaces page is using PrimeFaces.
I had no problems using components from both framworks together.

jQuery UI theme for Zurb Foundation?

I have an excellent jquery-ui based application that I'd like to give the fresh looks of Foundation. Most important part I'm missing is the support properly styled dialogs which currently have the jquery looks.
Is there anything like a foundation-styled jQuery UI theme or project setup to develop one?
My company has used http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/ to create the themes for our clients.
We had a client request a theme that matched the foundation default styling so we created it and uploaded it to out github. Below you can download the style sheets.

jQuery Mobile Default Swatches

Let me start off by saying I'm new to jQuery mobile. I've been asked to change to theme of a website and from looking at the jQuery mobile website here there is 5 default swatches that come with it. The only problem is that when I look at the theme file it only has 2 swatches, labeled A and B, but which look more like A and C. Can someone tell me where I can find the additional default swatches?
Thanks for your help.
The guys from jQuery mobile also created the classic theme for 1.4 although they don't actually support it.
You can find it here: http://demos.jquerymobile.com/1.4.0/theme-classic/theme-classic.css
And view the demo here: http://demos.jquerymobile.com/1.4.0/theme-classic/
jQuery Mobile 1.4 has two themes "a" and "b", unlike previous versions.
To upgrade custom themes previously created by ThemeRoller, at the page's top, click on import to upload old themes and then choose 1.4.0 from drop-down Upgrade to version list.

Use custom CSS template in combination with Primefaces

I have a project which is developed by Primefaces 2.2 and JSF 2.1.
Since I am not satisfied with Primefaces' template neither ThemeRoller that they provide, I found very interesting themes on
http://themeforest.net
and I want to integrate one of those in my project.
Is it possible to integrate Primefaces with templates from Themeforest? Are there any traps that I need to consider?
Primefaces themes are powered by theme rollers, (separate css for structure and skinning). the only way of implementing themes is by using Primefaces's template or ThemeRoller. Or else you can try dynamic themes by defining EL expression as a param value
<context-param>
<param-name>primefaces.THEME</param-name>
<param-value>#{themeSwitcherBean.theme}</param-value>
</context-param>
as mentioned in primefaces document here http://www.primefaces.org/documentation.html
Yes, of course, but it's not a template. It's a theme. You can do that easily with facalet.
I never use the template / skinning provided by Primefaces, but sometimes integrate it in the project because there are some very useful components. Of course you can use a custom template like those you saw on Themeforest. All you have to do is create XHMTL instead of HTML files and correct some syntax (for example input tags need a closing tag in XHTML). The problem is you can't completely disable the styling of components like the p:inputText, you have to use h:inputText and then apply the classes provided by your template in the styleClass attribute.

Can I use Twitter Bootstrap and jQuery UI at the same time?

I am using Twitter Bootstrap and I want to use an "auto-suggest" which is not available in Bootstrap, whereas jQuery UI has its own methods for auto-suggest.
Can I use both? Will it overload the bandwidth?
Check out jquery-ui-bootstrap. From the README:
Twitter's Bootstrap was one of my favorite projects to come out of
2011, but having used it regularly it left me wanting two things:
The ability to work side-by-side with jQuery UI (something which
caused a number of widgets to break visually) The ability to theme
jQuery UI widgets using Bootstrap styles. Whilst I love jQuery UI, I
(like others) find some of the current themes to look a little dated.
My hope is that this theme provides a decent alternative for others
that feel the same. To clarify, this project doesn't aim or intend to
replace Twitter Bootstrap. It merely provides a jQuery UI-compatible
theme inspired by Bootstrap's design. It also provides a version of
Bootstrap CSS with a few (minor) sections commented out which enable
the theme to work along-side it.
just to update this, bootstrap v2 no longer conflicts with jquery ui
https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/171
Edit: as #Freshblood there are a few things that still conflict. However, as originally posted Twitter suggests that they are working on this and it largely works, specially compared to v1.
For future reference (since this is google's top answer ATM), to prevent jQuery UI from overriding bootstrap's or your custom style, you need to create a custom download and select the no-theme theme. That will only include jQuery UI's resets, and not overload bootstrap's style for various elements.
While we're at it, some jQuery UI components (such as datepicker) have a native bootstrap implementation. The native bootstrap implementations will use the bootstrap css classes, attributes and layouts, so should have a better integration with the rest of the framework.
In my limited experience I am coming across issues as well. It appears that JQuery elements (such as buttons) can be styled using bootstrap CSS. However, I am experiencing issues having created a JQuery UI tab and wanting to lock a bootstrap only input (using the input-append class) to the bottom of each tab, only the first sits correctly. So, JQuery tabs + Bootstrap buttons = probably not.
Bootstrap still doesnt work with Jquery UI, for example the modal.Bootstrap has nice style but as a framework with Twitter behind isnt that good.
If you're running into javascript namespace collisions, you can use Bootstrap's noConflict() function make it cede functionality to jQuery UI.
Although this question specifically mentions jQuery-UI autosuggest feature, the question title is more general: does bootstrap 3 work with jQuery UI? I was having trouble with the jQUI datepicker (pop-up calendar) feature. I solved the datepicker problem and hope the solution will help with other jQUI/BS issues.
I had a difficult time today getting the latest jQueryUI (ver 1.12.1) datepicker to work with bootstrap 3.3.7. What was happening is that the calendar would display but it would not close.
Turned out to be a version problem with jQUI and BS. I was using the latest version of Bootstrap, and found that I had to downgrade to these versions of jQUI and jQuery:
jQueryUI - 1.9.2 (tested - works)
jQuery - 1.9.1 or 2.1.4 (tested - both work. Other vers may work, but these work.)
Bootstrap 3.3.7 (tested - works)
Because I wanted to use a custom theme, I also built a custom download of jQUI (removed a few things like all the interactions, dialog, progressbar and a few effects I don't use) -- and made sure to select "Cupertino" at the bottom as my theme.
I installed them thus:
<head>
...etc...
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/font-awesome.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/cupertino/jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap-3.3.7.min.css">
<!-- <script src="js/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script> -->
<script src="js/jquery-2.1.4.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/bootstrap-3.3.7.min.js"></script>
...etc...
</head>
For those interested, the CSS folder looks like this:
[css]
- bootstrap-3.3.7.min.css
- font-awesome.min.css
- style.css
- [cupertino]
- jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom.min.css

- etc (8 more files that were in the downloaded jQUI zip file)
If don't store it locally and use the link that they provide you might have an improved performance.The client might have the scripts already cached in some cases. As for the case of jQueryUI i would recommend not loading it until necessary.
They are both minimized, but you can fire up the console and look at the network tab and see how long it takes for it to load, once it is initially downloaded it will be cached so you shouldn't worry afterwards.My conclusion would be yes use them both but use a CDN
Yes you can use both. js bootstrap from twitter is a collection of jquery plugins. There shohuldn't be any conflict with jQuery UI.
Regarding bandwidth overload, it really depends on how you handle the requests to load all of your js files. if you really dont want to make multiple requests to the server to request for each file, just append them together and minimize. Or you probably can get rid of some js bootstrap plugins you dont need. it is very modular.
Kendo UI has a nice bootstrap theme here and a set of web UI comparable to jquery-UI.
They also have an open source version that works nicely with the theme.
I have site developed using jquery ui, I just tried to plug in bootstrap for future development and styling but it breaks virtually everything.
So No they are not compatible.
Because this is the top result on google on jquery ui and bootstrap.js I decided to add this as community wiki.
I am using:
Bootstrap v3.2.0
jquery-2.1.0
jquery-ui-1.10.3
and somehow when I include bootstrap.js it disables the dropdown of the jquery ui autocomplete.
my three workarounds:
exclude bootstrap.js
or more to typeahead lib
move from bootstrap.js to bootstrap.min.js (strange, but worked for me)
The data-role="none" is the key to make them work together. You can apply to the elements you want bootstrap to touch but jquery mobile to ignore.
like this
input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search" data-role="none"
