Topic: Configure Bootstrap style vs Material style

Mark Boyce free asked 3 years ago


I designed my website using MDB Free version and the styles it used were Bootstrap design. This fit the layout and spacing and styling as I wanted it.

However, I upgraded to the Pro version because I needed a few components that was only available in Pro edition. Once I purchased it, I went through the upgrade steps mentioned in the link below. https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/angular/getting-started/update/

When I did that, I noticed that my theme and layout has changed in many places. The behavior and styles of dropdown, buttons etc are all different. Initially I thought I did something wrong. But after a lot of investigation, I realized the problem is that the theme for Pro version uses Material style than the Bootstrap style in Free version.

The style I see is the one below. https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/angular/components/dropdowns/

Comparing "Default dropdown" and "Material dropdown", it is the difference I'm noticing. Default Dropdown style is the bootstrap one which I saw in Free version. Now I'm seeing the Material Dropdown style after upgrading to Pro version.

Is there anyway I can configure the dropdown to apply Bootstrap style? I don't want to custom style all the components just to enforce bootstrap theme. That will be a tedious process. Is there an option in the config of the components where I can set which theme it should use?


Arkadiusz Idzikowski staff commented 3 years ago

It is not possible to switch between non-material and material styles, but in this case standard dropdown should have slightly different styles than material dropdown even if you use pro version.

Can you edit your post and add the code you used to render the dropdown and provide more information about problems in other components?


Mark Boyce free commented 3 years ago

Please see my post below. I have provided code and screenshots explaining the difference I'm seeing.

            <li class="nav-item dropdown" dropdown routerLinkActive="active" [routerLinkActiveOptions]="{exact:false}" [isOpen]="toggleRecalls" (mouseenter)="toggleDropdown('recalls', true)" (mouseleave)="toggleDropdown('recalls', false)" (isOpenChange)="toggleDropdown('recalls', $event)">
                <a id="navbarRecallsMenu" role="button" dropdownToggle class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="javascript:void(0);" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">Recalls</a>
                <div *dropdownMenu class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" aria-labelledby="navbarRecallsMenu">
                    <a class="dropdown-item" routerLink="/news">Recalls, News</a>
                    <a class="dropdown-item" routerLink="/gallery">Technical Gallery</a>
                </div>
            </li>

This is the exact code I'm using. I haven't changed it between the free and pro version.

This is the output I have on the free version.

Free version

And this is the output I have on the pro version.

Pro version

You can see the difference on the hover effects. Additionally, the width is changed in some dropdowns.

When I looked at the html content of the page, I noticed that the style being injected for dropdown are considerably different. See the code I found in both versions.

Free version:

<style>.dropdown-menu .dropdown-item:active{background-color:#757575}.show>.dropdown-menu{display:block}.show>a{outline:0}.dropdown-menu{margin-top:5px}.various-dropdown{transform:translate3d(0,21px,0)!important}.a-various-dropdown{transform:translate3d(0,29px,0)!important}.medium-dropdown{transform:translate3d(0,36px,0)!important}.small-dropdown{transform:translate3d(5px,34px,0)!important}.large-dropdown{transform:translate3d(5px,57px,0)!important}.btn-group>.dropdown-menu{transform:translate3d(0,43px,0)}.dropup>.dropdown-menu{display:none;transform:translate3d(117px,0,0)!important;will-change:transform}.dropup.show .dropdown-menu{display:block;opacity:0}.dropup.show .fadeInDropdown{opacity:1}.dropup-material.show .dropdown-menu{transition:.55s}.dropdown-menu{display:none;left:0;position:absolute;top:0;transform:translate3d(6px,49px,0);will-change:transform}.dropdown.show .dropdown-menu{display:block;opacity:0;transition:.55s}.dropdown.show .fadeInDropdown{opacity:1}</style>

The additional styles seem to enforce changes on the dropdown items that is conflicting with the custom styles I had previously applied. Ex: padding.

Is it possible to set non-material style throughout on pro version? Revert back to bootstrap style? Ideally using a flag to indicate material or non-material is the best solution. But if that option is not available, I'd rather use bootstrap style for now.


Arkadiusz Idzikowski staff commented 3 years ago

@Mark Boyce We will take a closer look at that and check if we can somehow disable this behavior, but I'm afraid it won't be possible because in the pro version we load additional styles that modify the same bootstrap classes.

Please try to use the syntax of the default bootstrap version, replace nav-item dropdown classes with nav-item btn-group on the li element.


Mark Boyce free commented 3 years ago

Thank you. Switching from dropdown to btn-group fixed the issue on this matter.

But ideally, if we can switch styles somehow, it would be easier. Otherwise to use some of the material designs, it would override all the components.
