I have a preliminary port of the xSwatch4 theme to xSwatch5 for Xoops 2.5.11, based on Bootstrap/Bootswatch 5.1.1. It also adds a second menu option for a responsive, offcanvas sidebar menu in addition to the original navbar menu.

This is currently a private project on GitHub, and still needs some additional tweaks for items removed in Bootstrap 5.1.1.

Is there some place you would like me to put this so that it is visible within the Xoops community?

Hi,
Nice news !
you can show your own repository first. (Github URl).

I have my own repository but I need to continue my efforts.
We've just merged some new features in the core here.

Maybe Mamba could propose another solution, let's see what he says!

You will need to invite individual users by their GitHub user ID to your private repository.

See more info here, specifically the 2020 Update screenshot

@alain01: I merged the latest core changes into my fork and I am looking at the updates to xSwatch4.

Since my version of xSwatch5 is based on the most recent version of Bootstrap/Bootswatch, and there are features there I need, I plan to continue my implementation there. I don't want to step on any toes here, so would it be OK if I looked at how you are using the core changes and see about incorporating the way you implemented a few things?

I will share my private repo once I get the next pass complete.

I'm still slogging through the non-trivial changes to update the various templates to use Bootstrap 5 syntax for Forms. I decided to take a break and see what I could do with redirect notifications to eliminate the need for jQuery in my themes since Bootstrap 5 no longer depends on it.

I was a bit disappointed that I could not find a way to override a core event with my own code, but I have published an initial version of a module, XoopsGrowl, which can be used in a Bootstrap 4.x or 5.x theme (using trivial core hacks) to replace the old Xoops template based redirect notification with a JavaScript only implementation using Bootstrap Alerts.

This is my first submission, so feel free to say if there is something I should be doing differently. Also, feel free to incorporate this into the core at your discretion, or ask me to create a pull request making this a selectable option along with jGrowl in the System Preferences.

Hey,
you can change this jgrowl redirection, here:
