I recently migrated a website to Joomla, the old website used bootstrap and was responsive.
However, when I used the same template on the new website powered by Joomla it isn't responsive at all.
I thought it would be responsive by nature, is there any additional configuration to make to get it responsive ?
Note: I am not a web designer, so simple explanations would be great.
Basically Joomla works out of the box with some old style templates. Although bootstrap is already into the joomla libraries it doesn't mean that it is used.
Fortunately there are many free templates with their own framework that use bootstrap to have a ready to use responsive website.
I feel to suggest the helix framework http://www.joomshaper.com/helix , it is also very easy to use and customise.
Or the new gantry5 http://gantry.org/ but it doesn't use bootstrap
I would suggest to use Gantry 5 framework. It is free, light and easy to use if you are not a developer.
It does support Bootstrap but they are using there own responsive framework.

I'am using Reactjs for the first time and I want to make my website responsive .
So, Is there a library helps me to get a responsive design ?
thank you.
So this isn't something that React will do for you as building a responsive site is something more along the css that you decide to use.
What I would recommend you adding to your react project is another project like bootstrap which will give you the power to create a responsive website. It also has a lot of other basics that you can use in your project to build upon. Specifically for the responsive overview you will want to check out this link => https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/layout/overview/
I'm thinking which frameworks should I use to port an existent application UI to a mobile friendly one.
I've seen Ionic and I was pretty happy with its UI and components until I noticed it requires Angular.js for its functionality.
My project is developed in Knockout.js over Node.js and I'm not planning to start using Angular at this point.
jQuery Mobile seems like another alternative to it but it seems its development its not as active and its community is not as big or as active.
Plus the UI is not native for each OS and it looks as good in big screens.
I've seen other alternatives (Onsen UI, Intel XDK, Sencha Touch, Kendo UI, Framework 7...) but none of them seem to be as popular and as active as Ionic and some of them still need Angular.js.
Isn't there any out of the box framework that doesn't require Angular.js and which provides not only the UI but also the touch features as Ionic does?
Bootstrap might not be at the same level as all of these frameworks.
I would suggest you Onsen UI. Since Onsen UI 2.0 release (at the moment in open beta) the framework is completely agnostic, which means that can work standalone. Nevertheless, it's also still compatible with some of the most famous frameworks like AngularJS 1.x (and Angular 2 in the future), ReactJS (see demo) and KnockoutJS.
Moreover, besides being compatible with iOS and Android, it's one of the few frameworks to be compatible with Windows platform (Windows Phone, Windows Universal App) and to implement Material Design! The learning curve is also very fast.
The community is not so small, as you can see from StackOverflow activity and Gitter Channel. Moreover, the developers are very active in the development, in the issues fix (almost 600 bugs fixed at the moment) and open to listen to the users suggestions.
Take a look at this article about Onsen UI 2.0 and give it a shot.
I suggest you should use any of these UI frameworks

Save yourself all the stress, Its independent of any Js framework and very simple to implement, just like Bootstrap.
I have actually used the first one. framework7
You can create Mobile Apps UI with Native Look & Feel For Web or Hybrid
Our current web application for mobile is build with jquery mobile
https://www.bit2c.co.il/mobile
I would like to upgrade it with better ui, plus I believe that jquery mobile js and ui are not working smooth over IPhone 4. (the nav bars, header and footer, are refusing to stay fixed ).
So I did some research and found that mobile angular UI is working pretty well over different smart phones including IPhone 4.
My question is:
1.Is this framework well supported and will continue to grow ?
2.Is it working inside phonegap hybrid application ?
3.If using it means there is no need for jquery? and by that how all the functionality done with jquery is done with angular instead?
Please keep in mind I have little angular knowledge and I've seen there will be great change in angularJS 2.0. which leads me to concern in using this version.
Thanks !
If anything, Angular 2.0 is more mobile-aware than 1.3. My team has built a mobile-only application with Angular 1.3 and it works quite well. We've also wrapped it in Cordova to build native mobile apps, although there were more issues there due to third-party JavaScript. The main problem with starting a new app with Angular 1.3 today is that eventually Google will only push security fixes, and no new features will come to the framework. If you build a one-off app, that's fine, but if you're building a new product that will keep on evolving over the next 2 years, 1.3 is not the right choice anymore.
The main challenge I would say we have is that it takes a while to load upon the first page-load. We're a content site with little user "functionality" and while Angular has been good, I don't think it's the best solution for a plain content site; Angular is really meant for applications where you want users to interact with things on the screen without creating new pageloads for every click.
I intend to create a Material design based App for Android and Windows.Generally I use Cordova with Ionic framework for development.
In that combo can I add the css and js file of Angular-material and create an app with Material Design ?
Yes, angular material works with Cordova. I have tried basic application with AngularJS, Angular Material and Cordova. And this combination works. Angular material is still in development. I am facing few performance bottle necks. This may be one aspect need to think for time being.
Ionic Framework doesn't play well along with Angular Material.
But you can use AngularJs + Cordova + AngularMaterial and it will work like a charm.
If you do want a seed to start, you can look to this one:
https://github.com/mario-aleo/cordova-angular-angularMaterial-seed
You should not have any issues using Material Design in the same way that you've been using Ionic with Cordova.
In fact, the Ionic team was directly involved in the creation of Material Design. Check out this video for an overview of Material Design by Max Lynch, the co-creator of Ionic.

I've had some problems with cordova compared to straight mobile chrome. Some element don't align right and I think it has to do with the heavy use of flex. I'm still investigating but I'm pretty sure the version of webview my not support it completely. I know that older android versions won't at all. I'll update this if I know more or if anyone else has input on this post here.
I am using this seed : https://github.com/mario-aleo/cordova-angular-angularMaterial-seed
Overall feeling is really great. I am testing elements of material design in the app. Problems that I can see so far is dialog. It opens kinda laggy a bit.
Please post a couple links to screenshots or demos to best looking administration interfaces for web applications and why do you think so.
Personally, I like what 37signals produces, also extJS based panels, though they tend to be rather slow.
lipsiadmin is what you're lookin' for I guess
Lipsiadmin is a new revolutionary admin for your projects.Lipsiadmin is based on Ext Js 2.0. framework (with prototype adapter) and is ready for Rails 2.0. This admin is for newbie developper but also for experts, is not entirely written in javascript because the aim of developper wose build in a agile way web/site apps so we use extjs in a new intelligent way a mixin of 'old' html and new ajax functions, for example ext manage the layout of page, grids, tree and errors, but form are in html code.
