Using Bootstrap to Change Button Color
ruby-on-rails, twitter-bootstrap-rails
Solution
If you are using Bootsrap with LESS, you can simply do:
.btn-primary {
.buttonBackground(@yourColor, @yourColorDarker); //(button, hover)
}
If not then you simply override the button class which you want to change color:
.btn-warning { background-color: Your color; } //button
.btn-warning:hover { background-color: Your color; } //hover
Furthermore, since it appears you want to change the button color to green why dont you use the .btn-success class like so:
<%= button_tag "Hello", :class => "btn btn-success" %>

Problem
I'm using RoR to make a one-month rails website. This is the code from the styles.css.scss sheet. It utilizes bootstrap. I am unsure as to why but the button color does not change despite the $btnPrimaryBackground: green text. Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts on why the button color doesn't change? Thanks. ``` $baseFontFamily: Oxygen; @import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oxygen); $navbarBackgroundHighlight: white; $navbarBackground: white; $btnPrimaryBackground: green; @import 'bootstrap'; body{ padding-top: 60px; } @import 'bootstrap-responsive'; .navbar-inner{ @include box-shadow(none !important); border: 0; } .footer{ margin-top: 50px; color: $grayLight; a{ color: $gray; } } ```
