No sub theme folder inside bootstrap theme folder

Question

I just installed Bootstrap 3 theme in Drupal 7, but the subtheme folder is missing. I am new to Drupal and am following online tutorials but no result. All instructions direct me to a sub theme folder in themes>bootstrap> bootstrap-subtheme, but there is no such folder. I removed the theme and reinstalled but still no folder.

Answer 1

Have a look in the starterkits folder then choose between less or cdn.

For more information, have a look on files within docs folder

Answer 2

See http://drupal-bootstrap.org/api/bootstrap/docs!subtheme!README.md/group/subtheme/7.

To start with, you need to choose an Existing Starterkit.

• CDN Starterkit - uses the "out-of-the-box" CSS and JavaScript files served by the jsDelivr CDN.
• LESS Starterkit - uses the Bootstrap Framework source files and a local LESS preprocessor. Create a New Sub-theme

Then follow these steps:

• Copy over one of the starterkits you have chosen from the ./bootstrap/starterkits folder into sites/all/themes or a respective sites/*/themes folder.
• Rename the folder to a unique machine readable name. This will be your sub-theme's "name". For this example and future examples we'll use subtheme.
• Rename ./subtheme/cdn.starterkit or, if using the LESS Starterkit, ./subtheme/less.starterkit to match the folder name and append .info (e.g. ./subtheme/subtheme.info).
• Open ./subtheme/subtheme.info and change the name, description and any other properties to suite your needs.

WARNING: Ensure that the .starterkit suffix is not present on your sub-theme's .info filename. This suffix is simply a stop gap measure to ensure that the bundled starter kit sub-theme cannot be enabled or used directly. This helps people unfamiliar with Drupal avoid modifying the starter kit sub-theme directly and instead forces them to create a new sub-theme to modify.

Answer 3

Just create the sub-theme folder manually. The folder name you'd use for it will be the machine name of your subtheme.

For more details, refer to:

• "Creating a sub-theme" (= Community documentation that applies to any sub-theme).
• "Sub-theming" (= documentation about sub-theming specific to Drupal's Bootstrap theme).

If you prefer to look at a great (I think) example of a (contributed) Bootstrap sub-theme, then have a look at the Bootstrap Business theme.

Note: the question about "Right way to start with a Bootstrap subtheme?" contains a lot of details to get started with such sub-theme ...
