Integration of Bootstrap Template with Fabrik (Solved)

[nobicycle]

Greetings
Having leisurely learned a certain amount and admired Fabrik over the past two months I've just gotten around to adding some Fabrik forms to a Joostrap.com template and discovered the rendering by Fabrik gets dropped. In the first attached image the Fabrik rendering of a form is "correct" - 2 columns and a validation icon over the first field. But the rendering in the Joostrap front-end (see second image) drops this rendering - single column and no icon? Is there a way for Fabrik and Bootstrap templates to play together?

I looked at the Create Overrides possibility with the template but I can't see how that would help. I'm left wondering what are the general principles for integrating a template with Fabrik? and how to get my Fabrik rendering back?
Cheers

Fabrik needs a bootstrap (BS2) Joomla template (see Protostar template coming with Joomla).

Have a look at

This is a plugin that manages the integration of bootstrap features into a non protostar template.

Works brilliantly for me.

Thank you Alastair.
The plugin worked like a miracle. All I needed to do was load it.
Phew.
