I need to redesign web site that has been done in Sitefinity 3.7. Current version is 6.3 ( I believe ).
I watched some tutorials about this CMS because I use it for the first time.
Can you tell me how much templating system differs in this old 3.7 version from current 6.3?
Is it possible to use Bootstrap 3?
We've been using Bootstrap in all of our recent Sitefinity implementations. I usually end up creating a vanilla, base page template off a .master page that includes references to the Bootstrap css and js, then create custom layout controls through Sitefinity's Visual Studio plugin, Thunder. Using the layouts you can easily create the markup needed for the grid layouts and components in Bootstrap so content editors can drag and drop them through the Sitefinity page edit interface. Editing the widget templates is another way to incorporate Bootstrap styling in the built in content modules.
Here is a project that has a Sitefinity Bootstrap theme, I believe the version of Bootstrap it uses is 2.31 though.
Update!
Jochem added Bootstrap version 3+ to the project, my fault for not seeing it, sorry Jochem! Direct link here

I am using a php dojo v1.4 project with mysql as backend.
The UI looks very basic.
I need to migrate this project to a standard bootstrap admin theme.
What are the steps I need to do?
If backend and general architecture of your application will remain the same, I'd suggest you to start building new UI from the scratch. When it finished, write missing functions, which were previously implemented with dojo using jquery (which comes with bootstrap) or whatever you like.
I assume, that you are not going to use dojo anymore.
If you are facing some specific difficulties, you'd better provide more details in your question.
Is it possible to use a kind of no-conflict (like in jQuery) with two versions of the Bootstrap (2.x and 3.x) on a page?
The question has arisen because of the lack of compatibility of the Joomla 3.6! with the Bootstrap 3.x and intensive usage of the Bootstrap 2.3.2
There is idea to use customized, namespaced version of Bootstrap 3.x. But is that idea viable?
Note: there is solution with template overrides. But it uses a lot of files for overriding and I have to use all of them for each of my 6+ templates
We are currently trying to include Dojo in our liferay 7 application and are running into major difficulties, as it seems the AMD loader is clashing with the AMD loader of Liferay, and its preventing Dojo's define and require from working properly.
If anyone as a solution to getting dojo into Liferay 7 I would appreciate any advice or tips you have for getting this to work.
When using dojo application together with Liferay I could suggest you:
Keep dojo loader requiring only AMD modules from dojo and not Liferay, so use dojo only for dojo and Liferay only for Liferay.
Same when building the application, you need to have two separate build processes, dojo uses it own tools called dojo/util and you won't be able to easily build a dojo app using another builder.
I developed the project in Bootstrap v3.0.1. Now some bugs were fixed and released the version Bootstrap v3.1.1. is there any guide to Migrating from Bootstrap v3.0.1 to Bootstrap v3.1.1.
I just backed up first, then copied the new files over the top of the old ones.
I had no problems.
The main point is BACKUP before you start.

Bootstrap follows Semantic Versioning, so v3.1.1 is backward-compatible with v3.0.1, except for one exceptional change regarding how the remote option of modals works, which happened in v3.1.0 (see the "Remote modal content" section of http://blog.getbootstrap.com/2014/01/30/bootstrap-3-1-0-released/ for details).
You can also read each of the relevant release blog posts (which have the changelogs) if you're really paranoid: http://blog.getbootstrap.com/
Lotus Notes 8.5.3 uses dojo 1.5.1. However I want to use dojo 1.6/1.7 library in my NSF database. How can I do it? I tried to use the technique suggested by Keith Strickland in his blog but no luck.
I need to include the dojo library in NSF database and not on server.
The reason I want to do this so as to use the advanced Dojo Mobile libraries (from dojo 1.6/1.7) in my XPages.
UPDATE: I even posted this question on XPages forum some time back but no replies.
The Domino 8.5.3 server uses Dojo 1.6.1 for XPages. You should see this if you view the HTML source of a test application.
As an example, I see this in one of my applications:
"/xsp/.ibmxspres/dojoroot-1.6.1/dojo/dojo.js"
If you are going to create apps using Dojo Mobile then take a look at the Extension Library and the latest Upgrade Pack 1 for Domino 8.5.3. Both includes XPages Mobile controls.
Per's correct that the Dojo plugin that is loaded by default is 1.6.1 (the ".1" is because it includes IBM-specific code and this means it differentiates it from anything a developer has added in).
The files in the js folder on the server / client are 1.5.1 and this is needed for iNotes.
You can change the Dojo version in the xsp.properties by setting xsp.client.script.dojo.version in Package Explorer. Incidentally UP1 offers a nice visual editor for the xsp.properties file.
However, currently if you change this setting you need to uncheck "Use runtime optimized javaScript and CSS resources" or it will still use the plugin. I noticed this too late for anything to be done before the Gold release.
If you add 1.7 files to the server and include the IBM folder from 1.5.1 it may work. AFAIK there's no way to get the IBM folder from the plugin code.
