Navbar lack of personalization

[fabiomlferreira]

In a project I use Navbar extensively and I found that it should be more generic, for example:

• we should be able to set the the only the classes that we want to use, but it append allwais the navbar class (ie. Html::addCssClass($this->options, 'navbar'); )
• it's impossible to remove the toggle button (ie. echo $this->renderToggleButton();). In some layouts we may have the toggle button in a different local.

The Navbar is a great class and works like a charm in the default bootstrap theme, but in custom layouts it is not generic enough to do it job.

Keep the good working guys ;)

With correct bootstrap customizing you'll always have class="navbar ..." start. If you feel you do not need navbar class this is incorrect way of extending bootstrap. There is classes like navbar-default and navbar-inverse. If you need some different navbar, just create new class navbar-project.

In some layouts we may have the toggle button in a different local.

For toggle button example needed.

@invaderhd You are right, the Yii-components are usually rigid and cannot be easily customized, sometimes because of lack of documentation and sometimes because it's not possible. I wanted to add an icon instead of text but not possible. There is someone working on this though now. Don't know when the rest will be reworked or rather completed.
