And of course some tests fail because they are wrong. Hmm. I'll fix them later.

The tracker item has instructions for testing the functions that are easily testable with a base install of Joomla. Many of the functions in JHtmlBootstrap are not used at all but are provided (presumably) so that extensions developers can take advantage of Bootstrap's features. To test all of them, you'd need to install some extension that uses them.

Carousel tested with
JHtmlBootstrap::carousel('carousel', array('interval'=>200, 'pause'=>'hover'));
Works now as expected. Autostarts and correct interval.

@okonomiyaki3000 @roland-d the modal part needs some changes, as the code is already deprecated

Hello I tested the following Feartures:

modal - Used on admin pages which have a 'batch' button that brings up a modal dialog. Tested

popover - Used on the module type select page to pop up a message with more information about each module type. Tested

tooltip - Used on most list views such as the Category Manager and Article Manager. Displays the tooltip when mousing over the column names and certain column content. Tested

startTabset (and related functions) - Used on virtually every edit page. Tested

startAccordion (and related functions) - Used in the modal dialog for menu item type selection. Tested

@dgt41 Thank you for stepping in here. How do you propose to fix this PR? It has been tested successfully twice. Perhaps a PR against this one by @okonomiyaki3000 ?

There were some problems with the tests. I'll have a look at this deprecated modal issue.

@wnnz34 JHtmlBootstrap::modal is not really used for those batch buttons. The only place I can find it being used at all is in the modules view and it's completely unnecessary there. That line can be removed and the modal still works because the js code to actually create and open the modal is in the layout file.

The comment on the modal function: "JS Not working" is not correct. It works perfectly it just doesn't really do anything. It sets up the modal but never opens it (unless "show": true is part of the $params object but this will just cause the modal to open instantly on page load). So the function is kind of useless.

Sorry, off topic, but I think really all of these front-end functions are kind of stupid. This front-end stuff just be done on the front end. We don't need PHP functions to do it.

@roland-d OK, well as a follow up to myself...

Yes, @okonomiyaki3000, you are correct that the modal function (which will apparently be removed in 4.0 anyway) is no longer used anywhere. Even so, fixing it is a good idea.

I also agree with you that these back-end functions should not exist at all.

Also, I've rebased with the latest staging.

Folks, see #11400
