Hi Francisco,

happy to help you, as I've gone a 4 day intensive bootstrap 3 integration 
to web2py and learned a lot about customizing the views and forms. This 
might not be the best (or only) solution, but has worked well for me:

- Web2py form includes classes based on their type, which I recommend to 
keep, if you want any added web2py functionality.
- You need to use custom form style (form.custom.begin) and then manipulate 
each widget separately (or all of them in a for loop)

Here's my form code in a view (controller is not modified). In this form I 
have added "form-control" class of bootstrap 3 and kept the original class 
as well. For textarea you can do "form.custom.widget.textfield['_rows'] = 
3" if you want to make a smaller textarea.

<<<
<form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" role="form">
<div class="form-group">
                    {{form.custom.widget.campaign['_class'] = 
'generic-widget form-control'}}
                    {{form.custom.widget.topic['_class'] = 'string 
form-control'}}
                    {{form.custom.widget.topic['_placeholder'] = 'Idea 
topic'}}
                    {{form.custom.widget.description['_class'] = 'text 
form-control'}}
                    {{form.custom.widget.description['_placeholder'] = 
'Idea description'}}
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label for="exampleSelect">Select a campaign</label>
                        {{=form.custom.widget.campaign}}
                    </div>
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label for="exampleInputTopic">Input idea topic and 
description</label>
                        {{=form.custom.widget.topic}}
                    </div>
                    <div class="form-group">
                        {{=form.custom.widget.description}}
                    </div>
                    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit 
your idea</button>
                </div>
{{=form.custom.end}}
