Twitter Bootstrap/Unify center variable amount of images - html

I want to create a call-to-action box with centered content
The box is contains two rows
the first row has the title and the second a variable amount of images, with a maximum of 12 (if greater than, then it will be three or more rows).
The text get perfectly centered using .text-center.
However i cannot create a div with the width of the content.
What i have now:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12" style=" padding: 10px 0 0;">
<div class="row text-center">
<div class="col-md-12 animated fadeInLeft">
<span class="color-green">Title</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row text-center">
<div class="col-md-9 center-block">
<!-- Content / Images-->
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I tried multiple setups but the center-block doesn't seem to place the col-md-9 in the middle. (even though it does apply margin: 0 auto;)
What can i do to create equal width images in the center of their container, with variable amount. I'm using Unify Template which is based on Twitter Bootstrap 3

Since text-center affects on inline-level elements(children) only, you need to make them inline. It's clear. So all you need is to make <div class="col-md-9 center-block"> inline. Do it:
.center-block {
display: inline-block;
float: none;
}
If you want to push not more than 12 images in one line without javascript, I think there's the only way:
.center-block img {
width: 8.2%;
}

How to make Bootstrap columns take the height of main?

I want to center vertically the divs inside the container but the columns take the height of the document and not of main (whom height equals the one of its content) Hereby my code:
<main class="col-lg-12">
<div class="col-lg-1 col-md-0"></div>
<div class="col-lg-4 col-md-6 col-xs-12">
<img src={{image}}>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-1 col-md-0" ></div>
<div class="col-lg-4 col-md-6 col-xs-12">
<div class="title">{{title}}</div>
<div class="text">{{text1}}</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-1 col-md-0"></div>
</main>
main div{
height: 100%;
}
I can see in Developer Tools that the div takes 100% of the doc not of main... How could I fix this in order to vertically align the image?
Thank you!
first bootstrap .col should be in .row container
you might need one in your main col to nest columns inside
then, don’t write css to set height:100% on columns, you dont need that.
If I’m right .col have display: flex, so you can use align-items-stretch class to make you column taking the height of their wrapper, being the missing .row
I suppose you will need a height:100% on the row. to do that add it a class h-100

Bootstrap 3.0: Full-Width Color Background, Compact Columns in Center

I was looking to make a striped business theme, similar to the one created by W3Schools. The theme can be found here. It is characterized by horizontal sections, separated by different background colors.
The one issue I had with it was that the columns in Services, Portfolio and Pricing, spanned pretty much the full width of the page, which I did not think looked great, particularly for the three pricing boxes, which i feel should be much narrower and still centered. Let's take those pricing boxes as the example for the purpose of the questions.
So, I embarked upon the task of squeezing these three pricing boxes into a narrower shape, centered on the page, while still maintaining the full-width alternating background color. I came up with three ways to do it:
1) Place a Container inside a Container-Fluid:
<div id="pricing" class="container-fluid">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4 col-xs-12">
BlaBlaBla
</div>
...
</div>
</div>
</div>
2) Make the following additions/changes to the css and html:
.fixed-width {
display: inline-block;
float: none;
width: 300px;
}
.row-centered {
text-align: center;
}
-
<div id="pricing" class="container-fluid">
<div class="row row-centered">
<div class="col-sm-4 col-xs-12 fixed-width">
BlaBlaBla
</div>
...
</div>
</div>
3) 3x col-sm-2, with empty columns on each side
Keep the container-fluid layout, but instead of having three col-sm-4, I have an empty col-sm-3, three col-sm-2, and finally an empty col-sm-3 (for a total of 12 columns).
4) 3x col-sm-2, with offset-3 to center
Instead of having three col-sm-4, I have one col-sm-2 col-sm-offset-3, then two col-sm-2 (this does not add to 12, but i center with offset).**
The problem with both (3) and (4) is that once i shrink the browser window, the boxes become too small before they wrap to the next line (i.e. the text flows out of the box). In (4) it seems if i use container (as opposed to container-fluid), the boxes become too narrow in full-screen even.
What is the correct way of doing this? I assume this is an issue almost everyone making business websites stumbles across, yet I was not able to find the answer online having worked on it for hours.
Thanks in advance,
Magnus
Below follows what I think is the best way to solve this. I will divide it up in whether or not it is a background image or color we are looking to apply accross the full width.
CSS (formatting for illustration purposes and fixed width)
.content{
padding:20px;
border: 1px solid #269abc;
background:#d6ec94;
}
[class*="col-"] {
padding-top:10px; /* 15px side paddings automatically applied */
padding-bottom:10px;
border: 1px solid grey;
background: transparent;
}
.fixed-width {
display:inline-block;
float:none;
width: 300px;
}
The key here is the fixed-width class, and follows your approach (2). The other styles are just so you can try it and easily see how it works.
CSS (background image)
#one {
background-image: url([insert-url]);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: contain;
height:500px;
}
The key here is the background-size: contain element. As long as the width/height ratio of your background image is larger than the section's ratio, the image will fill the full background.
CSS (background color)
#two {
background-color: grey;
height:500px;
}
background-color works without any tweaks.
HTML
<section id="one">
<div class="container">
<div class="row text-center">
<div class="col-sm-4 fixed-width">
<div class="content">HERE</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4 fixed-width">
<div class="content">HERE</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4 fixed-width">
<div class="content">HER</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>
As seen, by adding a <section> around the container, you can apply the background image or color to the full width of the page.
IN Bootstrap,
Col-lg is large screen,
Col-sm is small screen,
Col-md is medium devices,
Col-xs is Small screen.
According to the browser ,we can use the all classes.In my experience we can use the col-lg-offset-3 for large screen,Remaining screen we should use without offset,like us,
UL list format:
<style>
ul{
margin:0;padding:0;
text-align:center;
}
ul li
{
display:inline-block;
text-align:center;
width:300px;
}
</style>
<ul>
<li>box1</li>
<li>box2</li>
<li>box3</li>
</ul>
whatever screen all list will come in center position of screen.
other format:
<div class="container">
<div class="row text-center">
<div class="col-lg-offset-3 col-lg-2 col-sm-4 col-md-4 col-xs-12">contenbox..</div>
<div class="col-lg-2 col-sm-4 col-md-4 col-xs-12">contenbox..</div>
<div class="col-lg-2 col-sm-4 col-md-4 col-xs-12">contenbox..</div>
</div>
</div>
we should use all classes to our business requirement.if we can alter-ate the various offset class for col-sm-offset-,col-md-offset.,
<div class="col-sm-4 col-xs-12">
Is the important line. The col-sm-4 is saying on small screens and above, take up 4 of 12 bootstrap columns. So, try decreasing this to 3 of 12 bootstrap columns, i.e. col-sm-3. Here it is within the example source code:
<div class="col-sm-3 col-xs-12">
<div class="panel panel-default text-center">
<div class="panel-heading">
<h1>Basic</h1>
</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<p><strong>20</strong> Lorem</p>
<p><strong>15</strong> Ipsum</p>
<p><strong>5</strong> Dolor</p>
<p><strong>2</strong> Sit</p>
<p><strong>Endless</strong> Amet</p>
</div>
<div class="panel-footer plan">
<h3>$19</h3>
<h4>per month</h4>
<button class="btn btn-lg">Sign Up</button>
</div>
</div>

col-lg-8 not using 8/12ths of the screen?

Hi all I'm using this bit of code
<section id="post1">
<div class="container-fluid post-1">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12">
<div class="col-lg-8 oblongbig">
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4">
<div class="row">
<div class="=col-lg-6 oblong">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-6 oblong">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>
to create three boxes, have a look at http://deliciousproductions.com.au
My problem is that the first and larger box is fine but the second two boxes should start after the first col-lg-8, but they just start right up against the large box, as though there's no padding/margin. I added a 10px margin so it's easier to understand. So the col-lg-8 isn't making it's width 8/12's of the screen?
The 2 boxes in rows also aren't responsive, they are but when you make the page smaller this happens: https://gyazo.com/4929147de70b0a88ac54d29f4ff2c243
and then finally: gyazo[.]com/c57374233a4e0f14fc4f757841893cc5
What would you recommend to make it so when the page resizes the 2 smaller boxes resize so they fit next to each horizontally under the larger box. This is for a blog style site btw.
cheers, Nik
here's the css for each box too
.oblongbig {
float: left;
width: 600px;
height: 300px;
background-color: #050505;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: rgba(0,0,0,.2);
margin: 10px;
}
.oblongbig:hover, .oblong:hover {
background-color: #121212;
}
.oblong {
float: left;
width: 300px;
height: 150px;
background-color: #050505;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: rgba(0,0,0,.2);
margin: 10px;
}
similar to this: demo
There is some problem with your grid code. Use this one
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-8">
<div style="height:330px;background:#000;"></div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12">
<div style="height:150px;background:#000;margin-bottom:30px;"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12">
<div style="height:150px;background:#000;"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Also don't apply styles directly on grid column. Place content div inside grid column and apply whichever styles you want on that div.
Check out this URL for better understanding of Bootstrap grid system - http://www.tutorialrepublic.com/twitter-bootstrap-tutorial/bootstrap-grid-system.php
To count a column you need to consider the value of the intervals between them.
Here you can see a visual explanation
There are a couple of issues going on in your code. For Bootstrap columns to work properly, you can't have a column div inside another column div without starting a row. For example, you must format it like this:
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-8">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-6"></div>
<div class="col-lg-6"></div>
</div><!-- .row -->
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4"></div>
</div><!-- .row -->
</div>
In your example you have two nested columns with no row in between. This will mess up your column padding & margins.
Refer to the docs: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid-nesting
Next, you're applying your own classes (.oblong, .oblongbig) with set float, fixed width, and margin to the Bootstrap column div. These are overriding the Bootstrap styles and preventing your columns from working properly.
The best idea is to use elements with Bootstrap classes to build your layout, then put elements inside these layout elements with your own custom classes. For example:
<div class="col-lg-6">
<div class="oblong">Your content here, separate from the Bootstrap element</div>
</div>
Avoid overriding the framework's styles, as this results in confusing code. Once you reformat your code so that columns are correctly nested and you're not overriding the Bootstrap classes with your own custom widths, it should come together how you want.

How to make panels full height of parent div?

I use Bootstrap 3 on a form with the following HTML, containing 4 panels with the same structure as the example below.
My problem here is that each panel contains a different and therefore appears with a different height. I tried adding style="height:100%" to them but that didn't change anything.
Can someone tell me how I can set them to always take the full height, independent of their content? Basically, what I am trying to achieve is to have all 4 panels take the same height as they appear in one row - they only thing the differ is the paragraph with the variable text, everything else is the same for all panels and takes the same height for each of them.
Example panel:
<form role="form">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-3 col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12">
<div class="thumbnail thumbnail-hover">
<div class="txtcntr" style="width:100%"><span>Placeholder for icon</span></div>
<div class="caption">
<h3 class="text-primary">Title</h3>
<p>Some variable text</p>
<p>View</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
// ...same structure for other panels...
</form>
Here is what I did: http://jsfiddle.net/o7p1jtjv/1/
By setting the .row to have a hidden overflow, and then giving each column div a margin-bottom equalling the padding-bottom, you force them to all be larger than the .row, but none of the overflowing content (extra div space) is shown.
For comparison, here is one without the extra rules: http://jsfiddle.net/o7p1jtjv/2/
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-4">
<p>text</p>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<p>text</p>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<p>text</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
.row
{
overflow: hidden;
}
.row > div
{
background: red;
margin-bottom: -999999px;
padding-bottom: 999999px;
}
To adjust the height of your thumbnail use a fixed pixel height like 300px.
.thumbnail {
height: 300px;
}
The thumbnail class does not respond to percentage height changes.
Like #Dan said, the panel class would be a better option. If you prefer not to use fixed height, you can use CSS flexbox like this..

How can I center an column on bootstrap when it is an uneven number

I have the following scenario:
I have a <div class="row"> and then I have another <div class="col-lg-3"> where I will be putting the picture of a profile of an user. The problem is that I would like to center that picture to be in the middle of the available space, so I would normally do this:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-3 col-lg-offset-x">
<img src="..." class="..." alt="..." title="..." data-size="...">
</div>
</div>
What would be the x value on the class of the <div class="col-lg-3 col-lg-offset-x"> If I wanted to center that div? Anybody has any idea how to do that?
Duplicate of Center a column using Twitter Bootstrap 3
"You can center any column size by using the proven margin: 0 auto; technique, you just need to take care of the floating that is added by Bootstrap's grid system. I recommend defining a custom CSS class like the following:
.col-centered{
float: none;
margin: 0 auto;
}
Now you can add it to any column size at any screen size and it will work seamlessly with Bootstrap's responsive layout :
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-1 col-centered"></div>
</div>
Note: With both techniques you could skip the .row element and have the column centered inside a .container but you would notice a minimal difference in the actual column size because of the padding in the container class."
