centred logo with hamburger stack icon in bootstrap 2.x - html

Im coding a navigation like the below mockup using bootstrap 2.x, the idea is to have a centered logo along with a 'hamburger stack navigation toggle'
Ive got the logo centered fine, but im a little unsure how to get it to work with the stack icon whilst keeping to logo centered, because if i add in another element (the hamburger stack) which will need its own span then the logo can only have span11 which isn't enough to center it on the page.
I guess i could achieve this with absolute positioning of the hamburger stack, but would this be correct in terms of using the bootstrap framework and keeping the responsive nature of it working correctly.
Ive made a jsfiddle of the issue here - http://jsfiddle.net/xKSUH/937/
The html im using is
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span12 logo-centre">
LOGO
</div>
<div class="span8">
= <!--hamburger stack placeholder icon-->
</div>

You can use an offset to create an empty column on the left side to keep the logo centered.
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span10 offset1 logo-centre">
LOGO
</div>
<div class="span1">
= <!--hamburger stack placeholder icon-->
</div>
</div>

Skeleton: A simple, floating, responsive navigation bar

I am trying to create a simple, floating and responsive navigation bar while using Skeleton boilerplate.
It should be nothing more than a logo align to the left of container and a few menu anchor links aligned to the right. Position of it should be fixed while scrolling the site's content, while staying in Skeleton's responsive grid. Exactly like here.
Natural way of doing this would be something like this for me.
<header>
<div class="container">
<div class="row" style="position: absolute; margin-top: 5rem">
<div class="two columns">
<!--LOGO-->
</div>
<div class="ten columns" style="text-align: right;">
<!--MENU-->
</div>
</div>
</div>
</header>
The problem is that by setting position: absolute, div loses its ability to divide into columns. Also, the links aren't clickable. Can anyone suggest a working solution? Having a hamburger menu icon on mobile would be an ideal extension, so if anyone knows the simplest way to do this, I would love to hear it out.
Thanks in advance!

How to make text center in Hero image with bootstrap

I'm trying to model the following design with Bootstrap.
Currently I've found a method to do this using "carousel-caption" class from bootstrap CSS but it doesn't seem to working as expected.
The html looks like this:
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<img src="http://placehold.it/1000x550" alt="test" class="img-responsive">
<div class="carousel-caption">
<h1>Text word1 word2 superlative.</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
You can see an example of on https://jsfiddle.net/3vf5gog4/2/
This produces a single title but the image doesn't stretch and the title is not vertically centered and I can't figure out how I should be adding another title beneath the current carousel title
This is one of those things with bootstrap that can trip you up. So the .container-fluid class has a padding around it and so to the other grid elements so thats causing the issues with the stretch. Vertically centred elements in CSS can be a pain there is one good method I've seen on it but I typically just eye ball the percent and add some precent
I've edited your fiddle to take out the bootstrap padding and centre that text.
https://jsfiddle.net/3vf5gog4/5/
Try this :
.carousel-caption{
postion:absolute;
top : 20%;
}

Bootstrap cutting part of ShareThis buttons

I am attempting to embed ShareThis code in to a website created using Bootstrap.
Problem is that for some reason the bottom of both buttons is cut off and also I cannot seem to center the buttons using Bootstrap column offsets as it seems impossible to get both buttons exactly centered using this method.
What is the solution here?
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12">
<span class='st_facebook_vcount' displayText='Facebook'></span>
<span class='st_twitter_vcount' displayText='Tweet'></span>
</div>
</div>
I'm not too familiar with the ShareThis buttons, do you have a link to view the site?
Regarding the centering, currently you are using a col-lg-12 which means it takes up 100% of the width and everything inside (your buttons) would be left aligned by default. You wouldn't necessarily need to use the bootstrap column offset but just put the spans in a wrapper as below. You can find out more about the Bootstrap Grid here http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12">
<div class="social-wrapper">
<span class='st_facebook_vcount' displayText='Facebook'></span>
<span class='st_twitter_vcount' displayText='Tweet'></span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Then add text-align:center to the wrapper.
.social-wrapper {
text-align: center;
}

How to make an image stay exactly at the screen left side in Bootstrap, without ruining the text in the same row and its responsiveness?

I want an image to stay exactly on the left side of the screen(fix it to the left side). I want the image to "start" from the screen's side. I managed to do this with
position:fixed; left: -15px;
and it works from the viewpoint of the image, it starts at the screen's left side exactly on every screen I tested.
BUT it ruins other things, namely the text on the same row will be on top of the picture, AND if I decrease the windows/screen size it will become more of a mess with the text.
What's a better solution?
My code:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3" id="swoosh">
<img class="img-responsive" src="img/img1.png">
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<h1>Title of the website</h1>
<p class="lead">Use this document as a way to quickly start any new project.<br> All you get is this text and a mostly barebones HTML document.</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
<img class="img-responsive" src="img/logo.png">
</div>
</div>
I want the first picture, so img1.png to be on the left, the title should be in the middle, and the logo.png on the right. The second image, the logo.png doesn't need to be fixed to the right, just img1 to the left.
I tried to provide the all the info you need, but I'm new here so please tell me if there's anything more you need!
Thank you in advance!
EDIT: Added fiddles.
As you can see, the black image does not start at the screen's left side exactly here:
http://www.bootply.com/bGJhH27MQO
The next fiddle shows you how the black image should be positioned, but it ruins the site:
http://www.bootply.com/sFeKODGOSq
Actually, your html almost works. As you found out, using a fixed position within Bootstrap's grid system doesn't work very well.
Rather than trying to fix the <div> to the left edge, you should try fixing the image to the left edge. You don't need to use absolute positioning to do it. You can use a negative margin-left value to shift the image to the left. See updated code below
#swoosh {
margin-left: -15px;
}
<div class='container-fluid'>
<div class="row outerDiv">
<div class="col-xs-3 col-md-2 imageDiv" >
<img class="img-responsive" id="swoosh" ...
The actual value of the margin-left value is a little fuzzy. The value of -15px is to offset the padding-left value in the Bootstrap's col-xxxx classes. You will need to adjust the the value to meet your needs.
I've created a working version at JSBin
Okay, you have the row element within a container - so unless you use negative margins you won't be able to move the element the whole way across. You could place that row within a container-fluid element which will remove the restrictions on the location but it would stretch the element the whole width of the screen
<div class="container">
<div class="navbar navbar-default">
<p>Navbar Code Here</p>
</div>
</div><!-- /.container -->
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3" id="swoosh">
<img class="img-responsive" src="http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/7/71/Black.png">
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<h1>Title of the website</h1>
<p class="lead">Use this document as a way to quickly start any new project.<br> All you get is this text and a mostly barebones HTML document.</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
<img class="img-responsive" src="http://globe-views.com/dcim/dreams/red/red-01.jpg">
</div>
</div>
</div><!-- /.container-fluid -->
You can then remove the padding on that left image by applying
#swoosh {padding-left: 0;}
to your css.
If you need to change the alignment of the columns in responsive views, you should start taking a look at http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid-example-mixed-complete to change the layout at the viewport reduces - perhaps using col-xs-6 etc to achieve the alignment you are after

How to maintain "gutter space" between "responsive" grid divs when they collapse?

Im using the newest twitter bootstrap to construct a responsive grid website. i have three divs across a responsive grid like so:
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span4">...</div>
<div class="span4">...</div>
<div class="span4">...</div>
</div>
...and this works as intended via the bootsrap documentation. However I have a separate background color on these divs from the html body background color, and when i drag the browser window to a smaller width to "collapse" the divs to show on top of each other, the gutter space between them disappears (creating a look of one big div versus three separate ones) is there anything i can do to create some gutter space between the divs when the width gets small enough to cause them to stack vertically?
You have a couple options...
(1) You could define a class and apply it to any divs you want to have a bottom margin.
In your application.css (or similar):
.mb10 {margin-bottom:10px;}
In your html page:
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span4 mb10">....</div>
<div class="span4 mb10">....</div>
<div class="span4 mb10">....</div>
</div>
OR
(2) You could make sure you wrap your div.span4 content in <p></p> tags.
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span4"><p>....</p></div>
<div class="span4"><p>....</p></div>
<div class="span4"><p>....</p></div>
</div>
From the Bootstrap - Typography section:
http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/base-css.html#typography
In addition,
<p> (paragraphs) receive a bottom margin of half their line-height
(10px by default).
