Creating a tag cloud with bootstrap - css

I have a page where I can view all tags.
Some tags might be more popular thus they will be displayed slightly bigger than the tag elements that are not as popular.
Right now when one line cant fit anymore tags, flexbox puts them on the next line:
But as you can see theres a lot of empty space,
What I would like is to have the tags in a bit more scattered manner like so:
This is my code:
<div class="row" style="align-items: flex-start;">
#foreach($tags as $tag)
<a href="#"
style="
font-size: {{ ( 15 * $count }}px;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
margin: 0;
"
class="m-3 btn btn-secondary ">
Tag Name
<span class="badge badge-light mx-1">2</span>
</a>
#endforeach
</div>
I have tried cycling through different flex properties, but I can't seem to get any results.
I also am not sure how to phrase this type of styling method for research so any references to something similar will help.
EDIT:
After a bit of digging, I found out that tag clouds is what I am trying to achieve.
Most what I have found are either too over styled or include a library, but I believe I just need to find the correct properties to align the tags.
Here is the very barebones version of what I am trying to achieve

you might want to take a look at css grid. You can create grid areas and place your large tags over multiple grid cells.

Formatting checkboxes in django

i'm trying to add some checkboxes into my form and to make them look nice. The thing is that when I use {{form.checkBoxFilter}} the output is like:
I would like to have them inline and readable, unfortunately using crispy forms renders them too close to each other.
I found that looping through elements will place them inline but still they're close to each other (their labels are much longer than shown below).
{% for x in filter.weights%} {{x}} {%endfor%}
Where to put my css in this case?
filters.py:
weights = django_filters.MultipleChoiceFilter(
label = "Filter by weight",
required=False,
widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple,
choices=OZ,
method = 'filter_by_checkbox'
)
Adding directly into static/css won't work :
input[type=checkbox]
{
padding: 20px;
margin: 20px 15px 0px 3px;
}
You could use css to seperate them. For example you could use a bootstrap stylesheet in your base.html (read here).
when installed you could do it like this:
<div class="container">
<div class="row mb-1">
{% for x in filter.weights %}
<div class="col-sm-XX">
{{x}}
</div>
{%endfor%}
</div>
</div>
where XX should be a suitable size. Keep in mind bootstrap divedes the page in 12 parts. Also it comes with some css features.
Update for your edit:
assign a class to your checkbox and go for the class in the css. You can also use the built in x.as_p to display it as <p> element.

Re-ordering div using CSS

I would like to re-order some div using only CSS if possible.
Here is the HTML sample I want to re-order:
<div class="block1">
Block1
</div>
<div class="block2">
<div class="subblock1">S-Block1</div>
<div class="subblock2">S-Block2</div>
<div class="subblock3">S-Block3</div>
</div>
And this is the graphical result I want:
S-Block1
S-Block2
Block1
S-Block3
I already tried playing with display: flex; and order: X but with no success. The main problem lays in the fact that I want to split the block2 before and after the block1. The flex display only allow me to change order of block of the same "level".
I would really like to have a solution that doesn't not use JavaScript to re-write the DOM (by taking subblock3 and putting it elsewhere to please my CSS) if possible.
It appears this is not possible and javascript is not an option for my problem.
Here is the sample code I used (jQuery needed).
$(".subblock2").prependTo(".form-wrapper");
$(".subblock1").prependTo(".form-wrapper");

Legitimately hide/prevent Rich Snippet html from rendering on screen - is this OK to do?

I am using rich snippets on my site, I have all of the code for them in the footer so that they are centrally located and easy to access. I do not want the text around these snippets rendered on the page because that info is elsewhere on the site. Is it ok to hide this text by using style="display:none" or will Google ignore the rich snippet entirely because the fields are hidden?
<!-- start rich snippet code -->
<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/LocalBusiness">
<span itemprop="name" style="display:none">My Business Name</span>
<div itemprop="address" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/PostalAddress">
<span itemprop="streetAddress" style="display:none">123 Example Street, Suite 456</span>
<span itemprop="addressLocality" style="display:none">Major City</span>
<span itemprop="addressRegion" style="display:none">NY</span>
<span itemprop="postalCode" style="display:none">12345</span>
<span itemprop="addressCountry" style="display:none">US</span>
</div>
<span itemprop="telephone" style="display:none">(123) 456-7890</span>
<a itemprop="URL" style="display:none">http://www.mycompanysite.com/</a>
</div>
<!-- end rich snippet code -->
Any info would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
As #Diodeus said, ideally you'd have these rich snippets on the actual info that is shown to the user elsewhere on the site. Duplicating it is usually unnecessary.
Yes, Google may well ignore this content based on the display:nones. Can I ask why you're setting it on each element rather than just once on the highest level div?
A way around the display:none potential SEO issue would be to hide it in a different way. For example give the parent div a class of .visuallyhidden and add this to your stylesheet:
.visuallyhidden {
border: 0;
clip: rect(0 0 0 0);
height: 1px;
margin: -1px;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
width: 1px;
}
I would like to mention that Google tries heavily (using combination of algorithmic and manual things) to find websites which illegitimately use hidden text.
The typical penalty for that would be a removal from index for 30 days. However, you should not be concerned if you use hidden fields legitimate ways.
There is a very nice article Eric Enge Interviews Google's Matt Cutts regarding Google attitude toward illegitimately use of hidden text.
Have a look at this: https://sites.google.com/site/webmasterhelpforum/en/faq-rich-snippets and search for the word 'tempting'.
' It can be tempting to add all the content relevant for a rich snippet
in one place on the page, mark it up, and then hide the entire block
of text using CSS or other techniques. Don't do this! Mark up the
content where it already exists. Except in special circumstances ... '
It might seem like a clever idea to hide elements in a more complex way than by just display:none but, and i guess the same can be applied for hidden honeypot form fields, you are not the only one who can think of that.
Note: It is as easy to determine if a field is hidden by display:none as it is by margin:0; padding:0; width:1px; height:1px; overflow:hidden or by position:absolute; top:-[a value bigger than the page height]px or by something similar.
People would rich-snippet everything as an Apple product page if it would be ok to hide the snippet and provide any other kind of information on the porn - i mean page.
You got all that information already hanging out on the site, so just add the correct microdata tags to the corresponding text passages and google (other search engines, too by the way) will be happy.
So, for example, if your main page title already exists, put the itemprop="description" tag in the <div> tag thats is wrapping the title and you should be fine.

Two Paragraphs/Divs inline

Hi there I am not sure how to go about a particular problem so here it is.
Without using a Table I would like to display a paragraph with multiply lines of text then have an image on the right.
So far I have tried this:
<div id="container">
<p>
Some Text
Some Text
Some Text
Some Text
</p>
<p>
<img src="image.jpg"/>
</p>
</div>
I use a separate stylesheet
and have tried such things as display inline with no luck.
I will be grateful for any suggestions although I do not want to use a table as I am not a fan of using tables for layout.
Thank you.
You need another set of containers indie your container:
<div style="float:left;width:50%">
<p>...<p/>
</div>
<div style="float:left;width:50%">
<p>...<p/>
</div>
If you may consider using flexbox (which is fairly well supported now : https://caniuse.com/#feat=flexbox )
You just need to make your container a display : flex; (example : https://codepen.io/anon/pen/GvZYwj)
#container {
display: flex;
}
For more infos about flexbox you can start out by reading MDN : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Flexible_Box_Layout/Using_CSS_flexible_boxes.
And if you want to get more about flexbox, there is this amazing tutorial : http://flexboxzombies.com/p/flexbox-zombies
If I understand what you're wanting to do. You could give the tag a class/style and do float:right in the CSS. Which would look like this:
<p style="float:right;"><img src="image.jpg" /></p>
Do yo want text flow around image? If yes then it is something like this:

If you want separate column for image, then it is something like this:

Why is FF3 rendering an <h3> inside an <a> incorrectly?

Take a look at this page in FireFox. Feel free to navigate to any of the top six product categories to see more of the same type of code.
If you are [un]lucky enough to see the glitch, you will see at least one product box expand it's height to epic proportions.
Here is the code:
<div class="product_category">
<a href="../products/dht_1500.php" style="height: 340px;">
<h3>DHT 1500</h3>
(superfluous HTML omitted here)
</a>
</div>
Here is what Firebug reveals:
<div class="product_category">
<a style="height: 340px;" href="../products/dht_1500.php"> </a>
<h3><a _moz-rs-heading="" style="height: 340px;" href="../products/dht_1500.php">DHT 1500</a></h3>
(superfluous HTML omitted here)
<a style="height: 340px;" href="../products/dht_1500.php"> </a>
</div>
You can see FireFox is definitely closing my tags and re-opening them again, and pulling the custom CSS height style along with it, which is resulting in each product box height skyrocketing. Also note that strange _moz-rs-heading="" bit.
I suspect my problem has to do with my using block HTML elements within an inline tag, but I thought I solved that problem by converting the tags to block formatting in my stylesheet:
.product_category a {
display: block;
}
FireFox is playing favorites to my tags. It usually renders the page like I want it, but then every once-in-a-while, it will blow one of my product boxes sky-high, and seemingly at random.
The pages work properly in Internet Explorer and Safari. I have been testing it with FireFox 3.6 on Mac, but have seen the same problem on FireFox for PC.
Having block level elements (h3) inside an inline element (a) is not valid HTML.
Change your block elements to a span and use CSS to style it how you wish.
A similar question with the exact same symptoms was asked a few days back. The solution there was in fact taking the native block elements out of the natively inline ones. Seems changing display doesn't help in this case.
