How can I to create Materialize CSS inputs with the Special features of it, like Placeholders and Icons inside inputs? I want to find a way to create it without using materialize CSS because I am using another CSS framework and I don't want to use more than one framework preventing errors of multiplying frameworks?
Try checking out the materialiseCSS CSS file, and also the corresponding CSS codes for forms/placeholders or any HTML tag, then attach the needed codes to your normal CSS file using either an id or class

I have a marketing tool (Pardot) that I'm using to build forms. It creates its own markup which makes it impossible for me to apply bootstrap classes to form element, although I can create them for surrounding containers (spans/divs).
Is there a way to quickly "alias" default Boostrap classes without writing a ton of duplicate CSS for the 50 or so different form-related classes?
I've already put in some CSS, just duplicating the Boostrap CSS, but that's labor intensive and obviously won't work for Bootstrap's JavaScripts.
I've been working on site using bootstrap. Rather than calling the unedited bootstrap.css and creating a seperate .css file for customisation I added my css changes directly to the bootstrap.css.
My question is - will this cause problems when it comes to using datatables?
Not necesserily. Depends on which classes are used in datatables. You either search in the source of datatables which classes are used or , what i recommend, make your own css, include it after the bootstrap css and change only what you need. For example with the !important markup.
I know I can just have a custom stylesheet that overrides the bootstrap component I wish to customize (for example the jumbotron), but is the right way to go about this "problem"? I don't think this can be done with a bootstrap theme, although I haven't read a whole lot on this subject.
You can use your browsers DevTools to inspect an element that you want to change, and in the Rules/Styles section you can see which CSS elements is it using and then you can create your own css file and paste the CSS there and change it so it overrides bootstraps element. Here is how to get the devtools from Chrome https://developer.chrome.com/devtools#dom-and-styles and from Firefox https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Page_Inspector/How_to/Open_the_Inspector. Don't forget to import your CSS customised script under bootstraps so it overrides the CSS that you wish to change.
Use twitter-bootstrap customize on their website to customize it and download the customized files. Or just create a custom CSS file and edit classes like .jumbotron and other stuff
There are a few ways to modify the default bootstrap css and no one way is inherently more or less "right" than any other. It all depends on the coding style of you and/or your team. Here is a list of a few ways that I came up with off the top of my head:
Modify the css file you downloaded from Bootstrap
(My Choice) Override Bootstrap styles with your own CSS. Just be sure to follow the rules of CSS Specificity (External < Internal < Inline) and if you have trouble getting a certain rule to apply try reading this answer or force it with !important
NOTE: This is likely NOT a comprehensive list, just a starting point.
I am using Primefaces 5.0.I want to use or bootstrap css to Primefaces custom components like List, table, selectOneListbox.
I am to apply css to normal component like button, link etc.
It's possible, but due to reason that a internal structure of Primefaces's components are different from a plain HTML components with which Bootstrap supposed to work you will need to make hard job to accomplish that. You will need to debug every Primefaces component to see its internal structure and change Bootstrap's css file that it will correspond to internal classes of Primefaces's component.
Actually you have three alternatives (maybe more):
Like BalusC mentioned, Primefaces has its own implementation of Bootstrap theme: you can see it here: http://www.primefaces.org/themes IMHO, best option
Use Bootfaces JSF library: http://www.bootsfaces.net/ Pay attention that it's pretty new library and possible buggy. There isn't big community support like for Primefaces library.
Make you own Composite (or Custom) Components with desired structure and styling.
I'm using Twitter Bootstrap right now ver 2.0 and notice that the space is not enough using the 12 column grid.
I think they're using 940px.. so how do I use a custom width without breaking the 12 column grid?
Thanks..
The simplest way would be to customize your own download. Focus on the Grid section.
Alternatively you could edit the LESS or compiled CSS files directly.
You can also create a new stylesheet (or add to an existing one) that simply overrides the values of those variables. This way you don't have to worry about bootstrap updates rewriting your changes. Just make sure you declare the variables after the bootstrap CSS and JS have loaded.
In fact, personally I think that's a better option otherwise you have to remember to re-edit the CSS file every time you install a bootstrap update and this is never a good idea.
This is especially problematic if you're using bootstrap as a gem (say for Rails). That's why I never like overwriting include files directly.
