I need help with a CSS code. I run a photography website on wordpress and i have some problems displaying my pictures. There are 2 formats of pictures that are being displayed: landscape (1200 x 800 px) and portrait (595 x 853px). I want to group the tall ones 2 per row because they look so much better. I have about 40-50 images per post.
Is there any way to do this?
I've attached a demo of how i would like to result to be.
Thank you!
You can use a jQuery plugin such as Masonry or Isotope to do this - these are designed to arrange your items in a grid so that they fit nicely.
You will still need to get some HTML and CSS in place before adding the plugin to adjust the positions of the images, so you'll need to work off the plugin documentation or examples (or provide a code snippet).
It depends on how dynamic your posts are. If there's a way for you to know the structure of your HTML + CSS + content before-hand, then you can create a .tall-row class for the tall images and a .long-row class for the long images. And it's basically planning out the layout ahead of time. You can easily do this using traditional CSS, CSS FlexBox (newer), or CSS Grid (newest).
If the order of the images is going to be some-what dynamic (so you don't know when a tall image will render or when a long image will render) you can try CSS Grid'd grid-auto-flow: dense; property, which attempts to calculate the best overall fit for all of it's children. Only if this doesn't work would I suggest using a JS or jQuery plugin.
Here's an example of CSS Grid's grid-auto-flow: dense;

So I have a nasty project in my hand with a lot of bootstrap in it. The thing is, I need to make lock at a certain 1024px and I can't think of how. I'm locking the body at 1024px but bootstrap still changes the layout regarding the width and I can't simply remove all the column classes to use only 1 since it would not adapt itself any more.
What ideas could I use to achieve this?
You can use your own customized Bootstrap css (create one here)
instead of the original/regular one. In the 'Media queries breakpoints' section, just change #screen-xs, #screen-sm, and #screen-md to 1024px and then download the customized version.
Bootstrap is designed to be mobile first and scale up rather than down.
You could reverse this by having a lot of fixed values in your own css file that overrides the bootstrap media queries below 1024. Essentially this would be a lot of work because you would be reversing bootstrap's mobile first design.
This has been already asked on SO, and the steps to make Bootstrap 3 non-responsive are described in the docs. In your case, it sounds like simply using the col-xs-* classes will work as these columns don't stack vertically and "change the layout". From the docs:
For grid layouts, use .col-xs-* classes in addition to, or in place
of, the medium/large ones. Don't worry, the extra-small device grid
scales to all resolutions.

There is a lot of stuff out there on making BS3 non responsive but it all seems to focus on LESS variables. I'm using static CSS though.
http://getbootstrap.com/examples/non-responsive/
http://bigwilliam.com/turn-off-responsive-behavior-for-bootstrap-3/
Steps 1 (remove viewport) and 2 (static container width) are easy enough. But how do I set the media query breakpoints in CSS?
There's an option in Bootstrap to customize your download of Bootstrap CSS to fit your needs. If you press the link customize along Bootstrap's website, it will take you to a page that lists all the components and utilities that come included with the default download of Bootstrap CSS. You can add/remove any of these items to create a version of bootstrap that fits your particular needs.
For you case, remove the following options (Under Common CSS):
Print Media Styles
Responsive Utilities
There is also a section where you can customize and compile the LESS variables into a custom .css file. The one you could consider changing is the Media Query Breakpoints settings, but there are lots of customization options for you to browse through.
Take a look here at Bootstrap/Customize to see all the options you can change, and hopefully that will help!
set minimal width to html or body element, in that way page won't resize if browser width is less than min-width specified. but whole point using bootstrap is to easily develop responsive websites, so you are doing something terribly wrong if you want not responsive bootstrap.
html { min-width: 1000px; }
For e.g. I have 4 thumbnails and 1 large image. When I click on a thumbnail, the larger image changes to that thumbnail picture.
I thought there might be a value to place inside target=""?
I was hoping to use only html/css as I don't know other languages well but any solution would be great I've tried looking everywhere.
A couple of possible solutions:
Pure HTML: Use an <iframe> with a name to contain the larger image, and embed the thumbnail images in <a>s with the appropriate target and href
Pure CSS: Include all 4 pictures, with display: none set, and display: block within a rule with the :target pseudo class, and each with an id. Embed the thumbnail images in <a>s with href=#id.
Then there are of course the Javascript/jQuery solutions.
This will give you the answer you need. There is some JavaScript but it's very basic.
Simple Image Swap
I'm using twitter bootstrap to create a website for desktops and mobile phones. I want the login form to be centered both in the x direction and in the y direction.
So if the grid was 100 x 100, then the form would be at 50,50.
I'm able to get the form somewhat to the center of the screen in firefox using text-align: center; but firefox puts it a bit off to the right.
What can I do to get to the center?
Here is my HTML
Here is my bootstrap.css
Try using margin:auto; on the <div> that contains the form.
That's an awful lot of nested div tags in there, though I know it's partly Bootstrap's fault! One thing I would stress is to make use of the ones that you already have to use with Bootstrap rather than adding new ones to change positioning, because that will create lots of headaches.
After playing with this, I didn't come up with a definite solution, but here's what I think:
Read up on CSS media queries... this will make the solution to your
desktop > mobile problem much easier!
Don't use CSS for a vertical alignment. Divs aren't table cells
and can't really act like them. A small JavaScript that sniffs out
the width of the screen and does the positioning math is better. A
quick Google search will bring up plenty.
I am just trying to achieve the following CSS layout using 960 GS. Pretty much an newspaper article kind of layout. I am finding some problem with positioning.
I am using for your kind info
$ninesixty-grid-width: 978px;
$ninesixty-columns:12;
$ninesixty-gutter-width: 0px;
$ninesixty-class-separator: "-";
I could not achieve the newspaper kind of layout with the image inside the text. Please guide me out some links or pointers or code to achieve this. Let me know if you need futher info
You didn't say if you already had the grid or not, but anyway if you go to - grid generator site and enter the settings:
Firstly wrap the whole page in a container-12 then I would use the following classes on your divs for the layout:
NOTE:
I think you will need to put both elements in the first grid-6 to avoid a float issue. Other things to consider is that you don't have a gutter so elements will be tight up to each other. I would suggest amending the settings and adding a gutter.
Usually I would not add padding to the grid elements as that means you would need to edit the widths and that goes against the grid system.
