Bootstrap columns in mobile version - css

Question

I'm using bootstrap to make a website, but it's something is wrong.
I want to make 2 rows and 3 columns and when the screen changes to mobile, I want it to be 3 rows and 2 columns.
Desktop
|A| |B| |C|
|D| |E| |F|
Mobile
|A| |B|
|C| |D|
|E| |F|
I used the code below to do it, but the images don't stay like I want it to.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4 col-md-4">Content</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4 col-md-4">Content</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4 col-md-4">Content</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4 col-md-4">Content</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4 col-md-4">Content</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4 col-md-4">Content</div>
</div>
The images stay like this
|A| |B|
|C|
|D| |E|
|F|
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

4 columns on desktop and 2 columns on mobile:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-3 col-6 m-auto"></div>
<div class="col-sm-3 col-6 m-auto"></div>
<div class="col-sm-3 col-6 m-auto"></div>
<div class="col-sm-3 col-6 m-auto"></div>
</div>
May need to add class fluid to image object to keep the image responsive within div.

I have run into this problem before. The issue has been that my content is different heights. Because Bootstrap uses floats to arrange it's columns your column C cannot float all the way to the left if your column A is taller than column B.
I have included a link to a codepen so you can see it in action. The top two rows are exactly your code above while the bottom two rows show a div with a different height than the other divs.
http://codepen.io/egerrard/pen/PGRQYK
The solution for you will be to set the height of your divs to the max height for all your content. Something like
.maxHeightDiv {
height: 200px;
}
You'll probably have to set heights for different window widths. It can be a little annoying but this is a caveat of the bootstrap float system.

I am using Stacked to Horizontal & Mix and Match in Boostrap.
1. Stacked to Horizontal
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-8">col-sm-8</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">col-sm-4</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm">col-sm</div>
<div class="col-sm">col-sm</div>
<div class="col-sm">col-sm</div>
</div>
Desktop View:
Mobile View:
2. Mix and Match
<!-- Stack the columns on mobile by making one full-width and the other half-width -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12 col-md-8">.col-12 .col-md-8</div>
<div class="col-6 col-md-4">.col-6 .col-md-4</div>
</div>
<!-- Columns start at 50% wide on mobile and bump up to 33.3% wide on desktop -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-6 col-md-4">.col-6 .col-md-4</div>
<div class="col-6 col-md-4">.col-6 .col-md-4</div>
<div class="col-6 col-md-4">.col-6 .col-md-4</div>
</div>
<!-- Columns are always 50% wide, on mobile and desktop -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-6">.col-6</div>
<div class="col-6">.col-6</div>
</div>
Desktop View:
Mobile View:

Even though this is old maybe it helps some of you.
My way is more code than probably necessary but I couldn't came up with a bootstrap grid system solution that provides different column and row changes in combination with screen width changes.
So lets start:
Switching to .scss and implement bootstrap responsive functions
Include a parent div which acts as a view toggle container for your bootstrap gird system
Usage of display: none !important and display: inline !important for the divs
A hint, set the width of the image class to max-widht: 100%;, it will force the images to take as much place as they can without exceeding its parent width; unless you want different unique sizes of course
.scss: (check your bootstrap css version )
$stageZero: 540px;
$stageOneLower: 719px;
$stageOneHigher: 720px;
$stageTwoLower: 959px;
$stageTwoHigher: 960px;
$stageThree: 1140px;
#mixin stage00 {
#media (max-width: $stageZero) { #content; }
}
#mixin stage01 {
#media (min-width:$stageOneLower) and (max-width:$stageOneHigher) { #content; }
}
#mixin stage02 {
#media (min-width:$stageTwoLower) and (max-width:$stageTwoHigher) { #content; }
}
#mixin stage03 {
#media (min-width: $stageThree) { #content; }
}
.mobileViewToggle {
#include stage00 {display: inline !important;}
#include stage01 {display: none !important;}
#include stage02 {display: none !important;}
#include stage03 {display: none !important;}
}
.desktopViewToggle {
#include stage00 {display: none !important;}
#include stage01 {display: inline !important;}
#include stage02 {display: inline !important;}
#include stage03 {display: inline !important;}
}
.html:
<div class="mobileViewToggle">
< Bootstrap Grid Code with xs prefix, e.g. col-xs-4>
</div>
<div class="desktopViewToggle">
< Bootstrap Grid Code with sm prefix, e.g. col-sm-6>
</div>

Answer 5

You can use the below class as shown...
col-xs-2 - will be two columns only on xs devices-(mobile)
col-md-3 - will be 3 columns on all devices other the mobile
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-2 col-md-3">Content</div>
....
</div>
You cannot change the rows however without using js.
Moreover,on mobile,does it really matters... ?
