So I came accros this site explaining the functioning of Bootstrap and their grid layout.
Their explaining that you should use a row in a container and a col-... in a row but what I dont know and dont especially get is : Should I use two row in the same container if the col-... are managing their selves ?
I explicite : You have this ↓
<div class="container"> <!-- First Case -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6">col-xs-6</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">col-xs-6</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">col-xs-6</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">col-xs-6</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="container"> <!-- Second Case -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6">col-xs-6</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">col-xs-6</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6">col-xs-6</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">col-xs-6</div>
</div>
</div>
It is completely different still; it is rendering the same exact way..
You can see the result there : Fiddle
So : Which way shall I prefer/use ? and Is there a difference ?
It is important to understand that .row clears the floating columns inside, which you want in case you don't have full control of the height of your contained columns.
See this updated fiddle of yours to understand why the second example you gave is the cleaner way:
https://jsfiddle.net/DTcHh/10739/
Edit: It has to be noted that using an additional row has a harsh drawback: You can no longer decide you want to see more columns next to each other in higher resolutions.
Row class can help you when you do not want make your elements free- flow in your container. Row controls the elements under it and make them keep flowing under the row container. Its a separation for elemets
Find this updated Fiddle of yours.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<!-- free flow under this row -->
<div class="col-xs-6">col-xs-6</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">col-xs-6</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">col-xs-6</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">col-xs-6</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">col-xs-6</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">col-xs-6</div>
</div>

I am having trouble with my css. I am trying to have my contact information, the quote, and my contact form to be in the same row but different columns. And also why is it that my html doesn't all fit on one page, I can scroll to the rigth and there's just empty white space. I figure its because I added -1.23em in my navbars margin; However, I only did this because my navbar was not filling the whole page. Here is a link to my gist and bitballon. Thank you in advance.

You have a .row div in the nested directly under the body on line 103 that is causing the page to spread past 100% width
Bootstrap requires a containing element to wrap site contents and
house our grid system. You may choose one of two containers to use in
your projects. Note that, due to padding and more, neither container
is nestable. bootstrap containers
Regarding the contact info your nesting and class names are not correct, you currently have the following:
<div class="container-fluid" id="contact">
<div class="row">
<div class="column">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-12">
<div id="quote">...</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4 col-md-4">
<div class="contact">...</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<form>
you will need to change this to follow bootstrap3 grid conventions, something like the following:
<div class="container">
<div class="row" id="contact">
<div class="col-sm-4">
<div id="quote">...</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<div class="contact">...</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Sorry for the really confusing title. What I'm trying to do should be quite easy in theory.
I think the best way to demontrate it is by showing you an image:
1 row at the top with 2 columns, and every other column coming after that should be positioned under the second column...
Is this doable?
Thanks
That's what the "offset" classes are for. col-md-offset-1 applied to the elements in the second column (as additional class) should do what you want (for medium viewport size)
(probably you use wider columns with classes like col-md-3 that span three columns of the grid. In this case you'd need col-md-offset-3for the offset)
use col-md-offset-* class
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-offset-6" style="text-align=center;"><p>fixed column</p></div>
<div class="col-md-offset-6" style="text-align=center;"><p>col</p></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-offset-6" style="text-align=center;"></div>
<div class="col-md-offset-6" style="text-align=center;"><p>col</p></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-offset-6" style="text-align=center;"></div>
<div class="col-md-offset-6" style="text-align=center;"><p>col</p></div>
</div>

Bootstrap Grid System - Bootstrap Grid Examples -
Try HTML display : flex for such layout. For example refer below link.
https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox
Try below code snippet.
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span4"><div class="well">1</div></div>
<div class="span8">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span6"><div class="well">2</div></div>
</div>
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span6"><div class="well">3</div></div>
</div>
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span6"><div class="well">4</div></div>
</div>
</div>

Because of inherited html parts when using template engines such as twig (PHP) or jinja2 (python), I may need to nest rows like below:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="row">
</div>
...
<div class="row">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
...
</div>
</div>
Then should I wrap inner rows in column div like below:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12">
<div class="row">
</div>
...
<div class="row">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
...
</div>
</div>
Or should they be wrappered in container again?
You shouldn't wrap the nested rows in .container elements, but you should nest them in columns. Bootstrap's row class has negative left and right margins that are negated by the col-X classes' positive left and right margins. If you nest two row classes without intermediate col-X classes, you get double the negative margins.
This example demonstrates the double negative margins:
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- GOOD! Second "row" wrapped in "col" to negate negative margins. -->
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12" style="background: lime;">
<div class="row">
Here's my text!
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- BAD! Second "row" missing wrapping "col", gets double negative margins -->
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="row" style="background: tomato;">
Where's my text?
</div>
</div>
</div>
For further reading, The Subtle Magic Behind Why the Bootstrap 3 Grid Works explains the column system in great and interesting detai.
You shouldn't wrap them in another container - containers are designed for a typical one-page layout. Unless it would look good / work well with your layout, you may want to look into container-fluid if you really want to do this.
tl;dr don't wrap in another container.
See Bootply for explanation
In my demo above, try to hover on the first box, others get affected. I expect it would be flexible like pinterest layout. I tried overflow and height thing but it doesn't solve my problem.
I wouldn't want to change the markup as it suits my case perfectly.
You'll need to use Bootstrap's column reset element between pairs of boxes, and hide them for mobile:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-6">
<div class="productWrap"></div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6">
<div class="productWrap"></div>
</div>
<!-- Add the extra clearfix for only the required viewport -->
<div class="clearfix hidden-xs-block"></div>
<div class="col-lg-6">
<div class="productWrap"></div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6">
<div class="productWrap"></div>
</div>
...
</div>

As was suggested, rows would also work. To the contrary of your comment above, you can use nested rows and not affect your orange box sidebar.
I've been trying to adapt my website to extra small window sizes with Bootstraps but I didn't found any solution for myself.
I want to shown one column when the window is too small and keep the left version otherwise. At this point, the code is something like:
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3" id="divLeft">
<div class="panel panel-success" id="divChart">
<!-- Some progress bars -->
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-12-offset-6 col-sm-6" id="divMain">
<h2>Observations</h2>
<div class="list-group" id="observations">
<!-- Some panels -->
</div>
</div>
What I have to do? I tried to add multiple classes to my divs divLeft and divMain but it doesn't work as I want.
Thanks in advance fellas! : D
Each row should always add up to 12 columns.
Have a look at the Bootstrap Docs which tell you about how to work with their grid system:
http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid
I'd suggest something like the below for your example:
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-3"></div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-9"></div>
</div>
</div>
The above should result in the two columns displaying one above the other on extra small devices.
