I notice that when I use bootstrap in my project, some of the classes are applied to my code. Is there a way I can only use the bootstrap classes I want using CDN?
Here's the code:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!-- Latest compiled and minified CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<!-- Latest compiled and minified JavaScript -->
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
Then below I have:
<ul>
<li>Some text here...</li>
</ul>
and when I check the chrome debugger, it inherits properties for ul:
I know I can manually force my own classes to get rid of it, but it would be tedious.
You cannot use bootstrap's CSS from CDN and only apply the styles to certain elements only.
The only way to exclude some styles is to recompile twitter-bootstrap and leave out all styles you don't want, respectively only include the one's you want.
You can download the source here.
Please note that recompiling bootstrap requires a Less compiler.

When I included the Bootstrap style file (bootstrap.min.css), it conflicted with my other styles and menu, which makes the page displays incorrectly. I have found this selector below in the Bootstrap CSS file causes the issue. If I download and store the bootstrap file locally, remove that code block, my page will work correctly. However, I will loss other useful options such as "glyphicon".
*{
-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;
-moz-box-sizing:border-box;
box-sizing:border-box
}
If I include the bootstrap files using CDN like this (which will mess up my page styles because of the above selector *{}), is there a way in my page <style></style> that can remove or disable that block of code above when it loads?

Thanks in advance,
I have checked external css file doesn't work in Flask framework etc. other SO questions and my original Udemy source tutorial, but I still can't seem to get my Flask Boostrap app. to pick up my custom CSS file.
From base.jinja2 HTML template file:
{% include 'html_dependencies.jinja2' %}
</head>
<body>
Entire CSS test file in Source/static/css/style.css:
body {
background-color: yellow;
}
(This is test file, body does not change to yellow currently, therefore my CSS appears not to be loading.. I don't really want a yellow background if any style police reading!)
Complete HTML Dependencies file below code, which is loading the main bootstrap files fine, my custom CSS is last file, with url_for and static format syntax as I understand should be correct. Maybe I got the order wrong or some interference from one of Bootstrap files here? Also, I have problem with Bootstrap collapsed nav menu not functioning when window minimised, not sure if this is same cause, the standard lines in box icon shows for navigation when window is below cutoff width, but nothing happens when I click on it.:

I'm quite a Bootstrap newbie, any suggestions grateful.
I found it is the browser caching that is the problem. On the server this code works fine for me. In both IE and Chrome on my local computer, if I change the custom CSS code, it doesn't pick it up, unless I open code inspector in the browser, click on "Disable cache" option in the code inspector, and keeping code inspector window still open, then reload the localhost website. The below SO question finally sorted me out, and now I am downloading the Chrome extension Cache Killer as per second answer here, otherwise extremely irritating to have to open window and disable cache to check every change in custom CSS! Disabling Chrome cache for website development
I did also fix other mentioned error of collapsed menu issue was due to Bootstrap jQuery import line being below the Bootstrap min.js file. Opening the code inspection in browser showed this error, so moved jQuery line above js line and it loads properly.
Thanks again #senaps pointing me in right direction, confirming to me that posted code itself seems right.
Kind of a newb question. I'm working with Boostrap to create a mobile responsive portfolio. What do you do if you want to make a change to the default Bootstrap classes? Like if I wanted to take the padding off of the class="container"? The links are only connected to the minified version of css and js. So if I make a change to the regular version .css, there's nothing connecting the change. Do I have to change the .min.css version? Should I be able to repeat a class in my own personal css page?(I've tried unsuccessfully) Thanks, any advice would help.
Two methods that I know of:
1) Make edits to the .min.css file, or
2) Add '!Important' to the your personal css, like so:
.testDiv{
font-color: white !Important
}
This will overwrite any classes that have set a font-color for .testDiv
*note: using !important is not a recommended technique, but it gets the job done
You can override the classes in your own CSS file (make sure you import it into your HTML after the original CSS files from bootstrap). Like,
<!-- Latest compiled and minified CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<!-- Optional theme -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css">
<!-- Custom Tweaks to theme (Add your changes to this file) -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/css/style.css">
<!-- Latest compiled and minified JavaScript -->
<script src="path/to/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
However, if you are going to make lots of modifications like that, I suggest you create your own customized version
Meteor compiles the css files into one css file and inserts it as first child of head element in html.
<head>
<!-- meteor inserts my concatenated css file from client folder here -->
<title>page</title>
<link href="/sometheme/theme.css" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- other css files here -->
</head>
I don't want to create a package for the theme assets I am using. I just want to use them directly in the html like above and I want to develop my css in the client folder with a preprocessor.
How can I get meteor to inject the generated css as last element of head rather than first which is default?
Thanks
EDIT:
To clarify further, I want meteor to inject the compiled css as shown below. I could manipulate the DOM and move that link after DOM is ready but it's a hack. Is there an API to configure this?
<head>
<title>page</title>
<link href="/sometheme/theme.css" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- other css files here -->
<!-- I WANT METEOR TO INJECT COMPILED CSS HERE -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" class="__meteor-css__" href="/main.css?da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709">
</head>
You can use #import url; declaration on top of your css file.
main.css
#import '/sometheme/theme.css';
body {
}
This will load /public/sometheme/theme.css before your css
Just place your css theme and meteor will concatenate it into existing css. Meteor have a special way with file order:
HTML template files are always loaded before everything else
Files beginning with main. are loaded last
Files inside any lib/ directory are loaded next
Files with deeper paths are loaded next
Files are then loaded in alphabetical order of the entire path
To achieve your goal, just make sure you the your css is deeper than the theme folder and be aware with the alphabetical ordering
Edit:
If you want to load file from /public, just place <head></head> in one of html file (e.g.: app.html) and reference your stylesheet there.
app.html:
<head>
<link href="/sometheme/theme.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
It will refer /public/sometheme/theme.css
has anyone used Maxmertkit ? They say in documentation that you have to include some css files, but I cant find them in the package i've downloaded. Any idea ?
Sass: Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets, are included.
Download it from github
Sass Installation
Sass Basics
Or if you don't want to do all these, you can convert your sass to css from codepen, just copy your sass in css column and click the eye (shown in image) to compile it in css.
There is new version 1.0.5: http://maxmert.com/start.
You can use CDN to include css (don't forget to change {{version}}):
<!-- Latest compiled and minified CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/maxmertkit/{{version}}/css/maxmertkit.css">
<!-- Latest compiled and minified JavaScript -->
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/maxmertkit/{{version}}/js/maxmertkit.js"></script>
