In a project that use 300 or more small icons which is a better method or is there any difference if you load the icons directly from the url in a folder or adding them in resource file and then use them in the project.
Using a resources way a size of an executable is bigger and you cannot change icons without recompiling the source code. But you may be sure that all the icons are in place.
And vice versa for the url/folder approach.
First time using bootstrap. I added "bootstrap":"3.3.7" to my dependencies in my bower.json file and it adds to my wwwroot/lib folder but I know it's supposed to include a fonts folder in the bootstrap directory, but it's not there. I tried downloading the bootstrap.zip file from their website, extracting that file and then adding the fonts folder included in that download to my bootstrap directory, but it still didn't work. I've tried looking in bootstrap.css file for the #font-face for glyphicons but there are none. I am just learning how to implement everything into an ASP.Net Core app so I'm new to these technologies.
I think the #font-face is defined in fontawesome. Also, unless you have at least one html element using the font, it will not be requested. So you need to use the font in a style rule (the #font-face doesn't count).
Therefore, download fontawesome and then add an element to your html and then the font will be requested. An element like this for example:
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-asterisk"></span>
I'm creating a site based on AdminLTE (v 2.3.0), a open source control panel template that uses bootstrap (v 3.3.5).
When I load my page in Google Chrome (v 48.0.2564.97 m) and use the developer tool (F12) in sources I notice that my content folder has a subfolder called less.
It is like:
Content/
├──less/
| ├──...
| ├──table.less
| └──...
The "..." means other files.
But here's the deal: I don't have any those files in my server and this table.less is generating problem to me.
So I did a test. One by one I remove the js and css files that I had referenced.
I discovered that when I add the bootstrap.css file this folder with all files appears.
Now my questions are:
Why this is happened?
How can I avoid it?
And if I can't how can I make my css file has priority above the less files?
PS:
I asked the 3rd question because normally the last css file to be add has priority when some property is overloaded. But in my case my last file is site.css, this file has definitions for tables, but when I open the page the properties of table.less has priority above my file and this is causing me problems.
You probably have a file called bootstrap.min.css.map or bootstrap.css.map next to the bootstrap css file. It's function is to reference the original source files and line numbers in your browser's developer tool section for each directive coming from your css file. If it were not there, you would always see bootstrap.css line 1 next to each css directive, which would not be very informative, this way you see the actual source structure that generated the css. It's all virtual, the less files are not there.
jsDelivr ( http://jsdelivr.com ) has Multiple File mode:
https://github.com/jsdelivr/jsdelivr#load-multiple-files-with-single-http-request
Problem is, libraries with CSS such as Gritter and Font Awesome use images in their interface components.
This leads to 404 errors when doing something like this:
//cdn.jsdelivr.net/g/jquery#2.1.0,bootstrap#3.1.1,summernote#0.5.0,mousewheel#3.1.6,jquery.timeago#1.3.0,jquery.gritter#1.7.4,jquery.unveiljs#1.0,jquery.waypoints#2.0.2,bootstrap.tagsinput#0.3.9,bootstrap.datepicker-fork#1.3.0,jquery.jqote2#0.9.8,portal#1.1.1
How can we use multiple libraries off the one CDN pageload, but change the paths CSS files reference to use the appropriate jsDeliver.net URI?
Is this a job for post-processing CSS in-browser, by jQuery or pure JavaScript, or is one forever doomed to one CDN pageload per CSS file referencing images, plus one remaining pageload for the CDN served CSS without image references?
Yes, unfortunately /g/ does not work with files that contain relative paths.
You can load this kind of files individually and use /g/ for the rest of them normally.
I am migrating from bootstrap 2.3 to bootstrap 3 and everything works well. But when I tried to add some icons, the icon font doesn't displayed properly. I tried to look over here http://bootply.com/61521 and only '.glyphicon-envelope' was being displayed properly. Others have displayed like 'E001' and so on.
How can I be able to solve this problem?
For other browsers, glyphicons are displayed properly, only firefox was unables to display it properly.
Did you choose the customized version of Bootstrap? There is an issue that the font files included in the customized package are broken (see https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/9925). If you do not want to use the CDN, you have to download them manually and replace your own fonts with the downloaded ones:
https://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg
https://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff
https://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf
https://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot
After that try a strong reload (CTRL + F5), hope it helps.
the icons and the css are now seperated out from bootstrap. here is a fiddle that is from another stackoverflow answer
#import url("//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0-rc2/css/bootstrap-glyphicons.css");

Bootstrap 3 Glyphicons CDN
OK, my problem was not answered by the above. I had the fonts folder at the same location as the bootstrap css and js folders (eg /theme/bootstrap3/..), but it was looking for the font folder in the root (eg /fonts/glyph.. .woff)
The solution for me was to set the #icon-font-path variable to the correct relative path:
Eg #icon-font-path: "fonts/";
Here's the fix that worked for me. Firefox has a file origin policy that causes this. To fix do the following steps:
open about:config in firefox
Find security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy property and change it from ‘true’ to ‘false.’
Voial! you are good to go!

You will only see this issue when accessing a file using file:/// protocol
I had the same problem using a local apache server. This solved my problem:

For Amazon s3 you need to edit your CORS configuration:
<CORSConfiguration>
<CORSRule>
<AllowedOrigin>*</AllowedOrigin>
<AllowedMethod>GET</AllowedMethod>
<MaxAgeSeconds>3000</MaxAgeSeconds>
<AllowedHeader>Authorization</AllowedHeader>
</CORSRule>
</CORSConfiguration>
First of all, I try to install the glyphicons fonts by the "oficial" way, with the zip file. I could not do it.
This is my step-by-step solution:
Go to the web page of Bootstrap and then to the "Components"
section.
Open the browser console. In Chrome, Ctrl+Shift+C.
In section Resources, inside Frames/getbootstrap.com/Fonts you will
find the font that actually is running the glyphicons. It's
recommended to use the private mode to evade cache.
With URL of
the font file (right-click on the file showed on resources list),
copy it in a new tab, and press ENTER. This will download the font
file.
Copy another time the URL in a tab and change the font
extension to eot, ttf, svg or woff, ass you like.
However, for a more easy acces, this is the link of the woff file.
http://getbootstrap.com/dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff
I ended up switching to Font-Awesome Icons. They are just as good if not better, and all you need to do is link in the font, happy days.
make sure the name of the folder that contains the font name is "fonts" not "font"
you can use tag like this:
<i class="fa fa-edit"></i>
Just in case :
For example, I just tryed <span class="icones glyphicon glyphicon-pen">
and after one hour i realized that this icon was not included in the bootstrap pack !! While the enveloppe icon was working fine..
Hope this helps
As others have noted, there are some issues with the customizer.
I was having troubles with the glyphicons not showing either, as well as issues with the navbar layout.
I used the suggestion and uploaded the fonts from the full zip/overwrote the ones from the customized version and that fixed the icons issues.
I also pulled in the CDN CSS and javascript instead of my local copy from the CDN. This fixed my navbar issues.
So I recommend until you get the hang of Bootstrap, not to use the customized version since you might get some frustrating, unwanted results.
For me placing my fonts folder as per location specified in bootstrap.css solved the problem
Mostly its fonts folder should be in parent directory of bootstrap.css file .
I faced this problem , and researching many answers , if anyone still in 2015 faces this problem then its either a CSS problem , or location mismatch for files .
The bug has already been solved by bootstrap
This is the official documentation supporting the above answers.
Changing the icon font location
Bootstrap assumes icon font files will be located in the ../fonts/ directory, relative to the compiled CSS files. Moving or renaming those font files means updating the CSS in one of three ways:
Change the #icon-font-path and/or #icon-font-name variables in the source Less files.
Utilize the relative URLs option provided by the Less compiler.
Change the url() paths in the compiled CSS.
Use whatever option best suits your specific development setup.
Other than this one mistake the new users would do is, after downloading the bootstrap zip from the official website. They would tend to skip the fonts folder for copying in their dev setup. So missing fonts folder can also lead to this problem
Try using CDN
Try setting Access-Control-Allow-Origin HTTP Header
