Allow a span to overflow row in twitter bootstrap - css

I am looking to do something with my layout where my sidebar overflows a background change.
You can see in the jsfiddle here what I have currently. I am sure I just have things written in my following html out of order. I want the darker gray to show directly below the recent posts pictures but allow the sidebar to expand down into it. I can not just use a background image to do this because the length of the lighter content will change on other wordpress template pages.
Here is the code I currently have
<div id="main-content-container">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div id="main-content" class="span9">
<div class="row">
<div id="featured-article" class="span9"><img src="http://placehold.it/715x340" /></div>
</div>
<div id="recent-posts" class="row">
<div class="span9">
<div class="row">
<div class="span9">

<div id="extra-body-container">
This part should fall right under the recent posts pictures and allow the sidebar to overflow on top of it.
</div>
I have tried to set a float on the sidebar but that did not work. I am not sure if the way I have my html will allow me to do this or not with only modifying my css.

the row above the extra-body-container try setting it to margin-left: -100% along w/ the body-bg.png then on the extra-body-contain put the margin-left to 50% and the width to 100%

Hope this helps or at least gets you in the right direction.

looks like (as you said) you just had a couple things out of order
Here is a revised fiddle.
http://jsfiddle.net/3sBkk/1/
and really it was just a matter of moving your content into the main wrapping element, and creating a row out of it, adjusting the span to 12, and setting the z-order of sidebar to ensure it overlaps.
I'm not exactly sure how to include the code here but here is the culprit.
<div id="recent-posts" class="row">
<div class="span9">
<div class="row">
<div class="span9">
<h1>Recent Posts</h1>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="span3">
<img src="http://placehold.it/220" />
</div>
<div class="span3">
<img src="http://placehold.it/220" />
</div>
<div class="span3">
<img src="http://placehold.it/220" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div id="extra-body-container" class="span12">This part should fall right under the recent posts pictures and allow the sidebar to overflow on top of it.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
EDIT: To achieve both the overlapping sidebar and the 100% width you're going to have to get kind of hacky with your css, and I don't necessarily endorse it, but is it possible, sure, anything is possible.

How to align my multiple collapsible Bootstrap panels nicely?

I want to display a list via "collapsible bootstrap panels" but I notice when I open certain panels they do not align properly.
E.g. when I open the first panel in the code all other panels move under each other under the second panel.
I want panel 3 and 4 to stay on their place in their grid when I open panel 1.
What am I doing wrong?

Bootstrap offsetting columns that are not central

This is my first time using Bootstrap and I have some problems trying to get my content central.
I want to contain the content width, but allow the background colours to flow the full width of the page. I have tried to offset columns, however this just results in uneven spacing either side of the content.
My current markup is here:

<div class="container-fluid">

In Bulma, you have got the class .is-flex to achieve the same.
I know it's a bit late, but maybe someone who looks for similar solution will find my answer helpful.
You can use Bulma's Tile system to get something that will behave like equal height columns.
<div class="tile is-ancestor">
<div class="tile is-horizontal">
<div class="tile is-parent">
<div class="tile is-child">
<!--Content here-->
</div>
</div>
<div class="tile is-parent">
<div class="tile is-child box">
<!--Content here-->
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
No additional css needed. You can also specify horizontal size of columns using is-1 - is-12 classes.

This did the trick for me.
<div class="column">
<section class="section1">
...
</section>
</div>
.section1 {
height: 100%;
}
This works fine for me with this code:
<div class="columns">
<div class="column my-class">
one thing
</div>
<div class="column my-class">
many other <br><br><br> etc. things
</div>
</div>
<style>
.column.my-class {
display: inline-flex;
}
.column.my-class > div {
width: 100%; // only Edge needed this nonsense
}
</style>
Worked in Chrome 61.0.3163.100 (of course), Edge 40.15063.674.0, Firefox 57.0.
align-items: stretch http://cssreference.io/flexbox/
.columns {
flex-wrap: wrap;
align-items: stretch;
}
Ref: https://github.com/jgthms/bulma/issues/696
I noticed that making .column as flex broke the layout.
I solved with the following CSS rule, this way I can use the class .is-equal-height if I want aligned columns.
.columns.is-equal-height > .column > * {
height: 100% !important;
}

JS:
$(function() {
$('#show-sidebar').click(function() {
$('#show-sidebar').hide();
$('.menu.sidebar').sidebar('toggle');
});
$('#hide-sidebar').click(function() {
$('#show-sidebar').show();
$('.menu.sidebar').sidebar('toggle');
});
});
It doesnt really do anything, my sidebar is not showing up, not doing anything.

Using empty divs in grid systems

I'm using the 1140 grid system and have a basic question: Do you need to use empty divs as "spacers" if you want an element to be less than 12 cols wide?
Here's the mockup I'm looking to achieve:
Basically, I want to footer to be only underneath the primary area, but in its own row. The only way I can see to do this is to use a div as a "spacer" to indent the footer to where I want it. Is this how its done?
Here's the code (you'll need to make the preview screen large to see what's going on): http://jsfiddle.net/saltcod/87DZC/

<h1 class="site-title">Site Title</h1>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div id="sidebar" class="threecol">
<h4> Sidebar - Three cols</h4>

<li> Item one</li>
<li> Item two</li>
<li> Item three</li>
<li> Item four</li>
<li> Item five</li>

<h2> If I want three blocks inside #primary, that's easy: </h2>

<footer class="row twelvecol">

Yes essentially the div will create the space you intended it to make. When using CSS grid frameworks, it's common to use empty divs with the appropriate column class in order to space things accordingly. Of course you can come up with alternate solutions involving relative positioning, etc, but why complicate matters. The last bit of code should look something like this.
<footer class="row twelvecol">
<div class="threecol first"></div>
<div class="threecol bottom">A</div>
<div class="threecol bottom">B</div>
<div class="threecol bottom last">C</div>
</footer>
