Can I give the col-md-1.5 in bootstrap?

I want to adjust the columns in Twitter Boοtstrap.

I know in bootstrap there are 12 columns grid. Is there any way to manipulate the grids to have 1.5 3.5 3.5 3.5 instead of 3 3 3 3?


Solution 1:

You cloud also simply override the width of the Column...

<div class="col-md-1" style="width: 12.499999995%"></div>

Since col-md-1 is of width 8.33333333%; simply multiply 8.33333333 * 1.5 and set it as your width.

in bootstrap 4, you will have to override flex and max-width property too:

<div class="col-md-1" style="width: 12.499999995%;
    flex: 0 0 12.499%;max-width: 12.499%;"></div>

Solution 2:

As @bodi0 correctly said, it is not possible. You either have to extent Bootstrap's grid system (you can search and find various solutions, here is a 7-column example) or use nested rows e.g. http://bootply.com/dd50he9tGe.

In the case of nested rows you might not always get the exact result but a similar one

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-lg-5">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-lg-4">1.67 (close to 1.5)</div>
            <div class="col-lg-8">3.33 (close to 3.5)</div>
        </div>    
    </div>
    <div class="col-lg-7">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-lg-6">3.5</div>
            <div class="col-lg-6">3.5</div>
        </div>    
    </div>
</div>

Solution 3:

The short answer is no (technically you can give whatever name of the class you want, but this will have no effect, unless you define your own CSS class - and remember - no dots in the class selector). The long answer is again no, because Bootstrap includes a responsive, mobile first fluid grid system that appropriately scales up to 12 columns as the device or view port size increases.

Rows must be placed within a .container (fixed-width) or .container-fluid (full-width) for proper alignment and padding.

  • Use rows to create horizontal groups of columns.
  • Content should be placed within columns, and only columns may be immediate children of rows.
  • Predefined grid classes like .row and .col-xs-4 are available for quickly making grid layouts. Less mixins can also be used for more semantic layouts.
  • Columns create gutters (gaps between column content) via padding. That padding is offset in rows for the first and last column via negative margin on .rows.
  • Grid columns are created by specifying the number of twelve available columns you wish to span. For example, three equal columns would use three .col-xs-4.
  • If more than 12 columns are placed within a single row, each group of extra columns will, as one unit, wrap onto a new line.
  • Grid classes apply to devices with screen widths greater than or equal to the breakpoint sizes, and override grid classes targeted at smaller devices. Therefore, e.g. applying any .col-md-* class to an element will not only affect its styling on medium devices but also on large devices if a .col-lg-* class is not present.

A possible solution to your problem is to define your own CSS class with desired width, let's say .col-half{width:XXXem !important} then add this class to elements you want along with original Bootstrap CSS classes.

Solution 4:

Bootstrap 4 uses flex-box and you can create your own column definitions

This is close to a 1.5, tweak to your own needs.

.col-1-5 {
    flex: 0 0 12.3%;
    max-width: 12.3%;
    position: relative;
    width: 100%;
    padding-right: 15px;
    padding-left: 15px;
}
