Clear Rows When Doing Multi-responsive Columns - Bootstrap

Question

That title might not be very accurate but here is the situation:

Answer 1

I was looking for a solution as well and since my HTML gets rendered through a CMS I couldn't use the solution of the accepted answer.

So my solution is:

.teaser {
  // break into new line after last element
  > div:last-child {
    clear: right;
  }
}

.teaser {
  // two colums
  @media (min-width: @screen-sm-min) and (max-width: @screen-sm-max) {
    > div:nth-child(2n+1) {
      clear: left;
    }
  }
}

.teaser {
  // three colums
  @media (min-width: @screen-md-min) {
    > div:nth-child(3n+1) {
      clear: left;
    }
  }
}

<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="row teaser">
    <div class="col-sm-6 col-md-4">div1</div>
    <div class="col-sm-6 col-md-4">div2<br>more content</div>
    <div class="col-sm-6 col-md-4">div3</div>
    <div class="col-sm-6 col-md-4">div4</div>
    <div class="col-sm-6 col-md-4">div5<br>more content content<br>content</div>
    <div class="col-sm-6 col-md-4">div6</div>
    <div class="col-sm-6 col-md-4">div7<br>more content</div>
    <div class="col-sm-6 col-md-4">div8</div>
</div>

Hope this helps someone :-)

Looks like the only solution to your problem is to set a min-height or a fixed height to your elements to that there are no inconsistensies that cause your issues.

add this:

.file-row-contain {
  min-height:250px;
}

...set height according to your needs

An .scss fix using bootstrap variables, taken from @jonas and @yog

@mixin row-first-child($col-type) {
  .col-#{$col-type}- {
    &1:nth-child(12n+1),
    &2:nth-child(6n+1),
    &3:nth-child(4n+1),
    &4:nth-child(3n+1),
    &6:nth-child(odd){
      clear: left;
    }
  }
} 

.auto-clear {
  @media (min-width: $screen-lg-min){
    @include row-first-child(lg);
  }
  @media (min-width: $screen-md-min) and (max-width: $screen-md-max){
    @include row-first-child(md);
  }
  @media (min-width: $screen-sm-min) and (max-width: $screen-sm-max){
    @include row-first-child(sm);
  }
  @media (max-width: $screen-xs-max){
    @include row-first-child(xs);
  }
}

Bootstrap 4 introduces hidden-*-up and hidden-*-down classes. Very handy (and elegant) utility for situations such as these.

Available classes

• The .hidden-*-up classes hide the element when the viewport is at the given breakpoint or wider. For example, .hidden-md-up hides an element on medium, large, and extra-large viewports.
• The .hidden-*-down classes hide the element when the viewport is at the given breakpoint or smaller. For example, .hidden-md-down hides an element on extra-small, small, and medium viewports.
• There are no explicit “visible”/”show” responsive utility classes; you make an element visible by simply not hiding it at that breakpoint size.
• You can combine one .hidden-*-up class with one .hidden-*-down class to show an element only on a given interval of screen sizes. For example, .hidden-sm-down.hidden-xl-up shows the element only on medium and large viewports. Using multiple .hidden-*-up classes or multiple .hidden-*-down classes is redundant and pointless.
• These classes don’t attempt to accommodate less common cases where an element’s visibility can’t be expressed as a single contiguous range of viewport breakpoint sizes; you will instead need to use custom CSS in such cases.
