Twitter Bootstrap 3 layout issue - javascript

I am brand new to Bootstrap 3 and am trying to achieve a header that looks like the following:
As you can see there are several components here:
Logo; left-aligned
Menu items to the right of the logo
Message of the day (MOTD) in the top-right
"Hi, username!", right-aligned
"Envelope" Glyphicon to the left of the Username
"Heart" Glyphicon to the left of the Envelope Glyphicon (in the picture above it is a star but it should be a heart)
Here is my jsFiddle representing my best attempt, and here is the main <body> element of that fiddle:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- Stuff goes here -->
</head>
<body>
<nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="container">
<div class="navbar-header">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Logo</a>
</div>
<div id="navbar" class="collapse navbar-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active">Menu 1 | Menu 2 | Menu 3</li>
<li class="active">This is the message of the day up here!</li>
<li class="active"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-heart"></span></li>
<li class="active"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-envelope"></span></li>
<li class="active">Hi, smeeb!</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
</body>
</html>
When I run this in jsFiddle, nothing is laid out properly and I can't even see most of the <li> elements. Any idea as to where I'm going awry?

Put the class "in" after the class "navbar-collapse" in the div with the id property "navbar".
With the class "in", your navbar will begin visible.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- Stuff goes here -->
</head>
<body>
<nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="container">
<div class="navbar-header">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Logo</a>
</div>
<div id="navbar" class="collapse navbar-collapse in">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active">Menu 1 | Menu 2 | Menu 3</li>
<li class="active">This is the message of the day up here!</li>
<li class="active"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-heart"></span></li>
<li class="active"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-envelope"></span></li>
<li class="active">Hi, smeeb!</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
</body>
</html>

You can use this markup and style it according to your css. Make menus to left and others name and icons to right menu. then seperate the top message and position absolute it to the parent nav bar relative.
<div id="navbar" class="collapse navbar-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active">Menu 1 </li>
<li class="active">Menu 2</li>
<li class="active">Menu </li>
</ul>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li class="active"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-heart"></span></li>
<li class="active"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-envelope"></span></li>
<li class="active">Hi, smeeb!</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>This is the message of the day up here!</div>

Ok, I run the risk of getting down voted here, but from a design perspective you could run into issues with the "quote of the day" in the navbar, especially when on smaller devices as things "scoot in".
Might I suggest having a top bar right above the nav?
<div class="top-bar-wrap">
<div class="container">
<div class="top-bar">
<div class="pull-right"> <!-- This will keep your quote to the right. Just change it to pull-left if if you want it to start from the left. -->
<p>Quote of the day</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Then you will be freed up to have your nav and icons next to the links. Just make sure to add "navbar-right" to your navbar holding your li items. You can add these gliphs in as li items if you'd like, or you can add them following the li with a -- display:inline -- property in your CSS and that should work. ALTHOUGH, might I suggest one more thing?
As a designer first that came to the dark side of development... the icons and code to display the username might also be best served in a bar just below your nav. You can duplicate the code for the "top-bar" section and place it just under your nav.
/* For the topbar above the nav */
.top-bar-wrap {
padding: 6px 0;
background-color: #333; }
.top-bar {
min-height: 20px;
line-height: 20px; }
/* For the bar just below the nav "Member-bar" */
.member-bar-wrap {
padding: 6px 0;
background-color: #333; }
.member-bar {
min-height: 20px;
line-height: 20px; }
<div class="member-bar-wrap">
<div class="container">
<div class="member-bar">
<div class="pull-right">
<!-- Gliphs and code for your member name display -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
That will keep everything nice and tidy... and you won't run into issues for smaller screens.

Open Bootstrap accordion panel from menu bar

my menu put in header.html which will be loaded in all pages.
If I click the menu from index.html, it will open the corresponding accordion panel in product.html by using below js code (which place in the end of product.html markup ).
But if I click the menu from product.html, no respond from the accordion panel.
what wrong with my code?
$(function(){
// check if there is a hash in the url
if ( window.location.hash != '' )
{
// remove any accordion panels that are showing (they have a class of 'in')
$('.collapse').removeClass('in');
// show the panel based on the hash now:
$(window.location.hash + '.collapse').collapse('show');
}
});

How to avoid Logo changing position on resizing of window?

I am working on Bootstrap navbar and after resizing as the hamburger menu shows the logo shifts its position and even overflows the navbar. How can I make the logo responsive so that it changes its size or position as the navbar is resized in the window?
<!-- Navigation Bar -->
<div class="navbar navbar-default" id="navbar-outer">
<div class="container-fluid" style="margin:0px;">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#menu">
<span class=" glyphicon glyphicon-menu-hamburger"></span>
</button>
</div>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">
<img src="../images/LOL_LOGO_NEW-01.png" />
</a>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="menu">
<ul class="navbar navbar-nav" id="navbar-menu">
<li><a href="#" >WHAT WE DO</a></li>
<li>WHO WE ARE</li>
<li>OUR WORK</li>
<li>VENTURES</li>
<li>BLOG</li>
<li>CONNECT</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
Also, along with the answer if you could provide me with the reason as to why it happened then it'll be appreciated as I am still in the learning phase.
Thanks. :)
without resizing it looks normal
look how it overflows on resize
I added some background color so you can easily see the block for each container. The logo will be red, the navbar-header will be yellow, and the navbar-collapse will be green.
navbar-brand has a float: left so it will float to the left of the block, if you have it after navbar-header(which has display:block so it will take the whole width of the screen) block it will just floating left below, you can move it inside navbar-header or move it up outside of container-fluid.
.navbar-brand {
background: red;
float: right;
display: block;
}
.navbar-header {
background: yellow;
}
.navbar-collapse {
background: green;
}

Bootstrap menu bar using Google Translate CSS

I am having a css issue as the width of the screen gets smaller will someone please tell me how to adjust my menu bar. I am using the google translate in my menu bar but the problem I am having is when the screen is full size and as you start moving the screen in to make it smaller the google translate starts to drop down to another level making all other dropdowns on the menu bar not work properly because google translate interferes.
Is there a way to make google translate button stay inline or on the menu bar without dropping to another row?
Or even making the width of the google translate not as wide to see if it will stay on the same line?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can use white-space: nowrap BUT you will need to make sure that it fits in the different break points because, as you requested, it will no longer wrap to fit.
.header-links {
white-space: nowrap;
}
After adding this, simply use your media queries to make adjustments through your different breakpoints to get the look/style you desire. An example of using a media query that makes style adjustments UNDER 860px screen width would be:
#media only screen and (max-width: 859px) {
.header-links li {
padding-right: 2px;
padding-left: 2px;
}
.header-links a {
font-size: 13px;
}
}

Bootstrap collapsed menu not displaying with google map

I have a webpage which has a bootstrap navbar and a google map. navbar is fixed on top and the google map is placed so that to fill the rest of the screen
<div class="container-fluid">

<nav class="navbar navbar-default" role="navigation">

</header>
<div id="main">
<div id="mapcanvas"></div>
</div>

There is no problem with the loading of google maps and the navbar. But when the nav bar is collapsed and I am clicking the toggle button the menu is not getting displayed.
CSS:
html,body {width:100%;height:100%;margin:0;padding:0;}
#mapcanvas {
display: block;
position:absolute;
height:auto;
bottom:0;
top:0;
left:0;
right:0;
margin-top:50px;
}
Bootply : bootply.com/3ejKtiSHkw
i don't know exactly whats the problem, but ive found out theat it seems to be sth. with the css.
adding the navbar-fixed-top-class to your navbar makes the dropdown work. I don't know if thats you required behavior though.
so, to break it down:
<nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top" role="navigation">
makes the dropdowns work in the collapsed navbar.

Bootstrap menu line breaks

I am having some trouble having a 'pull-right' element in a navbar remain on the same line as the menu. I've set it up in a jsfiddle.
Here's the general outline:
<div class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top hidden-print">
<div class="navbar-inner">
<div class="container">
<ul class="nav nav-pills">
<li>....</li>
</ul>
<div class="pull-right">
<ul class="nav pull-right">
<li>....</li>
.... and so on
Ideally the menu items, and user dropdown would be on the same line. The menu bar should have its height determined by the button sizes.
You need to pull-left the list:
<ul class="nav nav-pills pull-left">
