Issues integrating Kendo into my application - kendo-ui

I have having difficulties getting Kendo UI Map (JavaScript) to work in my application.
I am seeing the containing div load (it has defined width and height). However I only see the map controls appear on in the div and I do not see the map display at all.
I suspect it has something to do with the stylesheets no loading correctly.
I am not getting any javascript errors.
I verified that my kendo.common.min.css and kendo.default.min.css gets loaded before jquery does.
One caveat is that we are bundling our files. However I am not bundling the kendo css files. I added a link references on my given page.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../../../Content/Css/Shared/kendocss/kendo.common.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../../../Content/Css/Shared/kendocss/kendo.default.min.css" />
The other css files that the application use are bundled as well as jquery and all of the javascript files (kendo js files included).

Kendo UI Grid - Where to look for fonts and icons

I'm in the early stages of learning Kendo UI. I've got the grid work and loading data but none of the images/icons that should appear in the grid are appearing. When I load the page containing the grid, I get the following 404 errors. The error message doesn't tell me where it's expecting to find these files.
Where is Kendo UI looking for these files? Or, can I tell Kendo where to look for them?
I currently have the files located here in my MVC folder structure, but it's not finding them:
The fonts and icons should be located under the content\kendo\{your kendo version}\ (assuming you are creating an MVC.net site based on the tag (see image below)
if this is missing then try running the upgrade wizard in visual studio (assuming you are using visual studio here) or just include the files you require from your distribution.
can you also check you have included the required css links within your site (please note I am using the bootstrap theme here so alter to work with your theme as required):
<link href="#Url.Content("~/Content/kendo/2017.1.118/kendo.common-bootstrap.min.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="#Url.Content("~/Content/kendo/2017.1.118/kendo.mobile.all.min.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="#Url.Content("~/Content/kendo/2017.1.118/kendo.dataviz.min.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="#Url.Content("~/Content/kendo/2017.1.118/kendo.bootstrap.min.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="#Url.Content("~/Content/kendo/2017.1.118/kendo.dataviz.bootstrap.min.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
if this is set up correctly just make sure the fonts etc are set to "content" for the 'Build Action'
Check to make sure that the version in your direction matches the version of the kendo.mvc.dll in your bin folder. It has to match your assembly version.
I found this out when I upgraded. Somehow my project was not pointing to the correct assembly.

How to add Semantic-UI LESS to Codeigniter 3.x

I want to know how to use Semantic-UI to codeigniter 3.x as frontend framework.
I want to use LESS and not css. thanks
First, it is important to understand that LESS is a CSS pre-compiler that extends the CSS language with features that allows creation of CSS that is more maintainable, themeable and extendable. But ultimately it creates CSS files that are used exactly the same as any other CSS file in a website.
In CodeIgniter you use Semantic-UI created assets the same way as any other CSS (or javascript) files by using a <link> tag.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="semantic/dist/semantic.min.css">
<script src="semantic/dist/semantic.min.js"></script>
The CSS classes are used in "view" files exactly the same way any other CSS defined class. For instance, the following would put a button styled by Semantic-UI into a CodeIgniter "view" file.
<button class="ui button">Follow</button>
So, the short answer to your question is that you use Semantic-UI in CodeIgniter the same way any other frontend framework that produces CSS and Javascript.
How to use the tools required to customize Semantic-UI is way beyond the scope of what is a "good" question on Stackoverflow.
If you want to customize and build your own version of the UI, you have a steep learning curve ahead. You can start your learning on Semantic-UI's Getting Started page and on the Learn Semantic website.
I have done Semantic UI integration on my CodeIgniter based application starter: https://github.com/ivantcholakov/starter-public-edition-4
For compilation of your own visual themes you need to install locally on your development machine node.js, less.js, postcss/cssnano, they should be able to start from command line.
See the configuration file platform/common/config/less_compile.php there you can define by example your own visual theme. Also, have a look at the already created themes, you will see how to add your common Semantic UI customizations and your theme-specific styles.
add css link in your header and js in your footer
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/semantic-ui/2.3.3/semantic.min.css">
<script type="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/semantic-ui/2.3.3/semantic.min.js"></script>

Creating a WebSite from Visual Studios and utilizing bootstrap

I have a website i am trying to build more for experience and practice. but i cant seem to get the nav bar to promperly show i dont know if i am referencing it correctly in the html file and also i dont know if my file structure is what it should be. any insight and help would be awesome.
I have seen where the .navbar methods are and they seems to be in the bootstrap.min.css file and i have changed and tried everyone of them to see if the bootstrap navbar will show.
It's hard to get the context that I would need just from the image that you posted but I see 2 things. you didn't include bootstrap CSS but you did include the theme. Refer to this SO post for the difference: What is the difference between bootstrap.css and bootstrap-theme.css?
As shown on the getting started page of bootstrap, your index page should have the following entrie
<!-- Latest compiled and minified CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-BVYiiSIFeK1dGmJRAkycuHAHRg32OmUcww7on3RYdg4Va+PmSTsz/K68vbdEjh4u" crossorigin="anonymous">
<!-- Optional theme -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css" integrity="sha384-rHyoN1iRsVXV4nD0JutlnGaslCJuC7uwjduW9SVrLvRYooPp2bWYgmgJQIXwl/Sp" crossorigin="anonymous">
I also noticed that you are missing the start to your body tag but you have the closing for it. The browser will try to help you on this one but you should fix it to rule it out.
Just by looking and your image I can see there is an HTML error.
Your nav must be in the body tag.
The head tag must only include scripts, style sheets, meta tags and anything that is not "visible" for the user. The body tag contains everything else. Good luck!

Kendo UI Core - Bootstrap Stylesheets

I downloaded Kendo UI Core from Telerik website, and I want to make use of the Boostrap theme for my widgets, but however theres three bootstrap stylesheets to choose from: kendo.bootstrap.min.css, kendo.common-bootstrap.core.min.css and kendo.common-bootstrap.min.css. I'll be using datepicker, input masks and dropdowns. Which one should I use? Thanks.
I'm pretty sure that kendo.common-bootstrap.core.min only includes styling for the free widgets (Kendo UI Core) and kendo.common-bootstrap.min includes styling for all the free widgets and the paid widgets (Kendo UI Pro).
If you aren't using any of the "Pro" widgets, then you could use the .core. file.
You also need to add the kendo bootstrap theme.
Overall, you should have something like:
<link href="bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="kendo.common-bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="kendo.bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
Those 3 files are:
Actual bootstrap styling.
Kendo Bootstrap sizing and layout
Kendo Bootstrap theme

Kendo DataViz Widgets and UI Widgets on the same page

Is it possible to have Kendo UI widgets + DataViz widgets on the same page?
I wanted to have Grid(Popup Editing, Inline Editing etc.), Slider, AutoComplete, Rich Text Field and a Scatter Chart on the same page.
I have downloaded the latest trial package - kendoui.trial.2012.3.1114
I have added the files as below..
<link href="../../content/shared/styles/examples-offline.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="../../../styles/kendo.common.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="../../../styles/kendo.default.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="../../../js/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="../../../js/kendo.web.min.js"></script>
<script src="../../content/shared/js/console.js"></script>
<script src="../../../js/kendo.dataviz.min.js"></script>
But on adding "kendo.dataviz.min.js", other widgets seems to misbehave.
How to overcome this and have both UI widgets and DataViz widgets on the same page..???
I have used both UI widgets and dataviz widgets on the same page and faced no issue.
On a side note,Instead of including "kendo.web.min.js" & "kendo.dataviz.min.js" files, you can include "kendo.all.min.js" file alone that includes code for both UI widgets and dataviz widgets.
You can use "jsfiddle.net" to show your example that will help others in suggesting the root cause.
