CB colorpicker field ?

hello

I wondering if you plan to make a CB field (Incubator?) for allow users to choose a color using a colorpicker maybe based on Jquery.

This seem not a big deal but I'm not a coder and I don't know from where to start. I found a great example here:

www.eyecon.ro/colorpicker/#about

My goals would be to get the hex value of users color choice for change color/apperance (using auto-action and sql query) of some third party component.

Any clue ??

thank

It's certainly possible, but I had no plans to make such a field. You're welcome to review existing fieldtype plugins and develop such a field your self (or hire someone from sites like joomlancers). Alternative is to use a drop-down select and supply various colors manually instead of providing them with a color picker.

The single select drop-down can be a solution but how I can do for make colored each color option? Using css probably...??

For example if I want provide 3 color choice like:

ff0000
0000ff
cccccc

...I must insert each hex value inside each CB field option... Then each of those option must be colored with his corresponding color. Have you a css sample to give me please ?

In case I tried to develop my own ColorPicked CB field Type, if I'm not wrong CB use already by default Jquery. It is correct? That mean is not necessary to include this css librairy again but need to connect to it ? Any clue about ?

Be easier to just put "Red", "Blue", "Green", etc..

CB gives each option a unique ID. You'll need to use Firebug for Firefox to inspect the drop down to see what the ID of its options are. Example as follow.

No idea what you're asking about, sorry. Yes, CB uses jQuery and already has a jQuery library. It is only included if CB API calls it, but you can use CB Auto Actions to add custom jQuery to the header.

I need also to set a colorpicker field and came to this extension
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/tools/design-tools/15869
or this one
vm.xmlswf.com/joomla-modules/admin-plugins/joomla-admin-color-picker

Is there any way to include the js libraries in order to make it a CB field ?

This would solve a lot of things instead of using the plugin everywhere with a delimiter field

Could you hint ?

Make a new fieldtyoe plugin as suggested in this topic already.
