field-type 'colorpicker'?

hi there,

what would be the best starting point to create a custom field of type 'colorpicker'?
(for example like this: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href=" yui.github.io/yui2/docs/yui_2.9.0_full/d...sets/colorpicker.jpg "> yui.github.io/yui2/docs/yui_2.9 . ... picker.jpg)

thanks for any advice!

Hello

it maybe possible, with some JQuery JS to append these to a FC text field

without need to create a new field



Now about FLEXIcontent having this field
- in general such a field should be easy to create, one solution would be add this to text field,

but then
1. because we may want extra functionality (parameters),
2. because showing the color in frontend, will be complex of in-experienced users by using prefix/suffix etc parameters

so maybe it would be better to have a dedicated field

now it is not available, but rather easy to implement

Hello

i think you can use colorpicker without creating any new field
e.g. you can use this:


belelros.github.io/jQuery-ColorPicker/



-- just add some custom JS in the item form to attach the color picker to text field with e.g. ID 28 :



1. Add this to your index.php of your Joomla template:
(download place in appropriate folders)

<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" type="text/css" href="css/colorpicker.css" />
<script src="js/colorpicker.js"></script>



2. in the JS parameter of item form (component or in content type configuration) add: e.g.
[code]jQuery('#container_fcfield_28 input').ColorPicker({flat: true});


-- will propably could add this to text field,

but i think a new field is needed because we really need configuration parameters for this

Regards

oh, interesting, i'll try that, thanks!
