Hi Matt,
I think there is an issue with the download. Whilst the top post says “v0.4” actually hovering over the link shows the file as v0.3. (Edit: sorry, my mistake) I downloaded it and installed it anyway and sure enough, it still needs the external files to work and reports as v0.3 in my textpattern installation.
That said, even v0.3 is nice — thank you!

Thank you!
Link fixed. The only difference between the two versions is the images don’t need to be uploaded in 0.4.

I can’t take credit. I saw how Gocom did it and learned from there.

Re: msd_admin_colorpicker: Adds colorpicker to write tab

BTW

  • msd_admin_colorpicker plugin add a color picker to the custom 2 field in the write tab to associate a custom color with each article
  • msd_google_map add a google map to your article tab to assist you with adding lat/lng coordinates to the first 2 custom fields: custom 1 field and custom 2 field

It would be nice a package of the 2 plugins with the first plugin modified to use the third custom field avoiding the user the cose to use them simultaneously.

Not so important, anyway :P

Re: msd_admin_colorpicker: Adds colorpicker to write tab

You can easily edit msd_admin_colorpicker to change the field used.

Change

define("colorpicker_field", "custom-2"); //custom-2 can be changed. 

to

define("colorpicker_field", "custom-3"); //custom-2 can be changed.

Re: msd_admin_colorpicker: Adds colorpicker to write tab

Another questions… I think that your plugin is very scenographic: it gives the admin area a very professional look… even without using it! ;)

In the help text should be useful to find some real life examples (apart the Widescreen template for which it was created).

For example I’d like to obtain a marker effect (maybe with an extra icon to add beside the rah_textile plugin ones…): the user chooses the color with your colorpicker, applies the marker and obtain something like this:

<span style=“color: #ffffff; background-color: ##f2f65a”>HIGHLIGHTED TEXT</span>

Is it possible, in other words, to change the background color with your plugin?

Apart this, let’s talk apart possible things: can you post the code to associate a custom color with each article?

Thanks in advance!

Re: msd_admin_colorpicker: Adds colorpicker to write tab

I’m not sure about the highlight effect.

As far as associating custom color with each article – That is what the plugin does. You could then use the value of the custom field where ever you want. The Widescreen template uses it in embeded css to change the background color using an article form.

 <txp:if_custom_field name="Image-Color"> 

<!-- Custom color -->

<style type="text/css">

li#n-current a, li#n-archive a, li#n-previous a, li#n-next a {
	background-color:#<txp:custom_field name="Image-Color" />;
	}
#rowone-inner {
	border-bottom:10px solid #<txp:custom_field name="Image-Color" />;
	}
#rowone-inner h1 a:hover {
	color:#<txp:custom_field name="Image-Color" />;
	}

h2#title, h2#title a, h2#title a:hover {
	background-color:#<txp:custom_field name="Image-Color" /> !important;
	}

#caption a, #taglinks a {
	border-bottom:1px solid #<txp:custom_field name="Image-Color" />;
	}

#caption a:hover, #taglinks a:hover {
	background-color:#<txp:custom_field name="Image-Color" />;
	border-bottom:1px solid #<txp:custom_field name="Image-Color" />;
	}
#taglinks h3 {
	background-color:#<txp:custom_field name="Image-Color" />;
	}
#footer {
	border-left:10px solid #<txp:custom_field name="Image-Color" />;
	}
#commentsarea a {
	border-color:#<txp:custom_field name="Image-Color" />;
	}
#commentsarea a:hover {
	background-color:#<txp:custom_field name="Image-Color" />;
	}

a.backtotop {
	background-color:#<txp:custom_field name="Image-Color" />;
	}

</style>
<txp:else />
</txp:if_custom_field>

I imagine you could do the same thing for your highlight use case by applying a class to the span wrapped around the highlighted text and use the custom color and some css to style it.

Re: msd_admin_colorpicker: Adds colorpicker to write tab

I tried to change the custom field color in the extension tab but a SAVE button is missing: the new custom field number remains the same. Where am I wrong?

BTW any new idea for the highlight effect? I can’t associate the CSS with the custom field…

Thanks in advance.

Re: msd_admin_colorpicker: Adds colorpicker to write tab

I’ve fixed the missing button and the updated plugin is available for download on my site

I’ll have to take a look at rah_textile_bar.
