Smart color picker widget for Archetypes

Project Description

SmartColorWidget

SmartColorWidget is a user-friendly color picker widget for Archetypes. It allow quick and easy color selection from 3 different ways:

  • HTML color value
  • Color table and lightness bar slider
  • Hue/Lightness/Saturation fields

The 3 inputs modes are javascript-wired and dynamically change when anything is modified

A demo type is included. Set INSTALL_DEMO_TYPES` = 1 in config.py` to enable it.

Requirements

  • Plone 4.0 (for Plone 3.x, use 1.1.x releases)

Installation

  1. read docs/Install to install the package in your zope instance using buildout or easy_install
  2. Install the skin in your Plone Site with the Quickinstaller tool

Usage

  • In your custom Archetype, add:

    from Products.SmartColorWidget.Widget import SmartColorWidget

  • Use it like a regular field/widget in your Type's Schema. Example:

    StringField('color',
            default='#00FFFF',
            searchable=0,
            required=0,
            widget=SmartColorWidget(
                label='Color',
                )
           ),
