Color extension

[cmangen]

Hi Anthony,

ContentTools is really awesome.

As I understood it correctly, you don't like a color selector in ContentTools. Will such a feature be a lot of work? We can consider paying for this feature.

Thank you very much in advanced.

IMHO inline styling with a couple of buttons (color & background-color) with drop-down pickers isn't a very complex task (though we would need to handle cases when the selected-for-coloring range overlaps elements with already existing color attributes).

But then that solution might be not the most useful - perhaps you would like to have only several specific colors on your page. Then it would be useful to keep a page colors palette, and perhaps a site-wide palette, create custom-color classes for them, and add that functionality to color picker buttons.

It's not too complex to consider to implement; it could be a very nice and useful feature.

@cmangen I can certainly create this for you or help you integrate an existing colour picker if that's your preference (email me at ant[at]getme.co.uk), however, if you're considering implementing this yourself (especially if you're going to use an existing 3rd-party colour picker component) it shouldn't be difficult.

There are several other developers who've created color picking tools for ContentTools as part of their editing environment (@bfintal certainly has), and they may well be willing to share some code here to help you get started.

fwiw: I was also interested in having a color picker as well for changing font colors.

@anthonyjb Thank you very much for your answer. Yes, I want to insert an existing one.

Is this was implemented somewhere?
