collective.z3cform.colorpicker 0.1

colorpicker widget for z3c.form

Introduction

The color picker widget allows you to select a color and store its web exadecimal code.

The widget is based on TextLinesWidget (plone.z3cform.textlines) and Farbtastic, a jQuery color picker plug-in (http://acko.net/dev/farbtastic).

Requirements

• plone >= 3.2.1

• plone.app.z3cform

Installation

Just a simple easy_install collective.z3cform.colorpicker is enough.

Alternatively, buildout users can install collective.z3cform.colorpicker as part of a specific project’s buildout, by having a buildout configuration such as:

[buildout]
...
eggs =
    zope.i18n>=3.4
    collective.z3cform.colorpicker
...
[instance]
...
zcml =
    collective.z3cform.colorpicker

Usage

You can use this widget setting the “widgetFactory” property of a form field:

from zope import schema
from z3c.form import form, field
from collective.z3cform.colorpicker.colorpicker import ColorpickerFieldWidget

class IColorForm(interface.Interface):
    color = schema.TextLine(title=u"Color",
                            description=u"",
                            required=False)

class Color(object):
    color = '#ff0000'
    def __init__(self, context):
        self.context = context

class ColorForm(form.Form):
    fields = field.Fields(IColorForm)
    fields['color'].widgetFactory = ColorpickerFieldWidget
