Let User Pick Color

customaware

Here is the scenario.

Have a BO that contains types of events.

When a user creates an an event in the Scheduler they select an event type.
When it shows up it is in a particular color.

However, there can be any number of Event types and I want the user to be able to assign different colors to different Event types.

So what would be great is to be able to pop up a color selector when the user is creating or editing the Event types and have the color code stored so that when the Event is displayed in the scheduler, it show in the assigned color.

Hope that makes sense.

Anyone know if that is possible?

I see some great examples in html 5 but how to get the value back into the attribute?

Cheers,
Mark

There is no support for the color picker out-of-the-box but it can be done with a Javascript plugin.

Anyone want to give me a quote to implement it for me?

Would need to include instructions on how to imlement, Return the color value to an attribute in AwareIM and in turn have that value reflected in a style.

I have found some good examples of Color Pickers in js (see http://jscolor.com/) but have no idea how to return the value to AwareIM. So for me, that is the stumbling block.

Hi Mark / support.
Did you ever do / look into this? (Or has anyone else done this?). I could use a color picker where the user can pick a color and the rgb/hex of that color being saved in a text form/attribute.

Did not take it any further.

Would still be nice thing to have though.

I other way to do tho sis to assign a colour when the Event is created. The user creates an Event and from the same form selects a colour form the drop down . You will have to create may be a list of 30 colours but it is not so hard. Then you can use the display conditions in your query or calendar to show that color...

'Yes, would be nice to have this and even a simple one like the built in extjs colorpicker would do for my purposes (the one you linked to Mark also looks nice).

Regarding your idea Powerm, I have thought of doing just that but not sufficient for my purposes.
