Spectrum is a Javascript plugin written by Brian Grinstead.

Download:

Spectrum can be downloaded for free from its GitHub page.

Installation:

Unzip Sepctrum and install it in the site/includes directory where you will have created two subdirectories "js" and "css". 
Place the file spectrum.js in the "js" directory and spectrum.css in the "css" directory.

Use:

  • In your form, where you want to present the colorpicker, create a text element. Give it a name and remember it.
  • Go to form Advance Options > More Options > Piece > Before form piece > Custom > and paste this in between :
    $this->execPieceByName('ff_InitLib'); // initialisation BreezingForms library
    echo '
    	<style>
    		.colorpicker {display: none !important;} // Contrer un affichage indésirable et inattendu du champ
    	</style>
    	<link rel="stylesheet" href="/includes/css/spectrum.css" />
    	<script type="text/javascript" src="/includes/js/spectrum.js"></script>
    ';

     

  • Now in the script tab > Initialization Script > Custom > Press "Create Code framework" and paste this in between :
    ff_getElementByName('fieldName').addClass('colorpicker').id = 'myID';
    	jQuery('#myID').spectrum({
    	   // Enter here the desired parameters, separated by a comma, to customize your colorpicker
    	   // for example:
    	   color: 'f00',
    	   showPalette: true,
    	   cancelText: 'Annuler', // Custom text for any language other than English
    	   chooseText: 'Valider', // Custom text for any language other than English
    	    palette:[ // Below the different pellets of the color palette, everything is customizable.
