Hey!

I'd like to see this implemented, if possible. For thread designs, we click the little 'A' to change the color of certain text and it looks like this:



It is really annoying because there are so many colors that we could use that aren't there. I was wondering if we could have this:

http://www.colorpicker.com

We can choose absolutely any color we want and the hexadecimal code is already there!

Thoughts?
 
It's not that easy bub.

Do we even have a coder for the site? Other than @Philly that is.

I never stated or asked if it was easy or not. There are members here that can code this quite easily, it's not something I want right this instant, I want member opinions.
 
Nice suggestion, I wonder who you stole it from.

There should be a MyBB Plugin out there for something like this. I can't imagine that this hasn't been made before.

I didn't steal this from you, mate.
 
You can use Hex Codes of any color. But it would be a little easier to have a wheel or something.
 
We honestly don't really need more colors. No one even uses all the colors as it is. I think it'd just be a waste of a plug-in for once.
 
I mean every basic color is there, although I see what you're getting at.

I would love to see a new change in this, but honestly don't believe the site needs it.
 
Requires editing the post editor and integrate the color picker API with it. This has never been done before, so I can't say if it's possible.
 
I believe this is what you were wanting. You're welcome.

This will add Color Hex Validation in Nickman's Form Manager 2.0 Plugin.
In the plugin files, open:

admin/modules/config/forms.php

and find all instances of (there are four):
Code: 
"5"=>"All letters"

Change them to:
Code: 
"5"=>"All letters","6"=>"A Color Hex"

Save the file and close. Now open:

forms.php (included to be uploaded in the site root).

and find this at near-about line no. 602:
Code: 
if ($items[$name]['type'] == 5)
 {
 validate_letters($name,$value);
 }

Add just after that (before final closing curly brace '}' of 'validate' function:
Code: 
if ($items[$name]['type'] == 6)
 {
 validate_colorhex($name,$value);
 }

Now find this function near about line no. 645:
Code: 
function validate_numeric($name,$value)
{
 if (!is_numeric($value))
 {
 form_error("The field $name was not a number");
 }
}

Add just after that:
Code: 
function validate_colorhex($name,$colhex)
{
 if (!preg_match("/(^#[0-9A-F]{6}$)|(^#[0-9A-F]{3}$)/",$colhex))
 {
 form_error("The field $name was not a valid color hex code");
 }
}

Save the file and close. Re-upload two modified files, activate the plugin.
Now you have additional option for the fields with Color Hex Validation.
