Link to Mod

Color PickerReplaces the color drop down box on the posting page with a button, that when clicked pops up a small box that allows the user to select their color based on rgb values.

Cool mod!
However, when I go to install it, I get a File Not Found error because it is looking for Post.Template.php when it should be looking for Post.template.php.

ah, after all the trouble I went through to get it approved D:

Anyways, I've fixed that now, as I've just uploaded a new copy with that particular change.

I hope to see it works with smf2 beta4

It looks fine on my site.


What other mods do you have installed? What theme are you using? Did you install this mod using the package manager?

[dimdom]

Thanks for answering.

I use overview dark for TP 0.9.8 as my main theme.

I also use a lot of mods, but none can interfere with the css of this mod.

Works good for me! Thanks

At a guess, assuming that you didn't manually install it on that theme and you're using the default post.template.php, I'd say it's related the the amount of padding the theme has added to the table, the box that the color picker is in is has a fixed width, what you're essentially seeing is that not everything can fit on the line it's supposed to because there isn't enough space (because of additional padding), so it's being pushed down to the next.

Probably the easiest solution, and one that won't muck up that theme would be to edit the post.template.php and to increase the size of the box itself, there are I believe 5 widths you would need to change in order to make it longer, you'll find them in the div with the id, "colorBox".

What you may want to consider doing is replacing the fixed widths that I have in place with css that's been defined in a style sheet, it would probably go along the lines of something like this, although I haven't tested it.

div#colorBox div table.bordercolor

    width: 242px;
}

div#colorBox div table.bordercolor table.windowbg
{
    width: 240px;
}

div#colorBox div table.bordercolor div table
{
    width: 240px;
}

div#colorBox div + div + div
{
    width: 232px;
}

It works fine for me, but this error keeps appearing in my error log:

It is because you are using utf8.  You should be able to insert

Code Select Expand

$txt['color_picker'] = 'Color Picker'; into your Modifications.english-utf8.php file.

Where in the file? anywhere?

Just about anywhere, just as long as its between the php tags.

Thx, I've also just switched the forum over to normal english. Every damn mod gives me utf-8 errors. Really annoying. Wonder why smf defaults to it when none of the mod makers support it. :\
