SmartColorWidget is a user-friendly color picker widget for Archetypes. It allow quick and easy color selection from 3 different ways:

• Color table and lightness bar slider
• Hue/Lightness/Saturation fields

The 3 inputs modes are javascript-wired and dynamically change when anything is modified

A demo type is included. Set `INSTALL_DEMO_TYPES= 1 inconfig.py``` to enable it.

Requirements

• Plone 4.0 (for Plone 3.x, use 1.1.x releases)

Installation

1. read docs/Install to install the package in your zope instance using buildout or easy_install

2. Install the skin in your Plone Site with the Quickinstaller tool

Usage

• In your custom Archetype, add::

  from Products.SmartColorWidget.Widget import SmartColorWidget

• Use it like a regular field/widget in your Type's Schema. Example::

  StringField('color', default='#00FFFF', searchable=0, required=0, widget=SmartColorWidget( label='Color', ) ),
