I read this article on how to create a custom color palette:
https://www.ractoon.com/2014/11/acf5-pro-color-picker-custom-palettes/
But this is made for text color selection in a WYSIWYG Editor.
Is there a way to create a custom color palette using Custom Fields to only have a certain number of colors within the palette selectable when the custom field is inside a post setup? Meaning, if I was creating a new post and wanted to select colors for my product, I would only have the choice of a set of colors. I don’t want a hexagram to be visible.
If this is not possible, is my only option to create a Checkbox custom field for users to select the color (Green, Black, Grey, etc.) and then have this post on the frontend? With that being said, I will also need to post a series of ‘If’ statements that if a certain ‘color’ had been chosen, that it would post the actual color box (not the label). Would this be the only alternative method?
Hi @toad78
For something like that, I believe using the checkbox or radio fields are the best way to achieve it. But if you still want to use the color picker field, please try the following workaround:
function my_acf_collor_pallete_script() {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function($){
acf.add_filter('color_picker_args', function( args, $field ){
// do something to args
args.palettes = ['#5ee8bf', '#2f353e', '#f55e4f']
console.log(args);
// return
return args;
});
})(jQuery);
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('acf/input/admin_footer', 'my_acf_collor_pallete_script');
function my_acf_collor_pallete_css() {
?>
<style>
.acf-color_picker .iris-picker.iris-border{
width: 200px !important;
height: 10px !important;
}
.acf-color_picker .wp-picker-input-wrap,
.acf-color_picker .iris-picker .iris-slider,
.acf-color_picker .iris-picker .iris-square{
display:none !important;
}
</style>
<?php
}
add_action('acf/input/admin_head', 'my_acf_collor_pallete_css');
This page should give you more idea about it: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/adding-custom-javascript-fields/.
I hope this helps 🙂
