Spectrum Colour Picker

Works on both Umbraco 7 and 8

Creates an "unbound" colour picker based on the Spectrum jquery plugin. By unbound, we mean that colours aren't pre-defined, allowing the user to choose a color of their own.

For more information about Spectrum, go here: http://bgrins.github.io/spectrum/

If you want to customise the settings for Spectrum, see the file in

  /App_Plugins/SpectrumColorPicker/SpectrumColorPicker.controller.js

and set the Spectrum options in the directive.

Note: Currently you may need to force the website to restart by touching the web.config in order to see the new Property Editor.  When upgrading any package, it's also advisable to flush your browser cache otherwise you may not immediately see any difference in functionality due to javascript file caching.

Updates:

Version 1.0.0:

  • Stable Release!  Fixes typo with preferredFormat prevalue option which *may break previous version*

Version 0.0.7:

  • Added language support, based on umbracos langs and upgraded spectrum from version 1.2.0 to 1.8.0.
