Templates & API

You can always modify values or output format via ProcessWire API.

Modify output format

$f = $page->fields->get('myColorField');
$f->outputFormat = 8;
echo $page->color['rx'];

Modify values

• Delete the page field value by setting empty string or NULL.
• The values (int) 0, (string) '0', '00000000' and '#00000000' are similar and stored as (int) 0 (black, full transparent).

$page->of(false);
$page->myColorField = 'ff0000'; // red
$page->save('myColorField');

Notes

Deleting values is only possible with inputfields of type='text' and via API.

If a default value is set, the field is filled with it if the field is empty (for example on newly created pages).
If Inputfield of type='text' 32bit is selected you can set the value to '#00000000' and the default value will be ignored.

The Fieldtype includes Spectrum Color Picker by Brian Grinstead

Any custom Javascript based Inputfield can be used.

If the Inputfield is used as is e.g. for Module Settings, the following properties are provided:

$f->wire('modules')->get('InputfieldColor);
$f->inputType = 0; // int 0 - 4
$f->alpha = 0; // int 0 or 1, will be set automatically dependend on inputType. To disable explicitly for inputType = 3 (spectrum color picker) set to bool false
$f->spectrum =  ''; // options for spectrum Color Picker if inputType = 3 @see https://bgrins.github.io/spectrum/

// properties for inputType = 4 only
$f->initJS = ''; // initial JS
$f->fileJS = ''; // path to JS file
$f->fileCSS = ''; // path to CSS file
$f->jqueryCore = 0; // enable jqueryCore
$f->jqueryUI = 0; // enable jqueryUI
