Discourse farbiger Text

[merefield (Robert)]

“BBCode-lite” without the need to install a plugin …

Adds a simple control (palette icon) to the Composer to facilitate colouring of the foreground and background of text

• Select a word or text
• Hit the palette control
• It will be wrapped like so: [wrap=color color=# bgcolor=#]word[/wrap]
• Replace the #s with html-compatible colour names, e.g. “red”, “grey” … experiment.

NB Same caveats apply as to BBCode: can be used to hide text.

Thanks a ton for this useful little component.
It doesn’t seem to be applying the composer.color_ui_button_title properly, both when left at the default or when customized:

Hello there. I don t have color text button like on this foto. Here I don t see too.

[Moin]

This theme-component is not installed here. That is why the button does not appear.
Did you add it to your site?

[merefield (Robert)]

I’ve fixed this.

@merefield

I’ve fixed this.

Thanks very much!

Excellent component!

Bug report: If I click the palette button with no text selected, it inserts the translation descriptor instead of the ‘default text’:

[en_GB.composer.color_ui_default_text]
isn’t found in the site text customization menu, and isn’t on the component settings page.

Clicking the palette icon without having text selected output this:

[wrap=color color=# bgcolor=#][en.composer.color_ui_default_text][/wrap]

Is this a missing string?

[merefield (Robert)]

that’s a nasty issue, fixed:

FIX: odd behaviour without selecting text, add default colours

thanks for the reports @Frully @Canapin

I’ve added settings for default colours.

I didn’t even read the last message

Awesome work @merefield! This has been a sorely missing feature - until now!

I wonder if this could be combined with this TC to have a single super-awesome BBCode TC:

MD Composer extras

This theme component adds few formatting options in the composer : underline, align center, align right, justify and strikethrough. You can customize the text of each button in the settings, making it compatible with every languages. Exist in rtl version (change align right to align left).
