Great project! The colors argument was added a long time ago... any chance can you release this to PyPI? django_colorful-1.1.0 does not include it. The version number will need an update. Thanks!

Hi there,

we use RGBColorField (great tool!) in our django application. I wonder if it's possible for it to behave like a modal dialog...?

Scenario:

• on web page X, user clicks on the color field
• the "color picker" dialog opens, in which the user is supposed to pick a color
• the user, however, closes page X (should not be possible!)
• the dialog remains open.

Are there any solutions for preventing the web page from closing before closing the color picker dialog?

Thanks in advance!
Adrian

Hi!

Every time I press Save in admin I have 2 new color (#000). It doesn't depend if I change field with color, just click Save ... Why?

My model:

class Color(models.Model):
    color = RGBColorField(verbose_name=u'Color')
    ware = models.ForeignKey(Ware, verbose_name=u"Ware", related_name="colors")

My admin:

class ColorInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = Color
    extra = 2
    max_num = 10

@admin.register(Ware)
class WareAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display  = ('id','title',)
    inlines = [ColorInline,]

As we can see in the release notes for Django 2.1 (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/releases/2.1/):

Support for Widget.render() methods without the renderer argument is removed.

As the ColorFieldWidget render method does not have a renderer kwarg, it fails when rendering:

def render(self, name, value, attrs={}):

It should be enough to just add:

def render(self, name, value, attrs={}, **kwargs):

When trying to use RGBColorField in a regular forms.Form, the field chokes on arguments such as 'label'.

I'm getting the following error when trying to pip install a requirements file containing django and django-colorful:

  Using cached django-colorful-1.2.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/tmp/pip-build-8sI7z4/django-colorful/setup.py", line 4, in <module>
        import colorful
      File "colorful/__init__.py", line 3, in <module>
        from django.utils import version
    ImportError: No module named django.utils

Obviously, Django isn't installed at this point, and so accessing django.utils fails.

See the screenshot attached.

Hey,

It seems that 1.3 isn't available on PyPI yet: https://pypi.org/project/django-colorful/#history

Would be great if you got around to uploading the release. Thanks in advance!

I found that in db django-colorful storage '#ff0000' with varchar(7).
But why using archer(6) and storage 'ff0000'?

It would be great to have that feature

If you see the css,

div.colorPicker-palette {
width: 110px;
position: absolute;
border: 1px solid #598FEF;
background-color: #EFEFEF;
padding: 2px;
z-index: 9999;
}

However, in browsers that don't support native html5 color input the palette shows like:
<div id="color_selector" style="left: 975px; top: 209.7px; display: block; z-index: 1050;"><div style="background-color: rgb(153, 204, 255);">&nbsp;</div><div class="color_swatch" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">&nbsp;</div><div id="color_custom"><label for="color_value">Hex</label><input id="color_value" type="text" size="8"></div></div>

So I think the css class should be:

color_selector instead of div.colorPicker-palette?

Hey there, I really liked your app, it is really easy to use. However, I found this github before I realized it is hosted on PyPi. A link (or any mention of it) in your readme file would be nice.

Hi,
I'm quite new to python (so also Django) and web servers.
But I followed the Django tutorial https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/intro/tutorial01/
So now I'm able to acces a web page.
I want to have a color picker on my page, but while trying, I don't get where or how I should use the INSTALLED_APPS.append('colorful'). If I add manualy 'colorful' in the INSTALLED_APPS list, I get an error too.

Any feedback would be welcome!
Thanks in advance

https://github.com/charettes/django-colorful/blob/master/colorful/__init__.py#L3 means that Django already needs to be available before installing, and installation fails when it's not. For example:

Collecting django-colorful
  Downloading https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/bc/5a/ef813bdfa9e9f4acd3efb363317b2e17b9ff67fb37e3880b7a3019037e29/django-colorful-1.2.tar.gz

        from django.utils import version
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django'

Maybe the technique used at https://github.com/GaretJax/django-click/blob/master/setup.py#L87-L97 would be a work-around.

It is hardly possible that anyone would need to install django by installing django-colorful and this line will cause headaches for developers who have installed django in non-standard way (from svn, via symlink, from OS repository, etc).

https://validator.w3.org/ flags the script generated by this with a warning. Seems like a simple fix to line 33 in widgets.py
From :
return '''<script type="text/javascript">

To:
return '''<script>

Warning: The type attribute is unnecessary for JavaScript resources.

When I use a white default (#fff, #FFFFFF), the colour picker defaults to #000000:

class MyModel(models.Model):
    white = RGBColorField(default='#fff')

I've attached a screenshot of this behavour. You can see there that the input has a value of #fff, but the widget is showing black:

I'm seeing this both in Firefox 63b1 and Chromium 68.

Type of Issue: feature suggestion

description: sometimes there is a need for alpha value side by side the RGB value, we can achieve this by adding another field for alpha, but imagine a use-case that needs to add more than a single color(for example a global theming colors of a website), therefore, it will be better to save and return the entire value as single value (RGBa). this is a great feature for serializers within APIs and headless front-ends as well

Hi,
I created a model with a RGBField.
Then I setted my model admin list_display to: ('color')
where color is my RGBField.

In the list of registered models, the rgb value for the selected color is shown.
Would be amazing if the view was something like the widget.

I do not know if it can be done directly in the django-colorful but if it is possible, it will be pretty cool.

Sometimes it does make sense to let user choose nothing instead of a color; However I didn't find any way to feed a null value to the field.

Is there any version that is compatible with Django 1.6.5? The installation automatically upgrades/installs Django 1.9 , which is not compatible with my project code.
May I know if there are a number of Django 1.8 code usages in the project, or simply downgrading the version would work in a fork?

With 1.0.0 version I can't create a schemamigration of a model using the RGBColorField.
I got this error:

Downgrading to the 0.1.3 version, schemamigration is created without errors.

Hi,
is it possible to have rgb code instead of hex in return?
thanks

Like mentioned in #28. I think it would be a nice improvement.

https://bgrins.github.io/spectrum/

Cannot you add the ablilty to set hex colors (like #FFFFFF) in color-picking widget?

The widget is automatically displayed in admin.ModelAdmin but not in BetterForm or BetterModelForm from django-form-utils

The RGBColorField can be an optional field, but the colur picker widget does not seem to support it and defaults to black color.

Example model field:

nav_bar_color = RGBColorField(null=True, blank=True)

I tried to change my charfield to RGBColorField but I'm having issue with admin interface.
The field is used in a ManyToMany through table that I was showing in the admin as TabularInline

# model.py
class Department(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=300)
    document_type = models.ManyToManyField(DocumentType, through='DocumentDepartment',
                                           through_fields=('department', 'document_type'))

class DocumentType(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=300)
    code = models.CharField(max_length=10)

class DocumentDepartment(models.Model):
    document_type = models.ForeignKey(DocumentType, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    department = models.ForeignKey(Department, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    color = RGBColorField()
    # color = models.CharField(default='#3344FF', blank=True, null=True, max_length=10)

# admin.py
class DocumentTypeInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = Department.document_type.through

class DepartmentAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('name',)
    inlines = [DocumentTypeInline]

With the color field as CharField the admin works properly but if I change it to RGBColorField I'm not able to submit empty inlines.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
