hey guys im sure its a fairly easy fix but its been doing my head in, put simply once a user has submitted a post, where the post is being shown i would like icons to change to the specific hex colour a user picked. I have tried doing this through conditionals but deleting the hex doesnt bring up the insert dynamic data option. I have removed the style for the group as gemini said this was the problem but still nothing. ‘Thankyou in advance for any help
are you sure you Stored the picked hex as a text field? Invluding the # in the input
E.g storing it as #345ffe Instead of 345ffe
i have triple checked and the hex is stored as a text field and includes # yes. so frustrating
Is it possible to view the editor by any chance?
I will tell you how we do this, and maybe it will help, or at least spark an idea.
We allow the users to pick icons and their color (as well as a ton of other things) when they create a loyalty card.
We looked at the easiest possible way for them to be able to do it…
right now, we use a plugin from Zeroqode that works perfectly for what we need it to do:
When they update their card, the workflow runs, and the icon color is the airpicker-Logo Colors value. Of course, we have it set for an initial color also. There is a live preview so they can see their card design in real time. The icon color is the value of the airpicker-logo colors value.
Simple for the user and simple for us. We looked at other options, but went with this because it was almost foolproof for users to use and very clear.
Not sure exactly how your setup is, but you could maybe take some tips from how we do it and tweak it to your needs. Just an idea
the editor is set to be viewed by anyone i believe its a bit all over the place at the moment so be warned
thankyou ! im trying to create a way for low resources being used on the bubble side of things so ideally i wanted it to be conditional or something similar
Ok, well, if you’re letting the user input their own hex code…
then you save that to the database under it’s own field. Best to save it as text.
Then on the blog where the icon is, you set the color to dynamic data and make it the color you have saved in the database.
All very simple 1, 2, 3.
that would be ideal! however i try to input dynamic data and the option doesnt come up when i delete the hex code already there, this has been the issue. I have removed the style as apparently this will then unlock the ability for dynamic data but still no luck
I just did an example and had no problem being able to input dynamic data.
Couple of things: 1. you don’t even need to delete the hex code already there…just click in the box twice and it will bring up the ability to add dynamic data.
Sometimes I have to reposition the box lower or something to be able to click the second time and bring up the dynamic data option
Here is a .gif of me bringing up dynamic data:
