I have a table with with “Day-Categories” which is connected to a “Days”-Table. every individual record has a color assigned to it. I’ve added a text field for the hex value. atm this is more or less just a reminder.
I’m looking for a way to use this data in a clever way to give fields background colors. To be more precise, I want to show the Day-Category on a component and then use the color information in the table to change the backgroundcolor of the field. I want to avoid writing a million display rules in a million different places.
See the attached screenshot as an example. this all display rules tho…
Somebody will still need to define the hex value for each date in the year. … right? instead why not just have a colour to represent each day of the week?
not really. the days have specific types/categorys. the category is what defines the color. thats why I have a “Type”-table and I connect days to that. eg. a day with the category “Offday” has the color #38b4fd.
This would be great, looking for this solution for a long time already. It would be great in connection with the display rule so you can add CSS-classes based on a value in a field.
Like this, but replace CSS classes with a field mentioning the CSS-class.
Just now saw this but we published this new plugin as a full row feature based on hard coded colors. We’ll make an additional version that will apply a CSS class instead.
The new plugin is already awesome. But I want to explain further what I‘d really like to see. I only want to color that one or two columns in the table. So my idea was to assign a css class like „color-me“ to the columns and the plugin then would assign the hex value from the hidden color column.
I could also take good use of that in lists, since I hide these tables on mobile and use lists there. One other place where I‘ve written a million Displayrules is Background color for some HTML-Components. Being able to use a similar workflow on html components would be sick
well actually I keep running into problems with it. From my testing it seems like as soon as I enable multi select updates it stops working with this error
