Custom form field attributes in form designer

Jamroom Developers

I'm working on a color picker custom form field and need a bit of advice.

I can pass in attributes when writing the color picker field into another module.

If I wanted admin to be able to configure the color picker's js options in the form designer on a field by field basis, I guess I'd need to pass those in using the options field in form designer.

I'm pretty sure that would work, but how would I get those config options into the options "see help for what is allowed here" help? Can I replace that help, or add to it, or should I try a bit of jquery to replace the help text after the form loads?

Or is there a better way of adding configurable attributes in the form designer?

Thanks

Use css to change the color of the text.

Cool that it isn't a bump. But please make it funnier, you know you can.

Suggestions

After rereading that, I have a better suggestion:

Bridge, integrate, then enforce some account changes which require your core users to pay some attention to their profile. Hope that your other users follow, and then adjust from there.

More of a backstage bar/greenroom response than a Suggestions forum response. Sorry.

My first question was "are you moving your community, or starting to build a new one"?

My first thought was that it sounds like you have a forum-style site, IPB is bringing out new features, jrForum doesn't replicate IPB, but you'd like it to because Jamroom is much better (to work with) than IPB (they do different jobs).

My second thought was "What am I saying?": Of course you should go with Jamroom. But important to note that for building a community, Jamroom 5 has a Followers and Profiles emphasis, not a forum emphasis. This here jamroom.net community is based on things other than the forum - the software, and supporting it, and a long history as you know.

Final thought is that you need to base your decision on
1. your available resources (skill, time and/or money),
2. whether or not you can bring your existing communities to the new site (that doesn't involve features or cms's, it's purely down to your skill in moving your users from one of your sites to another and what you say to them to achieve that),
3. Which has the closest feature set to what you require as a forum? (JR or IPB)?
4. Your personal preference - which one is more interesting to you? (JR or IPB?)

I think jr5 is something special (specialler than 4), so I naturally recommend that choice. But if you don't have the resources, can't move your users, or need a traditional stylee forum, then go with IPB or similar.

Regardless of what I search for, using the search on the My Posts tab of the jamroom-network-forum returns no results.

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/my_posts?search_string=bbcode
That should return my last post, but it doesn't.

It isn't caching, I've used the term "jamroom" many times, but a search for it under My Posts returns no results.

Either it isn't working, or I shouldn't be seeing the search button on the My Posts page.

If you don't understand either Jamroom or the javascript you are trying to add to jamroom, I can understand why you are feeling frustrated.

It's not surprising that you cannot add code that you don't understand to other code that you don't understand. Same thing here. Pretty much universal experience imo.

You need to develop some degree of understanding of jamroom, AND your external javascript. Otherwise your question is just another "How do I turn this brick into a car?"

If you can't make a module similar to what Michael outlined above, you can either get someone else to do it for you, or develop some understanding and then do it yourself.

So you don't want foxycart, but you want all the features in foxycart?

This one will only get funnier.
