ACF RGBA Color Picker

The new RGBA Color Picker v2.1 is a completely re-written version

Features

The RGBA Color Picker is a color picker that supports transparency colors in RGBA-Mode. In addition, the plugin offers the possibility to customize the color palette according to your own wishes.

Moreover, the plugin can be updated via the WordPress Update feature.

Custom color palettes

Use the filter acf_extended_color_picker_colors filter to create your own color palettes for the color picker.

Put a code like this into yout theme functions.php (you can use HEX or RGBA color values:

function set_acf_extended_colorpicker_palette() {
	$palette = array(
		'#FFF',
		'#0018ff',
		'#00FF36',
		'rgba(255,168,0,0.7)'
	);

	return $palette;
}
add_filter('acf/extended_color_picker/palette', 'set_acf_extended_colorpicker_palette');

If you have an options page where you define some standard colors, create an array from this options like (this is an example using a repeater field to set the colors; if you store your colors within a delimter separted string, convert this string into an array):

function set_acf_extended_colorpicker_palette() {
	// optional - add colors which are not set in the options page
	$palette = array(
		'#FFF',
		'#000'
	);

	if ( have_rows('YOUR_COLOR_REPEATER_FIELD', 'YOUR_OPTIONS_PAGE') ) {
		while( have_rows('YOUR_COLOR_REPEATER_FIELD', 'YOUR_OPTIONS_PAGE') ) { the_row();
			$palette[] = get_sub_field('YOUR_COLOR_FIELD');
		}
	}

	return $palette;
}
add_filter('acf/extended_color_picker/palette', 'set_acf_extended_colorpicker_palette');
