Choice field value issues

spotthehub — Tue, 20 Jul 2021 20:42:31 GMT

Hi, I'm creating a module and would like to add a custom font option to it.

I've created simple css hubl code like this:

p, li, h1, h2, h3, h4, button, span, a {
font-family: {{ module.font_family }};
}

and created a font_family choice field like this:

but it's not rendering the output correctly:

p,li,h1,h2,h3,h4,button,span,a{font-family:}

I've tried font-family: {{ module.font_family.value }}, etc...

Anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Ben

Hello @spotthehub and thanks for sharing your issue.

First of all, css in modules is very limited in comparison to html, thus you won't be able to access your value from the font_family from the css of the module. Here is more info on that.

For that matter you should probably use the require_css block in the html of the module like this:

{% require_css %} <style> p,li,h1,h2,h3,h4,button,span,a{ font-family: {{ module.font_family.value }} ; } </style> {% end_require_css %}

This and much more regaring modules is all very well documented in this article about module development.

I hope I gave you some direction what to look at, if it helped mark this answer as a solution.

Hey @miljkovicmisa thanks for the help. This worked well for my needs.

I was confused by this section in the documentation that shows variables being accessed:

Hi @spotthehub ,

Use rich text under module and get option font-family. Check screenshot:
