How to set color and alpha of a module inside a template?

RSDigital — Tue, 17 May 2022 17:16:55 GMT

I have a custom module that allows a user to select a background color and opacity. I'd like to have this module available within different section templates, which isn't a problem, but I can't figure out the syntax to set the background color and the opacity from with a %dnd_module% tag. I'm sure I'm missing something simple.

Hi @RSDigital,

to get it right - you'd like to modify a section by a module? If so - it's gonna be hard.

An easier approach would be to create a custom module instead of a section function. Here's an example.

Used functions:

- color function named "background color"

{% require_css %} <style> .{{name|md5}}{ background-color: rgba({{module.background_color.color|convert_rgb}}, {{module.background_color.opacity//100}}); {# more styling here #} } </style> {% end_require_css %} ... <div class="{{name|md5}}"> {# layout for your whole section #} </div>

hope this helps

best,

Anton
