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

[RSDigital]

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
