Theme Settings

[mvlcek]

Great idea for a plugin!  But question/suggestion:
     Is it possible to skip the schema? I'd like to offer the user to choose ANY color they want, rather than my small list of color combinations.   Example:  I'd use @backgroundColor in LESS, and then have a text input field in settings.php that allows user to enter in any 6-digit hex number for it that they wish.  They could get that hex number from one of many online color choosing tools.   (Although, even better, a color chooser could be incorporated into the settings.php??).

But what function/code would I need to create that text input field in settings.php to allow user to enter a color hex number?

You can specify any fields in the settings.php.
To combine extra fields specified in settings.php, but not in the *.properties (e.g. provide a template, but let the user specify the link color), use something like this:

Code:

<?php
$additional = array('f1' => return_theme_setting('f1'), 'f2' => return_theme_setting('f2'));
get_less_css('default.less', return_theme_settings($additional));
?>

If you don't have schemas, remove the schema select from settings.php and make sure you have a empty default.properties.

You could then also create the css like this (but the above code would still work):

Code:

<?php
$additional = array('f1' => return_theme_setting('f1'), 'f2' => return_theme_setting('f2'));
get_less_css('default.less', $additional);
?>
