Color Text and Image without code

BlueWhaleYT

Hi there,
I am a beginner of Flarum,and I am working on this platform right now,since yesterday.
Here I want a feature that hopes will be added in the future.
There's no denying that we can type
[color=#3742fa]Blue[/color]
for formatting to blue color of this text.

However,
Will Flarum can easy to adjust the text color such as adjust with Sliding , a color pad.Due to not every user are learnt about any BBcode.Even they don't want to learn or they even not a programmer or developer.

Another feature is will Flarum add a option that straightforward to upload the images without hosting?

The major reason is they may not know how to host a image into the internet.

I am look forward about a button that shows two options (open camera , choose image from gallery) and add to the post easily.

Above of the features that I hope the developer can decide about them.
Thanks.

Have you tried the FOF Upload extension?

This one should be possible. I have an extension called rich text that adds wysiwyg to markdown. Someone could probably extend that to support some bbcodes.

Welcome to Flarum.

We have third-party extensions that add file upload:

Regarding color, in my experience color is rarely something that many users need to edit. It's probably even best for the graphical integrity of your forum if as few people as possible know how to manually set a color.

If you want to change the color for the whole website, you can add some custom CSS in the admin panel.

If you really want a button in the edit toolbar with a color picker, it can totally be implemented via an extension. You could do it yourself after familiarizing with the extension API or find an extension developer to create such an extension for you.

I'm not familiar with any forum software offering more than a shortcut to the [color] bbcode. Never seen one implement a color picker for that tag.

Oops!The problem is I host with FreeFlarum.

BlueWhaleYT then the only option would be to have the extension developed, published and then integrated by FreeFlarum. This could take some time.

If you're looking into customizing your forum with additional features, custom controls and things like that, hosting yourself will definitely allow many more options.

Found this post by @BlueWhaleYT while searching for a color font extension myself.

I'd be very satisfied with a reduced set of colors in a dropdown menu. The users on my forum edit text in documents primarily by using strikethrough to show the old text and a colour to show the new text, with competing versions in various colors.

I can see there's no such option in mediawiki's new visual editor either but I figured I'd throw in my 2 cents worth.
