Is there anyway to populate the color palette with site variables?

[dabigcheeze]

Just want to be able to populate the color palette more dynamically with variables rather than do it by hand. I already use Michael Paul Bourne’s script that turns palette colours into variables I can reference but it would be nice to somehow populate the palette for new builds with the things I always use on each site.

Great question. Try the following filter if your looking for something that applies to a “Theme” section like in the image. I’ll make a note to add some docs on this, didn’t know about this first one.

add_filter("cs_colors_extend", function() {
    return [
        [
            "title" => __("Accent"),
            "value" => "rgb(255, 0, 0)",
            "_id" => "accent",
        ]
    ];
});

Alternatively if you set the wp_option cornerstone_color_items with JSON that is slashed you can setup values that go into “Palette”. Let me know if this helps!

if (empty(get_option('cornerstone_color_items', null)) {
  // Array would be your colors similar to the first example
  $stored = wp_slash( json_encode( [] ) ); 
  update_option( 'cornerstone_color_items', $stored );
}
