Optionator fonts selector like the one on Typography

[miked 0]

I am building a custom section and want to know how to add a font selector to the optinator like the one found on the Typography page that includes a preview, edit font style and advanced options? Thanks Mike

Are you referring to a CSS selector? Like, how to identify the CSS selector you need to change a certain text element on your site?

I'm building a custom section and I added a font selector, type = "fonts", however with fonts you only get a dropdown list of fonts, no preview, no other options. I did locate another type called "typography" which has the preview, edit font styling and advanced, unfortunately I can't get it to save. When you click save it goes back to "Select Font". The docs here http://www.pagelines.com/wiki/PageLines_APIs don't seem to list the different settings for each option type so I am having to scan through other plugin code and pagelines code.

I'm told you should look in config.options.php to see how we do the list. I would not suggest editing things in that file as they will be overwritten with upgrades. However, it will give you an idea of how we handled it.

I've been using the Pagelines code base for reference only, will not hack it. The issue is when you add type => 'typography' in the optionator code, you cant save the changes in the UI, after inspecting the form element id, it appears 'typography' may not be compatible with the optinator, maybe it only works with Pagelines settings.

Mike, honestly, I have never used Typography and never heard of optinator so I'm in the dark completely on this one. Because it's a customization that goes beyond the skills my colleagues in the forum and I possess, I'd suggest writing to [email protected] and asking for a pro to help you with this one. I'm sure one of them would have more insight into this and deeper knowledge of the working code. Apologies for the inconvenience but I'm not a developer, as they are.
