Range slider custom field

Hi,

Is it possible to create range sliders as a custom field?

Or build range sliders with bootstrap and Community Builder "grabs" the value?

We have no range fieldtype. Best I can suggest is using a jQuery plugin to turn an integer field or text field into a range slider, which just sets its value into that integer or text field. That should work as far as storage is concerned. You can load your jQuery plugin or custom JS in general on registration and profile edit pages using onAfterUserProfileEditDisplay and onAfterRegisterFormDisplay triggers in CB Auto Actions with a Code action.

Would be very good, if a range slider would be on your list of new extensions! That is often used nowadays and I am missing that painfully here.

Have added a feature ticket to note improvements for core fieldtypes and added mention to review implementing a range fieldtype.

Hi, I saw, that an "range slider" will not be implemented: forge.joomlapolis.com/issues/7620
Please let me add, that in many websites this function is used today and that I am still missing that. Here two user cases:

"double range slider" (2 values, min and max)
User added field-x = 300
Search have a range slider which can be used max from 100 - 1000 and with choosen 100 - 500 the user with 300 will be shown

"single range slider" (1 value)
User can add in field-x with a range slider the right value (easier)

Could you check, what is possible with CB and what could you implement in the future?
Thanks.

A range slider is not planned at this time. It's extremely non-user friendly. They are a nightmare to use on touch devices. We've found little to not use for them given our Integer and Decimal fields are proper HTML5 number input types which are user friendly across every device. Any time a slider is used for proper UX it needs to also have number fields accompany it which basically defeats the point in having a slider in the first place and increases the complexity by outputting 3 inputs instead of 1 or 2.
