range slider for numeric values not prices

[marcovandijk56]

Hi,

is there a way to use a range slider for numeric values as defined in a ACF fieldtype defined as select.?
I have values 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and would like to present these in a slider in the frontend instead of a multiselect box or dropdown list.

regards

Hi,

I believe so, it should work. As far as the field has only a single value, it is very likely stored as a single value as well, in which case the range slider should work.

Hi Ernest,

unfortunate the field is a multi valued ACF field (product is suitable for child age 1,2,3,4 years or 1,2,3,4,5 for another product. The range slider is not able to deal with this kind of data.
Any other suggestion how I could use a range slider to select these values?

The alternative now is a multiselect dropdown with search so the customer can select the years , but this is not so user friendly.

regards,
Marco

In that case it is probably not possible. You can try altering the query arguments via the asp_query_args filters. The post meta filters can be found under this key.
The problem is, that the SQL between operator needs numeric values to work, so it will automatically cast the field value to an integer. As far as I know, there is no way of emulating a between operator to choose from multiple values.
