Rang Slider

You could make your own field, based of of our existing range slider field, but load up different JavaScript.

Sorry, I am a noob so how would i do that? I have a test form up with the slider, but how do i use diff JS?

Can I ask what steps you have taken so far?

I have setup my form with a slider setting my limits and such but no idea how to load up a diff JS for the other slider.

This isn’t going to work with the default range slider field. You would need to create your own field.

How do I create my own field? Can I get an example or some solid direction? Like I said I am a noob, do you have a step by step on how to create and modify my own field? Is it like a custom field that I have to create in the functions.php or is it a setting I am missing somewhere in your plugin?

You would need to hook into ‘caldera_forms_get_field_types’ to register your new field. Look at the Caldera_Forms::get_internal_field_types() for how the internal fields are registered. While you’re in there, copy the array for the existing range slider.

I would make a plugin that starts by replicating that hook, with the file paths corrected and the JavaScript swapped out and has a copy of the existing field files for checkboxes.

I don’t have a step by step guide for this. I one time copied the AutoComplete field from a custom plugin we made for a client project into Caldera Forms itself to add that feature. That is my whole experience with adding custom field types.

Hmm, more complex that I can handle so marking resolved.
