Hello,

This a question by a newbie LS user. Apologies if posted in the wrong forum or already answered.

I am looking for an example, demo or template (or better: off-the-shelf solution) that shows/allows me to create custom sliders that have a scale from -3 to +3 with a default selection of the middle 0-position.

The slider label should not read the numerical value, but a word that expresses the selected value.

I found this thread that pushed me in the right direction re. slider/label:

www.limesurvey.org/forum/design-issues/1...theme-sliders#183283

Attached a quick example of the scale type I am looking for.






In the end, I'd like the slider values of -3 to +3 be translated to a database value from 0 to 7 (-3=0, -2=1 ... +2=6, +3=7).

I am using a self-hosted LS installation, running version 3.15.1+181017

Thanks for your help.

Hi,
1. here is a workaround to get the text on the slider handle with attached sample

2. If you do not display the values but the text, the scale "-3" to "+3" is irrelevant.
Just use a scale from 0-6, initial value 3.

Best regards

Like this; more css is up to you.

Hello Joffm,

Indeed. The -/+ scale was the initial thought of getting a label that indicated less/more so.

Thanks for the reply. Will try the script.
