Hi,
I'm newbie at LimeSurvey and I've read in this forum that you can use a slider (in the style of this: badassdatascience.com/badassdatascience/...11/slider_image2.png ) as the Question Type. Nevertheless, I can't seem to find this option when I use the dropdown list. I'm using v1.92+.

Can a slider be used out-of-the-box or is it only accessible thru mingling with the source code?

Thanks

Sliders can be used with the multiple numeric input question type - docs.limesurvey.org/Question+type+-+Mult...tions+for+LimeSurvey

Woow!... that's quick!.. Thanks for such a quick response.

I chose the Multiple Numeric type but initially I was being requested to input 'subquestions'. But I discovered later on that under the Advanced Settings beneath the question there's then an option to activate the slider. Many thanks tpartner!.

Without your help we can't keep this project alive.

But how did you actually do it? I need exactly the same "layout" as yours but it doesn't work. I guess that I got something wrong with the "Subquestion text¦Left slider label¦Right slider label" thing.

Did you set a "Slider left/right text separator" - www.limesurvey.org/manual/Question_type_...8slider_separator.29 ?

In fact, I don't understand these instructions. Could you give me a concrete example how to fill in this box? Maybe with the male/female example from above?

Place a "pipe" character in the Slider left/right text separator field:


In the sub-question fields, separate your sub-question text, left text and right text with that character:

And here a working example.

Whenever I see the way that feature was implemented I ask myself if we can't just have a "Show left/right scale details" and if set we add two additional field on sub-question level to enter these details.
The current solution is pretty difficult to use. Maybe worth filing a feature request for LS 3...

I am having troubles with the slider labels. I followed the instruction in the manual and the labels are showing on each side of the slider, but they will also show up ugly on the subquestion title like this:

xxx | slider label 1 | slider label 2

I can't find a way to hide the title and just keep the slider labels. Can someone help me?

Thank you!
