Apex 5 slider

misurex

Hello,

I'm trying to put pieces altogether from various responses for how to create a slider in Apex, but for the version 5 I didn't find a viable solution.

I created a test page, using two solutions: Jari's Jari's APEX Blog : Article jQuery slider on APEX 3.x and Paavo's APEX5 supported slider, best approach?

But still, the slider isn't working (I want to use years as points on the slider, 3-4 years, so not a continuous range) . As a second question, is it possible to use text (from a table column, a limited number of values) to feed the slider (so not only numbers) ...

Thank you.

I logged into your workspace and fixed the javascript errors and added the missing elements in the plugin.  You can see the changes in Copy of Slider (IT-STAR).   Please mark any helpful or correct answers once verified.

Have you tried this plugin?

Hi Pmon,

No, I didn't, now I don't know the degree of customization for a plugin, doing it by hand is more suitable, I think. But I will give it a try, thank you.

Well, I think the plugin was made for Apex 4.x, in Apex 5 the control is invisible.

Their demo is on apex.oracle.com and that's version 5.  However, I look at the control in their demo and it is quite different from the plugin you installed.  Looks like it's missing style for the div and an anchor for the slider.  Not sure why this is.  You could try to copy the plugin to a new plugin and emulate what the demo is doing.  Or maybe you could try contacting the company that created the plugin and maybe they have an updated zip file.

I replaced your reference with that of Patrick and it works perfectly.

Thank you.
