Overview

The slider field creates a slider where you can select a number by dragging a control.

This field uses jQuery UI library to create the UI.

Settings

Besides the common settings, this field has the following specific settings:

Name	Description
`prefix`	Text displayed before the field value. Optional.
`suffix`	Text displayed after the field value. Optional.
`js_options`	jQuery UI slider options. See here.

By default, Meta Box applies these default options for js_options:

Name	Value	Description
`range`	`min`	Create a range from the minimum value to one handle.
`value`	`$field['std']`	Set the default field value.

If you set range to true, then the plugin will saves 2 values in the database, separated by pipe (|) character, e.g. 15|90.

Sample code

array(
    'name' => 'Slider',
    'id'   => 'slider',
    'type' => 'slider',

    // Text labels displayed before and after value
    'prefix' => '$',
    'suffix' => ' USD',

    // jQuery UI slider options. See here http://api.jqueryui.com/slider/
    'js_options' => array(
        'min'   => 10,
        'max'   => 255,
        'step'  => 5,
    ),

    'std' => 150,
    // 'clone' => true,
),

Data

This field simply saves a single selected value (without the prefix and suffix) in the database.

If the field is cloneable, then the value is stored as a serialized array in a single row in the database.

Template usage

To get the field value, use the following code:

$value = rwmb_meta( $field_id );
echo $value;
