jrowny commentedThese are not duplicates, this module is a "transfer" slider. It has two values, subtracts from one and gives to the other. That's not what either Elements nor sliderfield do.

andypostI know that all modules has differences so as suggestion all of them should point to each other
From UX side all of them are using same control with 1 or 2 values so it's hard to understand which module should be used for which case
EDIT there's already mentions about difference
#1263616-4: jQuery UI form elements?
#1237668-12: sliderfield
Comment #3
jrowny commentedI just think the use case for this is too unique. Yes, they use the same control, but they have different functions. I agree that there should be consolidation of input widgets, and maybe those will work best in the elements module. But I don't agree that we should cram every kind of functionality into it... maybe this module could extend the elements module.
Another issue would be that elements module does not provide any widgets. If farhadhf 's patch is accepted I can use the elements module for sliderfield, but unless elements also wants to provide widgets, then you'd still need the sliderfield module and you'd still need this module.

sinasalek commentedI'm trying to merge all slider modules into one since almost all of them are based on Jquery UI Slider.
I merge my own module jslider_field as a new major version 2 on http://drupal.org/project/sliderfield.
I also included this module , the element name is still the same so users can easily migrate
I appreciate if you put a note on module's page helping users to find the latest solution, i did the same on my own module's page http://drupal.org/project/jslider_field
