Add a configuration option for defining the labels

There's an old D5 CCK Time module http://drupal.org/project/cck_time that's soon to be updated to D6 that might make a good combo

Thanks Philip, I got the slider working after your recent beta2 update. I tested a slider with min & max of 0 & 288 to produce something equivalent to having a time input with 5 minute intervals for an entire day, and found it very easy, quick and accurate to specify a particular point. Thinking about it, decimal isn't strictly needed in the time scenario above as it could be solved with just a slight change to the calculation in the computed field.

However, it would be great to be able create labels for the individual slider points (similar to the select list above), with labels like 12:05pm for point 145 on the 0 to 288 time slider. This would mean that users could also build sliders with labels for height in feet and inches to set metric values, or slide days of the week, months of the year, have values 1,2,3 show as 100, 200, 300 etc so the user see text labels. but the info stores numerically

Hi Skilip,

Yep, I can see lots of uses for the text-only slider, but I think that labelled numeric fields would create lots of uses by storing the numeric part in the DB so you can then carry out calculations with computed fields etc. This would be similar to fivestar, where users could slide out different ratings for quality (text selection from very bad to very good), cost($,$$,$$$ etc), value (stars?) then total them all up at the bottom of the page to give an overall score

Lots of uses and a really nice way of getting visitors to interact with websites, rather than the ugly old drop-down menus
