I have a date field with just year - this is the year of publication. So it would be very good if I can use JQuery Slider in filters to choose years range, but it doesn't work now.

I don't see adding slider options for date fields, though I do want to add them to numeric fields. So, if you were to store your year-dates as integers using sliders would be an option. But using sliders for date fields is too much of edge-case.

Sorry.

Hi,

I would appreciate sliders for date fields as well. It there a way on how to achieve it?

Thank you, Martin.

Unless someone can show me a jQuery UI widget that does date fields as sliders, or a way to do Views' dates fields as integers, this will remain won't fix. Actually, it's more like "can't fix" since sliders work with integers and not date fields.

Feel free to reopen if you find a solution to either of the above.

could you convert a date to a unix timestamp and then use the jquery slider on it?
