Age Range Slider UI

[JohanParticipant 60 Posts @johan]

Hi

Can you please consider to have Age range as slider instead of select box or input value.
That’s the most ergonomic way to choose a range, especially on smartphone.

Hi @johan, @billdjango,

Thank you for your great feedback.
It would be indeed very nice as it would massively improve the homepage form and the search UX.

However, please note that your feature request is related with the improvement of a third party plugin, not our theme. As theme authors, feature development for third party plugins isn’t part of the support we will provide.

As this issue is related with the BP Profile Search, it’s best if you try to reach the plugin authors. They will be more suited to take charge of this request.

To go further, we invite you to post your request on their support forums:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-profile-search/

We remain available for all support requests related with the use of your theme.

Best,

Hi @themosaurusrex

I already did before posting this feature request

You can see my post and answer from Andrea on this link https://wordpress.org/support/topic/age-range-slider/

What does BP SEARCH FORM do to implement this feature ?

[OlivierParticipant 716 Posts @themosaurusrex]

@johan, almost everything. It finds the xProfile fields set in BuddyPress settings and create fields for its search forms. Our theme applies the same styles applied to WooCommerce and other forms for visual coherence.

Cheers,

Hi @themosaurusrex

I have requested Andrea (BP Profile Search) about age range slider, here’s his answer
Apparently there is no need to make any change at plugin level to have age range slider, it can be done in form template

If you look at the default form template (file bp-profile-search/templates/members/bps-form-default.php), the age range is implemented in lines 121-123.

The min and max values are sent to the server as ‘field_4_age_range[min]’ and ‘field_4_age_range[max]’ (replace 4 with the field ID of your field).

If you edit the template to implement a different UI, that’s fine, as long as you send the min and max values with the same name. No changes are needed to the plugin itself.

Please note that Gwangi provide their own BP Profile Search form templates, so you may want to edit those instead.
