Maybe nice and easy for submission and filter input: Increase and decrease values by clicking on up/down buttons ;-) Allowing min and max values. BTW, current Digits field seems to have no min/max limits, yet ?! Except for a certain digit range like 9, 99, 999. Which is not granular enough.

Nothing was included in Bootstrap, yet. But there are many other solutions and plugins out there... also HTML5 input types. Terms used for this input method:

  • step input
  • numeric stepper
  • spinner

Examples - Appearance:

Examples and Solutions: - Stepper by Ben Plum - Spinner Fuel UX plugin - HTML5 Input types, min max, range. (not well supported, yet. ugly and tiny, but with keyboard support)

This should run in C7 and C8, right ?!

Right but C7 is Mootools and C8 jQuery. We cannot use the same spinner. We do not want to load jQuery in Joomla 2.5. We do not want to create 2 different spinners one for C7 and one for C8.

just noticed that the field has no limit settings. Very crucial and basic, IMHO.

Even Cobalt 8 seems to have NO field input limits, nor validation? Why is this?

In text field you can limit input by using mask.

Do we get an update in C8? Still very crucial, IMHO. Digits field is really cool and useful, because of range sliders in filters. But form submission has no MIN/MAX limits.

BTW, initial filter displays no min/max values. They are empty on first page load. The user has to drag one slider to see the current min/max values. Looks a bit strange.

But form submission has no MIN/MAX limits.

Shouldn't it be a backend field parameter?

Or should it be done as Script and validation in form submission template? i.e. Stepper by Ben Plum

Stepper is nice I think.
