I am not able to set up a range slider by video length

Hi team,

I am building a website to sell videos. I wish customers to be able to use range sider to pick up the video length they want. I don’t know how to do it, and search through the forum, nobody did this before.

I hope you could recommend a meta key to put video length in, or suggest a plugin if the current setting cannot make this happen.

Some other info: I am using Elementor pro to set up the page.

Cheers
Xiaoli

If these are ACF fields, When selecting the meta key, note a ‘gotcha’ with ACF ….

… it makes 3 meta keys per field, like this (in this example for a field named ‘land’):

#1 _land
#2 field_52f0fc4334f52
#3 land

In our Meta Key selection list, you need to use key #3, without the underscore at the start of the key name. If you choose #1 by mistake, in the field choices you will see the name of #2.

Looking at the form, you appear to have chosen ones starting with an underscore?

Hi Trevor，I am not using custom field actually. As my product is video，I need to select a field under “product” to input video length but I have not figured out how and where.
Video length should be in format like 10:30 which means 10 minutes and 30 seconds. By any chance I could do that？

You have this data stored already? It would have to either be, in that example:

630 seconds, or
10.5 minutes

As our plugin does not filter time (hours, minutes, etc) on a range control (it can do only date or number).

I think it might be much easier to have the data stored as a text label:

0-5 minutes
5-10 minutes
10-15 minutes, etc.

Hi Trevor，if I use 10.5 minutes for example in some field under product，Can it be filtered by a range slider？And if so，could you please tell me where I should put this info into？Tag Category attributes or description？

Appreciate that

You woukld need to add a ‘Number’ Custom field, for example using a plugin like the free Advanced Custom Fields plugin. It can’t be in Tag, Category. I assume you are using WooCommerce products?

That is not so. ACF can add fields to all Post Types, premade or not.

Hi Trevor, I logged a case with ACF and finally get it done, it needs some codes to make it work.

But, I found another issue, I cannot find the meta key in search and filter for the field I created.
I created a field named “test” under woo-commerce product, may I know by what name I should look for that meta key?

Cheers
