CalcBuilder Forum

Hello,
this can be done with this simple code. Let's say you named your input fields this way:


qta1
qta2
qta3
qta4

and you already created your input form with these fields inside.


At the code section, you will need something like this:

$price1=37;
$price2=38;
$price3=39;
$price4=40.15;

//this are the configurable prices.And then we'll calculate subtotals:

$subtotal1=$qta1*$price1;
$subtotal2=$qta2*$price2;
$subtotal3=$qta3*$price3;
$subtotal4=$qta4*$price4;

//all subtotals added together, will do the final total

$total=$subtotal1+$subtotal2+$subtotal3+$subtotal4;

Now you can configure your output at the output layout, you can print any input, intermediate of final result inside the output html, using ##total## sintax. You can try this for the output:

You inserted at qta1 field the value ##qta1## and the result of the line is ##subtotal1##. The total is ##total##

You can arrange your results as needed using the output editor.

Hope this helps, regards

Hello,
with the solution we gave you the admin would write the voices and prices from the backend, using form layout, that way user would see prices as plain text. The prices would be constants for the calculator code, so they would be used also there to calculate prices and show the results (but below the form).

But if you want to get rid of the calculate button and show the results inline the input form, or even create a dynamic input table (for example the admin can create a option list from backend with texts/prices, that input list be included at form layout (hidden), and perform some js code that turns that options into a full functional table with texts/prices/input fields and dynamic results). All can be done with calcbuilder, but you will need at least an average level of javascript to get that result.

If you want us to build that kind of code, please note we also have available a custom calculator service, for which we send the calculator ready to import. Think your calculator would fit into standard service quote, if you let us know which is your preferred approach, we'll confirm that if you are interested.

Thank you, best regards
