Form that Adds Up Totals - Advice Needed
Permalink
I need to have a simple order form setup. The one nuisance of it is that no money will actually exchange hands over this order form, it is only a way of collecting what they want and their contact info.
The eCommerce options (ie Vivid's Store Addon) won't work for this because there needs to be an option for add ons to the main selections, something that will only be an add on for a particular product.
I got this to work on the default form, however my boss has requested that the form add up the price for everything, which the default form can't do (as far as I am aware). He referred back to his old system (Wordpress and Gravity Forms) as GF could do that.
I would assume that each option in the form would have an attribute which would hold the price. At the bottom of the form, there would be a running total that would automatically add up all the checked items. The question I have, is this something C5 can do, or do I need to bring in a custom coded form option.
Thanks!

How many items are for sale?
If there aren't a ton of items, you should be able to to do this using the External Form block (without resorting to attributes). This will require some custom coding.
The math for the totals and entry validation can be done using jQuery.
