Hidden field for summed total in form

Permalink
I need to replicate a form where a user inputs values and the form sends the user values as well as a summed total of those values. Each field will have a value attached to it and this value is multiplied by the user's input.

For example:

Item1 = 1
Item2 = 0.25
Item3 = 0.95

So if the user enters

Item1 = 3
Item2 = 1
Item3 = 2

Then the form will calculate the total as

Item1 : 1 x 3 = 3
Item2 : 0.25 x 1 = 0.25
Item3 : 0.95 x 2 = 1.9
TOTAL = 5.15

So the form would send the user input as normal AND the total.

Any suggestions on whether the default form can do this? Maybe hidden fields?
Or whether I need to custom code one and if so then pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

This can be done using the External Form block. It would require custom code.

How many items would your form have?

Hi MrKD,

Thanks for the information. The form will have a lot of items. The original can be seen here:

Hi MrKD,

Just wondering if you can give me a pointer as to why I am getting an error with my external form.

When I click submit the form submits to

http://www.zesttas.com.au/clients/tasfurnituretransport/index.php/o...

but it shows a 404 for that url.

Any clues.

Cheers,
Dex

I can't tell much from the link.

Do you want to attach the external form as an attachment so others can look for issues?

Hi MrKD

I have attached the form and the controller file. Any suggestions are gladly welcome.

To all reading this post, the error seems to be identical to this one:

https://github.com/concrete5/concrete5/issues/2116...

Even if I copy the test_form over and use, the same redirect error occurs.

Does anybody know what causes this and if it was actually fixed or still a bug. I notice that the github bug post has been closed but there does not look to be any resolution to it??

I am currently running version 5.7.5.2.
