Hi,
I have a form where I have 3 fields (let's call them A, B, C)
The overall result is determined by a calculation between these three fields. So for example, A*B/C
I was wondering if this was possible and how I would go about it. I would need the result of the form passing through to the confirmation so I'd need it as a merge tag.
Cheers,
Steve
Sure, take a look at this form I put together: http://gravity.chrishajer.com/calculate-additional-rear-axle-load/
You can download a copy of that form here. Use the download or raw link, save the file to your computer's hard drive, and Import it into your Gravity Forms WordPress installation to see how it works.
Hi, that's great - thank you for the response.
I was just wondering... I don't want to see the calculation until after the submission page. What would be the best way to still have it added up, but hide the calculated number whilst the user is filling out the form. Is there something I can do in Gravity Forms or should I hide via CSS?
Cheers,
Steve
I would suggest hiding using CSS. Apply a class of hidden to the fields you don't want visible and in your theme's CSS just put:
.hidden { display: none; }
All my best.
You can also make the field "Admin Only". That's what I did with the calculation for the additional load in kg. It appears in the confirmation text and the admin notification, but it does not show to the visitor filling out the form. You can make this calculation field Admin Only as well and it won't show to the visitor unless you use the merge tag somewhere (like the confirmation text or notification email.)
Hi - relating to the above post.
I've created a calculating form using the above.
What I would like to have is no submit button but a reset button.
I'm creating a savings calculator so it shows the viewer immediately the result so I've no need.
Is there a way to disable / hide the submit or replace it with a reset?
Hope it's OK jumping in on this post.
Cheers
Pete
Pete, you could hide the submit button via CSS. For the Reset button, an easy way to do this would be to add an HTML standard field and put: <input type='reset' value='Reset'> within it.
If you inspect the page with chrome developer tools or firebug for firefox or simply view the source, you will see that each submit button has it's own unique ID, plus there are various other more specific ways to target it. If you have a link to your form I can point it out if you get stuck.
Hi Rob
Sorry I can't get my head round it.
If you could have a look at http://www.jensonecig.com/ I'd be really grateful.
I want to style the form and remove the submit button.
If you can show me how to identify the form in the style sheet I can get the rest.
Huge thanks
Pete
Hey Pete, no problem. Check out this Screenshot
So you would use:
[css]
#gform_submit_button_2 {
display: none;
}
