I'm new to RSJoomla and I need a simple order form that will automatically calculate a price when the quantity is chosen in a dropdown.

I can make this work using a hidden field and then reporting the value in the Thank You message but I want the price to show on the order form BEFORE clicking the submit button.

Any help would be much appreciated! This must have been done zillions of times before, but I just don't know how.

I'm looking for the same kind of form function... did you already found a goof solution?

Hello,

You can refer to this two articles from our documentation where it is explained how you can make calculations using RSForm! Pro:

www.rsjoomla.com/customer-support/docume...-with-rsformpro.html

www.rsjoomla.com/customer-support/docume...up-calculations.html

And instead of using hidden fields, you can try using a text box field in which the total amount is stored.

I see the idea here but we don't want the total to be hidden because we want it to be populated with the total after you've selected price and quantity, not put into the thank you.

Hello,

You can download a RSForm! Pro calculation form example from here:

joomla-form.com/form-examples

You can restore the example and customize it the way you wish.

Hello,

Instead of using a hidden field you can simply use a normal text field. A example is illustrated in the example provided by my colleague.

Hi,

I'm new to this and trying to understand as I have one form to implement with calculations.

regarding this example: is it possible to show the total without pressing the calculate buttom? I mean the total field shows automatically when we enter the values in the other fields.

Thank you

Hello,

In order to trigger the script that calculates the total when you enter a new value in the field please try using "onkeyup". For example please try adding the following line in the additional attributes of the field:

onkeyup="function_name();"

found that page with google.
joomla-form.com/form-examples is not working.
