В данной статье рассмотрим создание калькулятора с применением плагина с ограниченным бесплатным функционалом. Конечно платный функционал намного интереснее, но для многих сложных расчетов (будь-то ипотечный кредит или расчет стоимости отеля в зависимости от даты заезда или просто расчет платных услуг с различными условиями) вполне подходит.
Самый подходящий плагин с невероятными возможностями:
Главное преимущество данного плагина состоит в том, что все расчеты можно производить с помощью JavaScript. С одной стороны это определенная сложность, с другой стороны это огромная гибкость в сложных расчетах с зависимыми данными.
Так же у плагина имеются предустановленные стили (дизайны) формы. А по умолчанию используется просто чистая форма, при встраивании которой берутся стили темы сайта.
Как создать калькулятор с непростыми условиями расчетов
- Прописываем идентификатор будущей формы, жмем создать
- Переходим в настройки формы
- Добавляем нужные нам поля
5. В самих полях есть много параметров, самые используемые:
- значение по умолчанию
- диапазон
- допустимый макс./мин.
- отображение дополнительных скрытых (зависимых) полей, в случае выбора пунктов определенных полей (чекбоксов или радиобаттон)
- скрытие полей
4. Оранжевый цветом выделено главное поле итоговых рассчетов, именно в нем можно прописывать расчеты с помощью JavaScript. Каждая ячейка имеет уникальное имя Fieldname1. Для удобства, в самом начале написания кода я создаю список переменных с удобочитаемым именем.
Так же именно в этом поле есть отличный встроенный редактор кода
На заметку. полноценно JS использовать не получится. Может я чего-то не доглядел, но у меня не вышло воспользоваться конструкцией switch case.
Представленные шаблоны стилей плагина находятся по следующему пути: /public_html/wp-content/plugins/calculated-fields-form/templates
Мне очень понравился один из стилей, единственно что мне нужно было, так это вычленить из стиля оформление кнопки, что я и сделал. Следующим этапом оставалось придумать каким образом этот стиль теперь подключить.
Добавить свой стиль дублировав папку понравившегося стиля у меня не получилось. В этой папке есть ini файл, в котором определено название класса и описание стиля. Модификация ini файла не привела к успеху, да и сомнителен такой способ, т.к. при обновлении плагина, все наши правки неминуемо слетят.
Выход найден:
- Берем понравившийся стиль
- Модифицируем его
- Удаляем из всех селекторов имя класса стиля со всего кода
(смотрим в FAQ плагина и читаем какие селекторы на что влияют)
- копируем оставшийся код и вставляем его в поле пользовательского стиля, которое находится в настройках формы
Думаю легко догадаться, что шаблоны стилей можно посмотреть и выбрать из них понравившиеся моменты. Незначительные правки можно прямо в стиле переопределить, как я и поступил с выводом итогового расчета увеличив размер и цвет текста.
В завершении хотелось бы сказать, что бесплатных функций более, чем достаточно, но всё же не хватает кнопки отправить расчеты формы менеджеру. Здесь есть небольшой лайфак, калькулятор позволяет добавить кнопку печати расчета, ну и в целом при желании с этими расчетами клиент может сам прийти в офис для предметного разговора.
Если у вас появились вопросы, пишите в комментариях, чем смогу помогу.
Обычно в тексте описания я пишу какую-то вводную мысль, вроде «этот плагин вам нужен за тем-то за тем-то», или «есть такая вот проблема и плагин из этой статьи ее решает». Во-первых, такой подход мне несколько наскучил, а во-вторых, вариантов проблем которые потенциально может решить наш сегодняшний подопытный слишком много — введение получится просто невменяемых размеров, поэтому я его опущу в этой статье.
Также я назову плагин на обзоре сразу — это Calculated Fields. Обычно я этого не делаю чтобы держать небольшую интригу, но не сегодня, потому что чтобы с ним разобраться в любом случае придется почитать эту статью, а еще желательно посмотреть видео про него (есть в конце статьи). Итак, поехали.

Calculated Fields: устнановка и активация
Как я уже сказал, плагин с помощью которого можно создать калькулятор на WordPress называется Calculated Fields. Он доступен в публичном репозитории WordPress, поэтому процесс его установки и настройки мало чем отличается от других размещенных там плагинов:
- Вы можете скачать плагин из репозитория на официальном сайте WordPress и загрузить его из административной панели в разделе «Плагины»;
- Либо вы можете перейти в раздел «Плагины», воспользоваться кнопкой «Добавить новый» и поиском по репозиторию и найти в нем Calculated Fields (на момент написания этой статьи у него порядка 60.000 активных установок). Когда нашли, устанавливаем и активируем.
Calculated Fields: настройки
Что ж, переходим к настройкам плагина. Я не буду пошагово создавать какой-то определённый калькулятор, так как уже сделал это в моем видео-обзоре этого плагина (еще один и последний раз напоминаю, что видео находится в самом низу статьи), вместо этого я сделаю подробный обзор настроек плагина со всеми нужными для работы с ним пояснениями.
Первое — после установки и активации, наш плагин появляется в административной панели и имеет отельную вкладку. Стоит упоминания, так как с большинством плагинов приходится мучиться и искать настройки плагина (во вкладке настройке, из раздела плагины и тд). Давайте посмотрим как выглядят настройки:
- Серая стрелочка — где находятся настройки;
- Синяя стрелочка — ваши калькуляторы (по умолчанию плагином создается 5 различных форм, демонстрирующую большинство возможностей плагина);
- Красная стрелочка — добавление нового калькулятора (что бы добавить его, нужно назвать элемент, выбрать категорию (опционально) и нажать кнопку «добавить»).
Теперь, когда мы прошлись по первой странице и поняли как добавить новый калькулятор, давайте перейдем к странице (настройкам) калькулятора. Выглядит она следующим образом:
Самое время упомянуть: форма калькулятора создается методом «драг энд дроп», иными словами, простым перетаскиванием элементов внутри рабочей области. При этом к самим внутренним элементам нужно применять свои собственные настройки: заголовок, подпись, значение и значение значения (разберемся с тем что это такое чуть-чуть позже).
Красным на картинке выше выделена область, где можно найти все возможные элементы для добавления в ваш калькулятор. Их действительно много, что означает широкий набор возможностей и не может не радовать. Давайте вкратце разберем основные элементы доступные для добавления в калькулятор:
- Number — это поле с помощью которого вы можете предложить пользователю ввести число, внутри можно настроить диапазон числа (например: от 0 до 100), сделать это поле типом «range» (например: от 10 до 20 в диапазоне от 0 до 100) и добавить другие настройки;
- Checkboxes — добавляет чекбоксы в форму. Можно выбрать их количество, значения и значения значения (например: В чекбоксе можно выбрать «да» и «нет», а их значения будут равны «0» и «1» соответсвенно). Кроме этого чекбоксы можно настроить на одиночный выбор, либо множественный;
- Dropdown — добавляет выпадающий список, настройки внутри похожи на настройки Checkboxes;
- Radio Buttons — добавляет опциональный выбор. В отличие от Checkboxes, тут нельзя настроить множественный выбор. Второе отличие от Checkboxes — внешний вид. При этом остальные настройки остаются такими же как у Checkboxes;
- Slider — аналог ввода числа (упомянутого выше), но в приятном виде слайдера. Настройки такие же как у поля Number;
- Page Break — создает разрыв страницы (калькулятор делится на количество страниц, равное количеству добавленных разрывов). Полезная штука, что бы ваш калькулятор не выглядел бесконечным;
- Summary — это поле которое показывает результат вычислений. Есть несколько настроек: отключить показ результата до полного прохождения всех шагов в калькуляторе, возможность ввести свое число из фронтэнда для пользователя и тд. Самая важная вещь в настройках — это алгоритм вычислений, его мы разберем чуть позже;
- Email, Phone, Button, GDPR — эти элементы нужны, если вы хотите попросить (или предложить) пользователя отправить результат вычислений вам (вместе с контактными данными пользователя).
Вроде бы я не упустил ничего важного (если так — обязательно спросите меня в комментариях к статье). Остальные поля нужны для очень специфичных калькуляторов, которые я не пытался создавать в процессе подготовки материала (и даже представить себе не смог).
Зеленым на картинке выше показа область, где вы собственно и можете упомянутым методом «драг энд дроп» создавать калькулятор. Нажав на элемент внутри, вы можете открыть его настройки. Что бы удалить элемент, вам также нужно нажать на него и в правом нижнем углу элемента нажать на иконку «крестик».
Теперь давайте рассмотрим не самые заметные настройки. Точнее будет сказать не рассмотрим, а просто сделаем небольшое замечание о том, где найти кое-какие дополнительные настройки. Давайте уже перейдем к ним:
В самом верху (этот скрин сделан ниже предыдущего на странице настроек плагина) находятся кнопки сохранения и предпросмотра. Воспользуйтесь ими, что бы не потерять созданный калькулятор и просмотреть внесенные изменения без выхода со страницы настроек соответсвенно.
Далее у нас вся оставшаяся часть настроек связана с переводом. Это очень удобно и означается что вам не придётся пользоваться специальными плагинами для перевода этого.
В самом же низу страницы находятся платные опции (весь описанный выше и далее функционал бесплатные). Они все связаны с деньгами — добавления оплаты в калькулятор и другие подобные опции.
Как происходит расчет?
Я решил выделить это небольшое пояснение в отдельную главу ввиду ее практической важности. Выше я уже упомянул, что математические операции доступны в элементе «Summary». Без его добавления не появится расчет. Вот так выглядят его настройки:
Слева мы можем видеть общие настройки поля по порядку: заголовок, подпись, название поля (техническое), размер, максимально и минимальное значение, чекбоксы кастомизации и в самом низу — поле вычисления. Давайте подробнее разберем последнюю настройку, если ее можно такой назвать.
Для упрощенного понимания: в это поле нам требуется ввести названия других полей (которые вы хотите чтобы участвовали в конечном расчете) и между ними поставить какие-то знаки математических операций. Пример того что мы вписываем в это поле:
- Возьмем за a, b, c и d наши поля;
- Мы хотим что бы все числа умножилась между собой, в этом случае нам требуется вписать такую формулу в поле «Summary»:
- a*b*c*d;
- Никаких равно нам вписывать не нужно, плагин все посчитает сам и выведен на экран во фронтэнде.
Давайте разберем пример со всеми теми же переменными, но только теперь мы хотим множество a и b складывалось с множеством c и d. В этом случае пример будет выглядеть так:
- (a*b)+(c*d)
Таким образом можно сделать вывод: внешний вид математического примера, который нужно вписать в поле «Summary», должен выглядеть также, как и реальный математический пример, где переменные — это названия других полей, которые участвуют в вычислении. Все доступные операции можно увидеть на второй картинке в изображении выше. Большая часть их них понятны:
- * — умножение;
- / — деление;
- + — сложение;
- – — вычитание;
- ( и ) — взятие в скобки;
- ROUND — округление;
- SIN/COS — синус и косинус соответсвенно.
С остальными я предлагаю вам разобраться самим в случае необходимости. И на этом все, надеюсь что видео внизу поможет вам разобраться с остальными нюансами плагина и его настроек. Подписывайтесь на блог, что бы не пропускать свежие статьи и новости (сделать это можно в верху сайдбара справа). Удачи!

Calculated Fields Form
Видео по статье
The «Calculated Fields Form» plugin allows you to create web forms with calculated fields, whose values are dynamically calculated based on other fields’ values in the web form.
The possibilities are unlimited. For example, you can create forms with financial calculations, date operations to create reservation forms, and calculate the product prices. The plugin includes text operations for editing, translation, or advertising services. There are more advanced operations available such as determining the distance between addresses or generating graphs. The resulting forms are 100% mobile responsive.
The most impressive thing is that you don’t need to hire a programmer to create the forms. With basic knowledge, you will have a professional form in just five minutes.
Creating a form is all visual. The «Calculated Fields Form» plugin includes a form editor with multiple controls. Such as text fields, numeric fields, currency fields, slider controls, email fields, radio buttons, checkboxes, container fields, page breaks to create multipage forms, QR code reader (thanks to the Html5-QRCode project), recording, and most importantly, calculated fields.
The form editor includes a list of controls, a property bar to easily edit field properties, a dashboard where you can design your forms, and the attributes for form configuration. Also, the plugin comes with multiple predefined layouts to change the forms’ appearance. If there are not enough predefined layouts for your project, there is a style editor to customize the form’s design.
The «Calculated Fields Form» plugin includes integration with popular page builders:
- Classic WordPress Editor
- Gutenberg Editor
- Elementor
- Page Builder by SiteOrigin

Please keep the plugin updated. Updates contain bug fixes as well as new features. The WordPress directory distributes the updates for the free version of the plugin. But for commercial versions, it would be necessary to register your copy of the plugin. The following link describes the registration process: CLICK HEREThis section mainly contains notes on features of the form builder that are too detailed to include in the main description.
Conditional rules
It is possible to show or hide form fields (dependent fields) based on the options selected in checkbox fields, radio buttons, the options selected in dropdown menus, or the result of calculated fields.
The value of a dependent field is zero when it is hidden/disabled. The plugin excludes the disabled form fields from the submission.
Additional details about the use of dependencies
Predefined values
The predefined values in the fields have two possible uses:
1- To fill the field by default. This makes it easier for the end-user to enter values.
2- Hint of the values to be entered in the field (like «Enter your name»). To use the predefined value as a placeholder, you must tick the «Hide predefined value on click» checkbox. The value will disappear once the user starts filling in the field. The calculated fields’ equations ignore placeholders.
The «User Instructions» attribute
The «User instructions» attribute in the field settings allows you to instruct the user on how to fill in the field. By default, the instructions appear as smaller text on the public website. But they can be configured as tooltips.
Adding CSS layout keywords
The «Add CSS layout keywords» attribute in the fields settings allows you to apply CSS styles to fields. You must only enter the name of the CSS class names, and not their definitions.
You can define the CSS classes via the «Customize Form Design» attribute in the «Form Settings» tab. This attribute contains a CSS editor with syntax highlighting and error checking.
If you want to assign several class names to the field, separate them by space characters.
The plugin includes multiple predefined classes that you can assign to the form fields.
More information about the form’s design can be found by reading the following post in the plugin’s blog:
Customizing the form’s design
The classes listed below allow you to align two, three, or four fields on the same line:
column2
column3
column4
For example, if you want to put two fields on the same line, give both fields the class name «column2».
There are other variants for displaying several fields on the same line, such as container fields (Div or Fieldset). Container fields allow you to select the number of columns in your configuration. The following post describes all the alternatives for positioning the fields in the form:
Formatting the form (distributing the fields in columns)
Multi-page form
To create multi-page forms, you must insert «Page break» controls between fields belonging to different pages.
When the user presses the «Next Page» button, the plugin validates the fields in the current form. If there is any validation error (such as an unfilled required field), the plugin stops the «Next page» action.
Hidden calculated fields
Calculated fields include a checkbox in the configuration that allows them to be hidden from the public website. This feature is essential in those fields that are used to calculate intermediate values or when we want to show the results only in emails or thank you pages.
Equation / Formula format for calculated fields
Below, some possible formulas are included as examples, but the possibilities are endless.
-
With simple mathematical operations:
fieldname1 + fieldname2 fieldname1 * fieldname2 fieldname1 / fieldname2 fieldname1 - fieldname2 fieldname1 - fieldname2
-
With mathematical operations involving multiple fields and grouped fields:
fieldname1 * (fieldname2 + fieldname3)
-
With rounding operations. Round the result to two decimal places:
PREC(fieldname2 / fieldname3, 2)
-
There are infinite number of formulas that can be created using complex structures. For example, the following formula includes conditional statements:
(function () { if (100 < fieldname3) return fieldname1 + fieldname2; if (fieldname3 <= 100) return fieldname1 * fieldname2; })();
-
For complex formulas/equations you must use the function format with return statement to return the result to the calculated field:
(function () { var result = 0; /* Your code here */ return result; }) ();
Operations and operators to use in equations/formulas
One of the «Calculated Fields Form» strengths is the ability to use any valid JavaScript code to implement the equations/formulas.
However, the plugin includes a wide variety of operations and operators to simplify the development process.
Mathematical Operations and Operators
Conditional Operations
Field Handling Operations
Operations for interacting with external services
Operations for handling URLs and query strings
In addition to the operation modules listed above, the Developer and Platinum versions of the plugin include additional modules:
Date Time Operations
Financial Operations
Distance and Travel Time Operations
Operations to generate charts
Controls available in the form generator of the «Calculated Fields Form»
The complete list of controls is available from this link: CLICK HERE
Create JavaScript variables from parameters received by «GET» or «POST», «SESSION» variables, or «COOKIES» to use in the equations
The plugin includes the shortcode [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_VAR] to generate JavaScript variables from parameters received by «GET» or «POST», «SESSION» variables, or «COOKIES»:
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_VAR name="..."]
In the shortcode, you must replace the «…» symbols with the name of the parameter or variable. It will be the same name for the JavaScript variable.
For example:
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_VAR name="varname"]
You can use the variables generated through the shortcode [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_VAR] in the formulas of the calculated fields: fieldname1*varname
The complete list of parameters accepted by the variables shortcode is available at the following link: CLICK HERE
Tips for calculating prices
One of the most frequent uses of our plugin is for price calculation. When displaying the price of a product, you may want to split the form into two pages. The first page would request the information needed to calculate the price, and the second page would include the calculated field with the final price. Also, you could use the «Instruct. Text» fields to indicate the terms, conditions, and validity period of the offer.
Note that you can make the «Instruct. Text» fields dependent on the calculated value. This allows you to vary the text displayed to the user depending on the calculated price, as the terms, conditions, or offers often depend on the transaction amount.
ClassicPress
This plugin is compatible with ClassicPress.
Add-ons
The add-ons are only distributed with the Developer and Platinum versions of the plugin.
The plugin lists the add ons in the «Add-ons area» of the settings page. To enable the add-ons, you must tick their corresponding checkbox and press the «Activate/Deactivate Add-ons» button.
Server-Side Equations add-on — included in the Developer and Platinum versions of the plugin
Define equations with PHP code on the server-side. The calculated fields call the server-side equations via AJAX.

Одним из наиболее распространенных типов плагинов в каталоге WordPress.org является конструктор форм. Из форм гравитации, форм кальдеры, клубнелуковиц ниндзя, Отправить запрос 7 и т. д., выбор у вас почти безграничен. Однако не все конструкторы форм одинаковы. Каждый разработчик фокусируется на немного различном пользовательском опыте и наборе функций. Это затрудняет выбор оптимального варианта. Если вы ищете плагин с условной логикой, который может обрабатывать столько же сложных формул, сколько и вычислений, Вычисляемые поля формы выделяется среди других.
Вычисляемые поля формы
Форма Calculated Fields не только выделяется своей полезностью, но также является одним из лучших плагинов, совместимых с Gutenberg (редактором блоков WordPress), расположенным в репозитории плагинов. Одно только это стоит проверить, потому что, хотя редактор блоков включен по умолчанию, не все плагины, которые вы найдете, интегрированы в новую экосистему.
Плагин также полностью совместим с классическим редактором (и конструкторами страниц, такими как Дива, для начала), поэтому независимо от того, как вы создаете свой сайт, форма вычисляемых полей будет работать с ним. Мы упоминаем об этом, потому что вы не всегда уверены, что данный плагин будет работать повсеместно. Итак, поскольку CFF был протестирован с редактором блоков, классическим редактором и построителями страниц, мы подумали, что об этом стоит упомянуть.
Некоторые из функций, о которых стоит упомянуть, — это именно то, что вы можете рассчитать с помощью плагина. Поскольку это не просто плагин для Контактная форма, у вас будут очень конкретные варианты использования. Некоторые из наиболее важных функций включают в себя
- конструктор визуальных форм
- представление и хранение баз данных
- условные и логические правила
- неограниченное количество вычисляемых полей
- принять оплату из самой формы (через PayPal) после выполнения необходимых расчетов
- несколько типов полей (радио, раскрывающийся список, флажок и т. д.)
- зависимые поля
- многостраничные формы
- несколько предопределенных шаблонов
- сортировать по значению
- отключить форму для поисковых систем
- простые или расширенные варианты расчета (обычные математические и троичные операторы)
Конфигурация
Установка SBB проста. Доступ к репозиторию WordPress плагины.org, скачать плагин SBB , затем загрузите его из пункта меню Плагины — Добавить новые в панели управления WP. После этого вы заметите новую опцию формы рассчитанные поля в вашей боковой панели.
Если вы заметили, что из 4 представленных вам вариантов, только один является действительной ссылкой на настройки. Ссылка на документации открывается на веб-сайт разработчика и базу знаний. Ссылкаонлайн-помощь позволяет получить доступ к форуму поддержки WP.org. Обновление … ну нужно обновление Niveau перейти от бесплатной версии к премиум-версии.
Этот плагин, обладающий такой большой мощностью, довольно прост в использовании, требуется настроить только одну страницу настроек / параметров. Это действительно впечатляет. Конечно, фактические параметры устанавливаются форма за формой, но многие плагины вычисляемых полей могут быть ошеломляющими, и первоначальная простота этого делает его доступным.
Создать формы
Бесплатная версия (о которой мы поговорим здесь) поставляется с образцами форм 5, из которых вы можете дублировать и редактировать свои собственные спецификации или, если они окажутся нужными, использовать как есть.
- Простые операции
- Расчет с датами (для календаря бронирования и т. Д.)
- Калькулятор идеального веса
- Калькулятор беременности
- Арендный калькулятор
Вы видите каждый из них сразу после загрузки этой страницы. Вы можете добавить короткий код прямо в любое место, где отображаются короткие коды, и вы занимаетесь бизнесом. Вы также можете нажать Cloner дублировать форму и изменять уже выполненные расчеты с помощью кнопки Параметры .
Под этим списком находится кнопка Новая форма , который при использовании просто добавляет новую опцию в конец списка форм выше.
Независимо от того, сколько форм вы хотите, просто пометьте
Редактирование форм
Какую бы форму вы не хотели редактировать, нажмите Параметры переводит вас в визуальный редактор этой формы. Поскольку мы начали новый, мы собираемся взглянуть на чистый холст.
Все, что вам нужно сделать, это нажать на элемент слева, и он появится справа. На этом этапе вы можете перетащить его в желаемое место формы.
Щелкните в новом поле справа. Вкладка слева изменится с Добавить поле для настройки поля .
Каждое поле имеет немного другую страницу параметров, но универсальная страница ном du поле, метка для сообщения . Не говоря уже о тупой метке, это переменная, которую вы вставите для ссылки на значение этого поля во всех добавляемых вами вычислениях.
Когда вы закончите настройку всех необходимых вам полевых настроек, Параметры du формаобъясняется достаточно хорошо. Вы настроите общие параметры формы, такие как выравнивание, сохранение файлов cookie, создание шаблона, CSS и т. Д.
Когда вы достигнете этой точки (или в любое время раньше), Вы должны нажать Сохранить изменения . Если вы этого не сделаете, вы проиграете Toute настройки, которые вы сделали. В конструкторе форм вычисляемых полей нет автоматической записи . Итак, что бы вы ни делали, нажимайте Сохранить изменения .
Это вернет вас на главную страницу, но вы сможете снова быстро отредактировать. Это намного проще, чем потерять свой прогресс при настройке расчета. (В этом случае учитесь на наших ошибках.)
Дополнительные параметры формы — текст и проверка
Под кнопкой Сохранить изменения, вы найдете вторичный набор параметров и опций формы.
Многие люди будут очень мало использовать эти настройки. Вы настраиваете текст метки под Определите тексты , выбирая, что пользователи видят на кнопках и нумерации страниц Прецеденты et после .
С параметры проверки , вы определяете, нужно ли вам проверять записи (это настоящее электронное письмо? Он поместил текст в числовое поле?) или нет. Если вы решите, что хотите использовать проверку (скорее всего, так и сделаете), вы можете использовать этот раздел для редактирования альтернативного текста, который увидят ваши пользователи. Как правило, текст по умолчанию работает и сообщает пользователю, какая информация действительна для расчета.
В некоторых случаях вам может потребоваться конкретизация или использование жаргона или отраслевых терминов, и именно тогда это поле настроек становится наиболее полезным. Однако, скорее всего, вы не будете его использовать и, вероятно, ничего не должны менять. Это классный случай если не сломано, не чини .
Конечный продукт
Найти? Продукт? Это математическая шутка. Потому что мы делаем расчеты.
В любом случае, когда вы нажмете «Сохранить» и увидите свою форму во всей красе, вы должны увидеть что-то похожее на это в конструкторе форм:
И как-то так на живом сайте:
Последняя форма выше использовала шаблон 2, определенный на вкладке Параметры du форма .
Используйте с Гутенбергом
Выше мы упоминали, что форма вычисляемых полей совместима с редактором блоков. Поэтому мы хотели уделить немного времени, чтобы показать вам, как легко использовать их вместе. Для начала вам все равно нужно будет выполнить те же шаги, что и выше, чтобы создать формы и получить вычисления в нужных местах.
После этого откройте в редакторе блоков пост или страницу, в которую нужно вставить форму. Нажмите кнопку с кружком +, чтобы добавить новый блок, перейдите к разделу Форма Расчетные поля И нажмите Вставить SBB .
Затем посмотрите правую часть экрана под настройками блокировки. Вы можете использовать раскрывающееся меню Виды для выбора нужной вам формы. Затем блок CFF будет обновляться в реальном времени.
Чтобы внести изменения в форму, вы всегда должны использовать построитель визуальных форм выше. Но вставка и стилизация с помощью редактора блоков настолько проста.
Резюме
Как видите, плагин Formular Fields Form может делать невероятно мощные вещи. Даже в бесплатной версии. Если вы решите выполнить обновление, вы получите еще более надежные функции, но для многих бесплатная версия будет достаточно мощной, чтобы выполнять все вычисления и условия, необходимые их пользователям. Как мы уже говорили выше, в репозитории есть почти бесконечное количество плагинов форм, но мы считаем, что вычисляемая форма поля один из лучших вариантов . Особенно, если вы не покупаете строителя Контактная форма.
Приветствую читателей, в статье про калькулятор для вордпресс сайтов. Владельцам коммерческого ресурса на wordpress необходим простой в настройке калькулятор стоимости продукции. Протестировал около десятка вариантов, я разочаровался что не могу найти простое решение проблемы, потому что:
- Встраивание функции через изменение function сложное, нестабильные и неудобное
- Платные просят помесячную оплату
- Сервисы часто отказывают в работе
- Бесплатные лагают
Бесплатный плагин WPcalc
Обратившись к хорошему знакомому, посоветовал для вордпресс плагин WPcalc. Это единственное вменяемое решение, остальное вытягивание денег. Устанавливаете и переходим к настройке первого калькулятора на сайте вордпресс.
Основная настройка
Сделаем для расчёта стоимости линолеума, то есть длину умножаем на ширину и на цену 1 квадратного метра за определённый сорт. Заходим в wpcalc и добавляем новый пункт, тут же появляется первое поле зададим длину.
- Сам WPcalc
- Для добавления нового калькулятора нажимаем Add New
- пишем название (на сайте не отображается)
- Заголовок раздела, если не хотите его отображать снимите галочку (первый длинна второй ширина)
- Тип отображения их пять: checkbox, радио кнопка, ввод числа, селект (выбор из предложенного) и вывод результата
- Длинна поля в долях. Например если хотим сделать чтобы дина и ширина были в одну строчку, выставляем у обоих 1/2 то есть на каждое поле по половине пространства.
- Правило, нам нужно number (числа), если будут введены буквы, то калькулятор выдаст ошибку
- Placeholder заполняет поле когда в нём нет значений. Value уже введённое значение, что даёт неудобство, пользователю приходится стирать и печатать свои значения, не советую заполнять
- Add new field, добавляет новое поле в вордпресс.
С цифровыми полями разобрались теперь надо прописать тип линолеума и цену за каждый квадратный метр. Для этого жмём кнопку Add new field и добавляем, например, «выбор расцветки»
- Для выбора задаем параметр select
- Value — то что будет считаться в калькуляторе, Text — отображаемый текст
- какой пункт будет выделен по умолчанию
- Чтобы добавить ещё форму (черный например), жмём эту ссылку
Все параметры задали, вывод и подсчёт производиться добавлением нового Field, просто надо выставить result, смотрим ниже.
В параметре Item type выставляем Result. В разделе Formula вводим формулу для расчёта, у нас все три значения перемножаются, пример станет такого вида field_1*field_2*field_3. Чтобы вывести посчитанное на экран нужно применить комбинацию {result} в поле результата, я для примера выставил ещё пару строк. В общем калькулятор настроен и готов к работе, в правой колонке сохраняем результат и копируем шорт код.
При вводе формулы элементы помечаем с нижним подчеркиванием и номером раздела. На странице инструмента в wordpress.org есть дополнения по применению математических операторов.
Идём в любую запись или страницу вордпресс, и в удобном месте вставляем шорткод. Перейдя на сайт увидим результат работы. Подсчёт идёт автоматически, при корректном заполнении всех форм.
Можно рассчитать любую задачу, например стоимость работ по отделке помещения, так же рассчитать площадь и умножить на цену квадрата. Все простые математические действия доступны.
Советуем прочитать:
- Как сделать пагинацию в вордпресс
- Создание календарей
- Без кодирования вставляем таблицы в статьи
Внешний вид
У данного инструмента есть настройка визуально части, перейдя в раздел style, найдёте несколько параметров исполнения, которых хватит для создания отличного и красивого дизайна, разбирать не будем, всё понятно интуитивно.
Остальные плагины расчёта услуг
Приведён список других инструментов для расчёта различных услуг:
-
Calculated Fields Form, сложен в освоении и продвинутые функции доступны в платной версии. Поддерживает процедуры с процентами и сложными многоступенчатыми формулами. Его разбор в видео.
-
Responsive Mortgage Calculator, направлен на расчёт ипотечных, кредитный и банковских услуг, заявляет о поддержке elementor
- Wp-crestor-calculator, старый плагин, которому на момент написания статьи уже 5 лет на русском языке, хорошо подойдёт для измерения стоимости строительных работ.
У наших читателей возникали вопросы, как сделать калькулятор подсчёта стоимости доставки. Скажу честно таких вариантов нет, есть для woocommerce, от компании СДЭК и почты России. Но под woocommerce не корректно поддерживается РФ, а от транспортных компаний, сырые, недоделанные и направленные на принуждении использовать их услуги.
Онлайн инструмент со своими характеристиками
Онлайн калькуляторы, сейчас существует два варианта, остальные не дотягивают, ограничиваясь несколькими характеристиками. Не дают гибкости и уверенности что работоспособности.
Calccreator популярен для ландшафтного дизайна
Знаменитый сервис calccreator.com не предлагает интеграции с их сервером, большая направленность на подсчёт строительных и ландшафтных работ. Настраиваете необходимые поля, по внешнему виду, функционалу и формулам. Далее скачиваем готовый скрипт и подсоединяем его на ресурс с любой CMS в том числе и wordpress. Отмечу что в платной версии раз в 10 больше возможностей.
Но у calccreator умеренная цена, оплачиваете период пользования, можете создать хоть 1000 калькуляторов, но по окончании срока подписки, они не блокируются, а продолжают действовать и доступны для изменения.
Ucalc умеет считать время
Поставил ucalc на второе место, из-за агрессивного использования и вытягивания денег из пользователей. Очень скудный бесплатный интерфейс, не дающий нормально настроить подсчёт, с ограничением математических функций. Однако есть отлично сделанный плагин для вордпресс, связывающий аккаунт на сервисе с сайтом. Имеет отличительный подсчёт времени, которого нет у остальных. Есть настройки внешнего вида полей с ползунами, то есть настраивать рамки простым перетаскиваем ползунков.
В статье разобрали самый лучший калькулятор для вордпресс WpCalc, сочетающий в себе простоту и интуитивно понятный интерфейс. Творите если будут вопросы задавайте, всегда рады оказать помощь.
Нажмите, пожалуйста, на одну из кнопок, чтобы узнать понравилась статья или нет.
Иногда бывает требуется создать калькулятор для простейших или не очень расчетов чего бы то ни было, например калькулятор объема бетона для строительного сайта, или нечто более сложное — форму для вычисления стоимости изготовления рекламы, калькулятор количества облицовочного кирпича и пр. Тут на помощь приходит плагин Calculated Fields Form, основное назначение которого создание разнообразных форм для вычислений.
Плагин Calculated Fields Form скачало/установило более 10К пользователей, а последнее обновление было совсем недавно в июне 2015. Плагин развивается и функционал очень неплох.
Выпускается в двух видах — платном и бесплатном (ссылка ниже). Главное отличие — в платном есть возможность организации формы отправки полученных данных администратору!!! Достаточно важная возможность — клиент производит расчет и отправляет результат менеджеру, который выставит счет и пр.
Особенности установки — ставится из админки или копированием файлов в каталог плагинов на сайте.
Настройки Calculated Fields Form
Искать настройки стоит по пути «Настройки»-«Calculated Fields Form«, тут производится не только настройка плагина, но и управление всеми созданными калькуляторами. Изначально для примера уже есть пять штук, которые можно использовать для изучения. Новые калькуляторы добавляются либо путем клонирования, либо просто через «ADD».
Каждое поле калькулятора детально настраивается, практически все параметры, настроек очень много.
Оформление калькулятора настройка внешнего вида Calculated Fields Form.
В самом плагине присутствует с десяток вариантов оформления, права стоит отметить, что ни один особо не приглянулся, нодля разнообразия вполне подойдет. Как минус или особое внимание стоит обратить на заголовок формы — он отмечен тегом H1, что не есть хорошо с точки зерния SEO.
Добавление в записи и страницы
Добавление плагина производится шоткодом, который можно посмотреть в настройках последнего.
Вывод
Плагин калькулятор Calculated Fields Form очень пригодится для улучшения функционала сайта, особенно там где необходимо дать возможность пользователю провести какие бы то ни было шаблонные вычисления стоимости или объема продукции/услуги. Еще один вариант создания полезного контента, подойдет далеко не для всех типов сайтов.
Нао сказать, что текущие задачи не позволили как следует погонять плагин и порешать более сложные задачи, например зависимость значений от логического условия, но это не огорчает — все еще впереди.

iframe, accepts the values 1 or 0. Allows you to load the form inside an iframe tag or directly on the web page.
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS id="1" iframe="1"]
Form shortcodes also support personalized attributes, which the plugin converts into globally scoped javascript variables that you can use from equations associated with calculated and DS fields.
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS id="1" custom_attr="234"]
From the equation, you can use the custom_attr variable. Ex. custom_attr*fieldname1
To publish the form on your website, all you need to do is paste its shortcode into a page’s content. Additionally, the plugin includes modules for the most popular page builders, such as

Editing the field settings in the Form Builder
When you click a field already added, you can edit its details and validation rules. The following properties are useful:
- Field Label: Label for the field in the public form and into the email.
- Field tag for the message: In addition to the general <%INFO%> tag, you can use this tag to show the field value into a specific tag of the email.
- Specific settings: The settings depends of the field type, for example the format of the phone number, the date format, etc…
- Validation rule: The validation rules depends of the field type, example: required, only digits, valid email, valid number, etc…
- Predefined value: Pre-filled value for the field, if any.
- Instructions for user: This text will appear in a smaller form below the field. It’s useful for giving instructions to the user.
- Add CSS layout keywords: Customize the look & feel. If used, this field must contain the name of the CSS class and not the styles rules directly.
The plugin includes predefined classes that you can assign to the fields through the «Add CSS Layout Keywords» attribute:
hide to hide the field by default.
ignorefield hides the field, but unlike the hide class, ignorefield disables the field so that it does not affect the equations.
Other features in the form builder:
- Equal fields validation: Use it for example to confirm if the email or password typed in two different fields are the same. This is valid for «Single Line Text», «Password» and «Email» fields.
- Dependent fields: Use this feature for show/hide fields (any field type) based in the selection made on other fields (checkboxes, radiobuttons or select/drop-down fields).

If you are implementing a complex equation, you can press the «ADVANCED EQUATION’S EDITOR» button in the field’s settings, to load a javascript editor with auto-completion, colors code for reserved words, errors detection and more:
Note for advanced users: The JavaScript ternary operator is also supported: (condition ? value_if_true : value_if_false). See the «Ideal Weight Calculator» for a sample.
For DataSource controls
Developer Version
Platinum Version
This is a step by step about the use of datasource controls
- Insert in the form the control with access to external datasources (these controls are represented with the DS at the end of its names)
- Select the control in the form, and pays attention to the «Define Datasource» section.
There are different datasources: MySQL Database, CSV file, Recordset, Post Type, Taxonomy, User Data, and Forms Submissions.
- MySQL Database, allows populate the field with the data stored in database.
- CSV, allows populate the field with the data stored in a CSV file (Datasource available only in fields with multiple entries: DropDown DS, Checkbox DS, Radio Button DS).
- Recordset, allows populate the fields from the records stored in a «RecordSet DS» field.
- Post Type, allows populate the field with the information associated to a specific post type (like the products names in a Woocommerce, etc.)
- Taxonomy, allows populate the field with the information of taxonomies.
- User Data, to get the information of WordPress users.
- JSON, read records from objects array.
- And finally the Forms Submissions, to read other forms’ submissions.
Note: Depending of control selected will be available all available datasources, or not.
So, suppose we want populate the field with the data stored in a database table.
- Select Database, from the list of datasources.
- If the database is different that used by WordPress, will be required enter the Host’s address, the authentication data to connect to the database (username and password), and the name of database(a host can include multiple databases). There is a button for testing the database connection.
Note: If the database is the same used by WordPress, leave empty the fields above.
Now its time to define the query to database
- Enter the name of table’s column, that store the control’s values. If you are using the Drop-down DS control, it has multiple options; each option of drop-down list includes a value and text; in this option you determine the column in the table that includes the values of options.
- Enter the column’s name that stores the control’s texts. Similar to the previous step, but in this case the column stores the texts of the options (in case of checkbox or radio buttons, this column contain the label of options)
- Type the table name, a database can include multiple tables, you should identify the table you are using.
- Type a condition if required. If you want filtering the values to display in the control, type the condition in this attribute. For example, suppose you want load the data of posts that are public, the condition in this case would be: post_status=’publish’, where post_status is the name of column, and publish is the value for filtering.
- The «Order by» is used to order the query results by the values in columns, and not by the order that data were stored in database. For example, suppose you want populate the control with the users names of WordPress, and you want order the results alphabetically, in this case the «order by» would be: display_name ASC, where display_name is the column’s name, and will be ordered in ascending way.
- Limit, enter an integer number to reduce the number of query results.
If your query is very complex, and you prefer create it manually; selects the option «Custom Query», but in this case you should type all the query. Pay attention because you should use alias in the «SELECT» clause, to indicate the colum used to get the values, and the column used to get the texts. For example, a hypothetical query:
SELECT column1 AS value, column2 AS text FROM tablename WHERE column3 > 5 ORDER BY column2 ASC LIMIT 5
The use of database as datasource, allows filtering the information to populate the fields with the values on other fields in the form, or javascript variable. The use of variables are only accepted in the «Condition» section («WHERE» clause), and requires the format: <%varname%>. For example, to get the title of a post, filtering by its ID, if the id is defined through the fieldname3 field, the «Condition» attribute of the query would be: ID=<%fieldname3%>

Constants to use in the queries
Besides the variables, the plugin allows the use of some constants in the queries. The constants must be enclosed between curly brackets, for example: {user.id}
Assuming you want to insert a «DropDown DS» field where the texts of the choices are the posts’ titles, and the values of choices are their IDs, but only for the posts belonging to the logged user, in this case the query to associate with the «DropDown DS» field would be:
SELECT ID as value, post_title as text FROM {wpdb.posts} WHERE post_author={user.id}
In the previous query the constants: wpdb.posts corresponds to the name of the posts table in your WordPress, and user.id to the id of logged user.
The complete list of constants:
blog.id, the id of the current blog (useful in multisite WordPress installations)
wpdb.prefix, prefix used by WordPress in the name of database’s tables, for example, the text «wp_» into the table’s name «wp_posts»
wpdb.comments, the name of Comments table
wpdb.commentmeta, the name of Comment Metadata table
wpdb.links, the name of Links table
wpdb.options, the name of Options table
wpdb.postmeta, the name of Post Metadata table
wpdb.posts, the name of Posts table
wpdb.terms, the name of Terms table
wpdb.term_relationships, the name of Term Relationships table
wpdb.term_taxonomy, the name of Term Taxonomy table
wpdb.termmeta, the name of Term Meta table
wpdb.usermeta, name of User Metadata table
wpdb.users, the name of Users table
wpdb.blogs, the name of Multisite Blogs table
wpdb.blog_versions, the name of Multisite Blog Versions table
wpdb.site, the name of Multisite Sites table
wpdb.sitecategories, the name of Multisite Sitewide Terms table
wpdb.sitemeta, the name of Multisite Site Metadata table
user.id, the id of the current user
user.login, the username of the current user
user.nicename, the URL-friendly name for the current user
user.email, the email address of the current user
user.url, the URL associated to the current user
user.display_name, the user’s name that is shown on the site for the current user
user.first_name, the first name of current user
user.last_name, the last name of current user
How to use CSV files as datasource?
The CSV files can be used as data sources for fields with multiple choices (DropDown DS, Radio Btns DS, Checkboxes DS). The initial steps are similar to the previous section, but selecting the «CSV» option as data-source instead of selecting «Database».
A comma-separated values (CSV) file stores tabular data (numbers and text) in plain text. Each line of the file is a data record. Each record consists of one or more fields, separated by commas. The use of the comma as a field separator is the source of the name for this file format.
For CSV files, the plugin includes the attributes:
Select CSV file: allows to select between a local or online file. For local files, the field displays a file field for selecting the CSV file. For online files the field displays a text field for entering the URL to the CSV file.
Use headline: tick the checkbox if the first line of CSV file is a headline to identify the data in the next records.
Delimiter: enter the delimiter symbol used as the field separator on each record.
Press the «Import CSV» button to import the records into the form. This action will feed the lists «Select column for texts» and «Select column for values», that are used for selecting which fields will be used texts and values of the choices in the DS field.
Where the value is equal to: allows filtering the rows to include in the field. The value entered in the attribute must be equal to the value in the column selected for the field’s values. It is possible to use the values in other fields in the form, or variables, for filtering the rows, similar to the «Database» datasource.
Using Recordset as datasource.
- Select the recordset option from the list of data sources.
- Select the «RecordSet DS» field from the list of recordsets.
- Type the property in the record to be used as the value of the DS field.
- Type the property in the record to be used as the value of the DS field.
-
Enter the conditions for filtering.
This clause require additional instructions, that are explained with an example:
Assuming the values in the «RecordSet DS» fields, selected as datasource, is a list of records with the structure:
{ 'First Name' : 'John', 'Last Name' : 'Smith', 'Birth Date' : '1th Jan, 2001' }
and you want populate a «Line Text DS» field with the «Birth Name» of the user «John Smith»
Type the property name: Birth Date in the «value» attribute.
Enter the properties for filtering in the condition field (pay attention to the use of the reserved word «record» in the conditions):
record[‘First Name’]==’John’&&record[‘Last Name’]==’Smith’
Tips: Javascript is casesensitive, please, be careful with the properties names.
In the conditions can be used the following comparison operators:
equal to: ==
non equal to: !=
less than: <
less than or equal to: <=
bigger than: >=
bigger than or equal to: >=
And the logical operators:
and: &&
or: ||

Create dependencies between fields
Some fields, like radio groups, checkboxes and drop-down menu, allow dependencies in function to the option selected.
For example, suppose your form includes a radio-group control with multiple choices: — House, — Car, — Electrodomestics, and each of them, uses different attributes. The house requires fields for address, number of rooms, etc; the car requires a field for trademark, model, etc. and finally the electrodomestics, will need type of electrodomestic,and more. So, if you want display the fields, depending of choice selected:
- Select the radio group fied in the form editor.
- Press the «Show dependencies» link, in the choices area.
- and select the field to display if the choice is selected. If you need associate multiple fields to the choice, press the plus button and select the new fields.
The calculated fields allow dependencies too, but in function to its value. For example, if you are designing a form for selling electrodomestics, and you want display additional fields for finance the purchase, if the amount is bigger than or equal to $1000usd. In this case:
- Select the calculated field.
- In the «Define dependencies» section, select a rule in the «if the value is» dropdown, and enter the value in the input box.
- Select the field to display in case that the rule be valid. Using the «plus» buttons it is possible define multiple rules, or associate more than one field to the same rule.
Create dependencies with other fields. It is possible create dependencies with Dropdown fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, and calculated fields. To define dependencies with other fields, would be necessary to use Calculated Fields as auxiliary fields. Simply, should to use the field as part of the equation associated with the calculated field, and create dependencies rules in function to the equation’s result. The auxiliary fields are not relevant in the form’s interface, to hide them, tick the checkbox: «Hide Field From Public Page»

Displaying Form Summary in the Thanks Page
Professional Version
Developer Version
Platinum Version
- Go to the thanks page
- Press the icon indicated in the next image, to insert a shortcode with format [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT]
The shortcode to insert in the thanks page allows a total control over the content to display with it.
In case to display all fields submitted with the form, is as simple as insert the shortcode: [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT]. But what to do if you want include in the thanks page only some of submitted fields, and not all?
The shortcode allows define the «fields» attribute, to select the fields names to include in the thanks page, separated by the comma symbol. For example, suppose the form has three fields: fieldname1, fieldname2, and fieldname3, but we want include only the fieldname1, and fieldname3, and exclude the fieldname2, in this case the shortcode would be:
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT fields="fieldname1,fieldname3"]
But in some cases, we need more control over the content to display. By default, the shortcode is replaced by pairs of label-value for each field included in the thanks page. But what happen if you want display the label of fieldname1 in bold, or use a different label for the fieldname2, that the label used in the form?. In this case you should use the shortcode like a tag: [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT]…[/CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT], and its content would be common HTML tags, with the field names using the same format that in the notification emails: <%fieldname#%>, to display only the label <%fieldname#_label%>, and to display only the value <%fieldname#_value%>. So, in this case the shortcode would be:
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT]
<p><%fieldname1_label%>:<%fieldname1_value%></p>
<p>New Label: <%fieldname2_value%></p>
<p><%fieldname3%></p>
[/CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT]
To get the complete list of tags to include in the thank you page, read the «SPECIAL TAGS IN THE NOTIFICATION EMAILS» section .
The shortcode accepts too the if_latest attribute, whose accepted values are: 0 or 1 (0 by default) to replace the shortcode, only if it corresponds to the latest submitted form. This attribute should be used in combination with the formid attribute described in the next section.
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT formid="3" if_latest="1"]
The if_paid attribute in the result shortcode will display the submitted information, only if its payment status is paid
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT if_paid="1"]
Associate a same thank you page with multiple forms
The forms’ structures can be very different, and an unique shortcode wouldn’t be sufficient to represent all forms. An option would be insert a different summary shortcode for each form, defining the attribute: «formid» indicating the form’s id, in each of shortcodes, in whose case the plugin will replace only the shortcode corresponding to the form that has been submitted:
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT fields="fieldname1,fieldname3" formid="1"]
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT fields="fieldname8,fieldname9,fieldname14" formid="2"]
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT formid="4"]
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT formid="5"] <p><%fieldname1_label%>:<%fieldname1_value%></p> <p>New Label: <%fieldname2_value%></p> <p><%fieldname3%></p> [/CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT]

- To display the list of summaries insert the shortcode [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST]
This shortcode is similar to [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT]. With this shortcode it is possible to display all submitted fields or controlling the fields and format of the summary.
However the [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST] requires the formid attribute with the form’s id, or multiple forms ids separated by commas. For example: [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid=»1″] or [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid=»1,2,3″]
Or at least a submission’s id: [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST submission=»123″]
There are other attributes supported by the [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST] shortcode, but these are optional:
- submission: the list of submissions ids separated by comma. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid=»1″ submission=»8,20,230″]
-
from: a text with date format (yyyy-mm-dd) to display the list of submissions from a specific date. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid=»1″ from=»2018-04-09″]
The from attribute accepts relative dates, like from=»+3weeks -1day», from=»-1year», etc.
-
to: a text with date format (yyyy-mm-dd) to display the list of submissions until a specific date. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid=»1″ to=»2018-04-09″]
The to attribute accepts relative dates, like to=»+2months +15days», to=»-1week», etc.
- order: used for ordering the submissions in ascending or descending order. The accepted values are: ASC and DESC. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid=»1″ from=»2018-01-01″ to=»2018-04-09″ order=»DESC»]
- limit: used to display a specific number of submissions. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid=»1″ limit=»10″]
- events_per_page: allows paginate the submissions list. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid=»1″ events_per_page=»10″]
To display the submissions list only to users with specific roles, it is possible to use the role attribute in the shortcode with one or multiple roles names separated by comma. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid=»1″ role=»administrator»]
For controlling the format of submissions’ summaries it is possible to insert the shortcodes with a content, similar to:
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid="1"]
<p><%fieldname1_label%>:<%fieldname1_value%></p>
<p>New Label: <%fieldname2_value%></p>
<p><%fieldname3%></p>
[/CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST]
The complete list of tags to include in the shortcode is avalialbe in the «SPECIAL TAGS IN THE NOTIFICATION EMAILS» section .
The if_paid attribute in the shortcode for the list of results will display only those submissions with payment status: paid
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid="1" if_paid="1"]
Displaying the submissions list using datatable
To display the submissions list using datatable are required some specific attributes:
layout with the table value
table_head with the list of columns’ labels, separated by comma symbols
table_fields with the list of forms’ fields, separated by comma symbols
view_details accepts the values 1 or 0 to display or not an additional column with a button to option a popup with submission details
order_by_column_index allows sorting the table rows by a column. It accepts the column index (starting at zero). The order_by_column_index attribute can be combined with the order attribute. The order attribute accepts the values asc and desc for sorting the rows in ascending or descending order, respectively.
Ex.
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid="1" layout="table" table_head="id, Column A, Column B, Column C" table_fields="itemnumber,fieldname1,fieldname2,fieldname3" view_details="1"]
The controls of datatable are in English by default, to translate the controls’ texts to another language, create a .js file with an object as its content similar to the following one (of course, with the texts translated)
{
"decimal": "",
"emptyTable": "No data available in table",
"info": "Showing _START_ to _END_ of _TOTAL_ entries",
"infoEmpty": "Showing 0 to 0 of 0 entries",
"infoFiltered": "(filtered from _MAX_ total entries)",
"infoPostFix": "",
"thousands": ",",
"lengthMenu": "Show _MENU_ entries",
"loadingRecords": "Loading...",
"processing": "Processing...",
"search": "Search:",
"zeroRecords": "No matching records found",
"paginate": {
"first": "First",
"last": "Last",
"next": "Next",
"previous": "Previous"
},
"aria": {
"sortAscending": ": activate to sort column ascending",
"sortDescending": ": activate to sort column descending"
}
}
And finally, pass the file’s URL as the table_language_url attribute of [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST] shortcode
Ex.
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid="1" layout="table" table_head="id, Column A, Column B, Column C" table_fields="itemnumber,fieldname1,fieldname2,fieldname3" table_language_url="https://wwww.website.com/path/lang.js"]

For example, to create the javascript variable: varname, only if exist a session variable with the same name, insert the shortcode: [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_VAR name=»varname» from=»session»]
The shortcode: [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_VAR] accepts two other attributes:
Definig default values
The «default_value» attribute allows to define the value used by default if there is not a parameter with the specified name, or session variable or cookie:
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_VAR name="varname" default_value="mydefault"]
If there is not a parameter, or session variable, or cookie, with the name «varname», the plugin will create a global javascript variable with the name: «varname», and value: «mydefault».
Create direct variables
The attribute: «value», allows to create a javascript variable with the name defined as attribute, and the value in the attribute: «value».
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_VAR name="varname" value="myvalue"]
After insert the shortcode to create the javascript variable, a valid equation would be: fieldname1*varname
Create a direct variable through the Forms Shortcode
There is another way to create global variables to be used in the equations, directly from the form’s shortcode. All attributes in the shortcode, except the «id» that identifies the form, are converted in javascript variables with global scope, whose names correspond to the variable name, and their values, the attributes’ values:
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS id="1" varname="varvalue"]
It is possible create multiple variables, defining multiple attributes.
The variables created through the form’s shortcode have a particularity, for each global variable will be created another one with the structure: <variable name>_arr, for example: if the shortcode is:
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS id=»1″ varname=»varvalue»]
The plugin will create two varaibles, the global variable: varname whose value would be varvalue, and the varname_arr variable, whose value is a hash with the varvalue as one of their items.
How to access to the value of the varname_arr?
Simply should be called the varname_arr variable, using as the index, the form_identifier constant: fieldname1*varname_arr[ form_identifier]
Pay attention to this way to access to the variables generated through the form shortcode. If there are multiple shortcodes inserted in the same page, and all of them define a same variable, accessing to the variable name through the scheme: <variable name>_arr[ form_identifier], each form will have its own value for the variable, because the global variable <variable name> will have only the latest value defined.
Add-Ons
The list of add-ons available in the plugin, appear in the «Add-ons area» of settings page of the plugin. For enabling the add-ons, simply should tick the corresponding checkboxes, and press the «Activate/Deactivate Addons» button.
Server Side Equations add-on
Developer Version
Platinum Version
The Server Side Equations add-on allows to define equations in the server side to protect the business logic, and call them with AJAX from the public form.
The server side equations are defined from the settings page of the plugin, through the «Server Side Equations section».
The server side equations are shared by all forms in the website, reducing the development time.
Server Side Equations Structure
The server side equations are implemented with PHP programming language. The equations should be entered below the line of comment: INCLUDE YOUR CODE FROM HERE.
The equations should be defined into the GLOBAL array: «SERVER_SIDE_EQUATIONS», where the items’ indexes are the names of the equations, and the items values are functions definitions with the code of the equations.
For example, assuming you want to implement an equation that calculate the square root of a number, a possible equation would be:
$GLOBALS['SERVER_SIDE_EQUATIONS']['square_root_equation'] = function($number){return sqrt($number);};
The file with the equations can be edited directly with the text editor of your choice. The files with the equations are located in the «/wp-content/plugins/calculated-fields-form/addons/serverside.addon/» directory, and their names have the structure: server-side-equations_#.php
Pay attention: The plugin includes a mechanism to prevent overwrites the «server-side-equations_#.php» file in the update process. However, I recommend to copy the file into the «/wp-content/uploads/calculated-fields-form» directory, and the plugin would use this copy of the file instead.
The server-side equation must always return a result.
How the equations are called?
The add-on includes a new operations module with the operation: SERVER_SIDE for calling the server side equations using AJAX.
The «SERVER_SIDE» operation requires at least one parameter, the name of the server side equation (following with the previous example, the first parameter would be: ‘square_root_equation’) and the other parameters would be the parameters required by the server side equation.
SERVER_SIDE('square_root_equations',4) the result would be 2
To get the square root of a field in the form, for example, the fieldname1, the equation would be:
SERVER_SIDE('square_root_equations',fieldname1)
Calculating the final price with a server side equation
The Server Side Equations add-on includes a new section in the form’s settings to allow calculate the final price through a server side equation, after the form be submitted.
To calculated the final price with a server side equation:
Tick the checkbox: «Evaluate the final cost with a server side equation, once the form be submitted»
Enter the server side equation call with the format: equation_name(fieldname1, fieldname2, fieldname3)

The add-on includes a new shortcode: [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_USER_SUBMISSIONS_LIST], to display the list of submissions belonging to an user. If the shortcode is inserted without attributes, the list of submissions will include those entries associated to the logged user. This shortcode accepts the attributes: id, for the user’s id, and login, for the username (the id attribute has precedence over the login), in whose case the addon will list the submissions of the user selected, furthermore it is possible restrict the list to a specific form using the attribute: formid=»#», where # should be replaced by the form’s id. Additionally, it is possible to decide the number of items per page (10 by default), defining the «events_per_page» attribute through the shortcode, ex: [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_USER_SUBMISSIONS_LIST events_per_page=»20″]
Pay attention: If the page with the shortcode is visited by an user with administrator role, then he/she will have access to the other users’ submissions and will have permission to edit or delete them.
Other attributes supported by the [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_USER_SUBMISSIONS_LIST] shortcode:
-
from: a text with date format (yyyy-mm-dd) to display the list of submissions from a specific date. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_USER_SUBMISSIONS_LIST from=»2018-04-09″]
The from attribute accepts relative dates, like from=»+3weeks -1day», from=»-1year», etc.
-
to: a text with date format (yyyy-mm-dd) to display the list of submissions until a specific date. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_USER_SUBMISSIONS_LIST to=»2018-04-09″]
The to attribute accepts relative dates, like to=»+2months +15days», to=»-1week», etc.
- order: used for ordering the submissions in ascending or descending order. The accepted values are: ASC and DESC. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_USER_SUBMISSIONS_LIST from=»2018-01-01″ to=»2018-04-09″ order=»DESC»]
- limit: used to display a specific number of submissions. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_USER_SUBMISSIONS_LIST limit=»10″]
The add-on allows to define the summary of the submitted data that will displayed in the list of submissions. Enter the summary’s structure in the «Summary» attribute. In the summary can be use all the special tags, available for the notification emails, and the thank you pages.
Note, that it is possible to define the structure of data directly through the shortcode, and this takes precedence over the «Summary» attribute. Ex:
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_USER_SUBMISSIONS_LIST]
<p><b><%fieldname1_label%></b>: <i><%fieldname1_value%></i></p>
[/CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_USER_SUBMISSIONS_LIST]
The add-on allows to assign permissions for «edit» or «delete» the entries. Actually, the submissions are not deleted, or its data modified from these actions, the real control over the data is only for the website’s administrator. In the first case, the submission will be disabled, and will be hidden from the list of user’s submissions, but the submission is always accessed by the website administrator through the messages section, and if the data are edited, the original entry will be disabled, and a new entry is generated and associated to the user.
There are other features included by this add-on, the «Messages» section is modified to include in the list of submissions the name of the submitter, furthermore, includes a new input field for filtering the events by users.

Equations Format for Calculated Fields
The equations allowed by the plugin «Calculated Fields Form» are really powerful tools.
From the following versions of the plugin:
- 1.0.139 Free
- 5.0.153 Pro
- 5.0.180 Developer
- 10.0.196 Platinum
It is possible to use the __ME__ constant in the equations for referring to the value of the calculated field that is being calculated. For example, if the calculated field is editable, and you want get the maximum number among the value typed by the user in the field, and the sum of other two fields in the form: fieldname1+fieldname2, the equation would be as simple as: MAX(fieldname1+fieldname2,__ME__).
In previous versions of the plugin was needed to implement some tricks for accessing the value of the calculated field from its equation.
Access to the fields from the equations is as simple as including their names, like, fieldname1+fieldname2
The plugin takes the values of the fields and pre-processes them to extract the numbers to use in the mathematical operations. However, sometimes it is necessary to get the fields’ values without pre-processing. In these cases, you should use the «|r» modifier (for raw) as part of the field’s name,
Ex. fieldname1|r
For dropdown, radio buttons, and checkbox fields, where it is possible to select the information to submit between the choices’ values and texts, the use of the «|v» modifier allows you to access the information to submit from the equations.
Ex. fieldname1|v
And finally the «|n» modifier. Each time a field’s name appears in an equation, the plugin replaces it by the corresponding field’s value in the evaluation process. However, sometimes with need to use the fields’ names and not their values. In these cases, the use of the «|n» modifier is essential because it says the plugin you want to use the fields’ names.
Ex. getField(fieldname1|n).choices({texts:[‘A’, ‘B’], values:[1,2]});

If fieldname1 is a date field, and its value is 3/11/2013: cdate(fieldname1+10) would be 13/11/2013
Sample valid equations:
To calculate the monthly payment in a lease calculator:
The fields implied are:
Load amount: fieldname1
Residual value: fieldname2
Interest rate %: fieldname3
Number of months: fieldname4
The corresponding equation for monthly payment is:
prec((fieldname1*fieldname3/1200*pow(1+fieldname3/1200,fieldname4)-fieldname2*fieldname3/1200)/(pow(1+fieldname3/1200,fieldname8)-1),2)
There is a huge number of equations that can’t be recreated with simple mathematical operators, or the operations listed above.
Pay attention to the following sample:
In your form there are four fields: fieldname1, fieldname2, fieldname3 and the calculated field: fieldname4, but the value of fieldname4 is dependent of fieldname3 value, that is:
The value of fieldname4 will be: fieldname1+fieldname2, if the value of fieldname3 is greater than 100, or will be: fieldname1*fieldname2, if the value of fieldname3 is less than or equal to 100. Neither of previous operations, by itself, can calculate the value of fieldname4.
To solve complex cases like this, the «Calculated Fields Form» plugin allows entering javascript code directly in the equation editor, like the following sample:
(function(){
if(fieldname3 > 100) return fieldname1+fieldname2;
if(fieldname3 <= 100) return fieldname1*fieldname2;
})();
For complex equations where is required to define blocks of javascript code, you must use the following format:
(function(){
//Your code here
})();
and the return the value of that function will be the value assigned to the calculated field:
return fieldname1+fieldname2;
Pay attention, the plugin removes the changes of lines from the equations at runtime. So, if the equation is defined with the «function» format:
(function(){
//Your code here
})();
It is really important to include the semicolon symbols (;) at the end of the code lines, furthermore, if the equation is really complex, and you want to include comments for future references, should be used the format for multiple lines comments: /* comment here */, but never the format for single line of comments: // comment here

Logical Module
All Versions of the Plugin
The logical module includes the following operations:
IF(condition, value if true, value if false)
Checks whether a condition is met, and returns one value if true, and another if false.IF(logical_test, value_if_true, value_if_false)
If the value of fieldname1 is 10 and the value of fieldname2 is 20, the result of:
IF(fieldname1 < fieldname2, fieldname1, fieldname2)
would be 10
AND(x,y,z,….)
Checks whether all arguments are true, and return true if all values are true, and false in another way. AND(logical1,logical2,…)
Suppose there are three fields, fieldname1, fieldname2 and fieldname3, with values: 10, 20 and 30 respectively, so:
AND( fieldname1<100, fieldname2<100, fieldname3<100)
would be true
but
AND( fieldname1<100, fieldname2<100, fieldname3<25)
is
false, because the fieldname3 is bigger than 25
OR(x,y,z,….)
Checks whether any of arguments is true, and return true if any of values is true, and false if all values are false. OR(logical1,logical2,…)
Suppose there are three fields, fieldname1, fieldname2 and fieldname3, with values: 10, 20 and 30 respectively, so:
OR( fieldname1<100, fieldname2<100, fieldname3<25)
is true, because at least the two initial conditions are true, inclusive if the third condition fails.
but
OR( fieldname1<5, fieldname2<5, fieldname3<25)
is false, because the three conditions fail
NOT(x)
Changes false to true, or true to false.NOT(logical)
NOT(true)
return false
NOT(false)
return true
IN(x,[x,y,z,….])
Checks whether the term is included in the second argument, the second argument may be a string or strings array. IN(term, string/array)
IN(10,[10,20,30,40])
Return true
IN(‘world’, ‘hello world’)
Return true

The CALCULATEAMORTIZATION is the operation with most complexity in the «Calculated Fields Form» and requires its own section.
The CALCULATEAMORTIZATION operation returns a list of objects. For example:
CALCULATEAMORTIZATION(25000, 60, 5.25, new Date(2011,11,20) )
Result: [ { principle: 24634.725 interest: 109.375 payment: 474.65 paymentToPrinciple: 365.275 paymentToInterest: 109.375 date: Tue Dec 20 2011 00:00:00 GMT+0100 (Romance Daylight Time) }, { principle: 24267.851921874997 interest: 217.151921875 payment: 474.65 paymentToPrinciple: 366.873078125 paymentToInterest: 107.776921875 date: Fri Jan 20 2012 00:00:00 GMT+0100 (Romance Daylight Time) }, ... ]
- principle: how much remains to pay.
- interest: is the accumulated of interest paid until this date.
- payment: is the monthly payment (payment of interests and payment of principle).
- paymentToPrinciple: is the part of payment that is considered as payment of principle.
- paymentToInterest: is the part of payment that is considered as payment of interest.
- date: is the date of payment.
In the following example, we explain the use of the CALCULATEAMORTIZATION operation: the fieldname1 represents the principle amount, fieldname3 the number of months, and the fieldname2 the interest rate.
So, the value returned by CALCULATEAMORTIZATION(fieldname1,fieldname3,fieldname2) cannot by assigned directly to the calculated field, or will be displayed a text like: [object],[object],…… Therefore, we’ll need to create a formatted string, with HTML tags, to display the CALCULATEAMORTIZATION results in an understandable format.
(function(){
var r = CALCULATEAMORTIZATION(fieldname1,fieldname3,fieldname2),
str = »;if(r.length)
{
str = ‘<table cellpadding=» 10″ >’;
str += ‘<tr>’;
str += ‘<td>Date</td>’;
str += ‘<td>Interest</td>’;
str += ‘<td>Payment</td>’;
str += ‘<td>Payment to Interest</td>’;
str += ‘<td>Payment to Principle</td>’;
str += ‘<td>Principle</td>’;
str += ‘</tr>’;
for(var i = 0, h = r.length; i < h; i++)
{
str += ‘<tr>’;
str += ‘<td>’+GETDATETIMESTRING( new Date(r[i][‘date’]), ‘yyyy-mm-dd’)+'</td>’;
str += ‘<td>’+PREC(r[i][‘interest’],2)+'</td>’;
str += ‘<td>’+PREC(r[i][‘payment’],2)+'</td>’;
str += ‘<td>’+PREC(r[i][‘paymentToInterest’],2)+'</td>’;
str += ‘<td>’+PREC(r[i][‘paymentToPrinciple’],2)+'</td>’;
str += ‘<td>’+PREC(r[i][‘principle’],2)+'</td>’;
str += ‘</tr>’;
}
str += ‘</table>’;
}
jQuery(‘.result-here’).html( str );
})()
The first step will be store the list of objects returned by the CALCULATEAMORTIZATION operation, in a local variable, and create another variable to store the amortization data, but with an HTML format:
var r = CALCULATEAMORTIZATION(fieldname1,fieldname3,fieldname2), str = '';
The equation validates if the previous operation returns a value, because if the CALCULATEAMORTIZATION was called with wrong values can return an empty array:
if(r.length) { ... }
I’ve decided display the results of CALCULATEAMORTIZATION operation in a tabular format because is easier to understand. The first element in the result is the tag to open the table: <table>, and the row with the column names:
str = '<table cellpadding=" 10" >'; str += '<tr>'; str += '<td>Date</td>'; str += '<td>Interest</td>'; str += '<td>Payment</td>'; str += '<td>Payment to Interest</td>'; str += '<td>Payment to Principle</td>'; str += '<td>Principle</td>'; str += '</tr>';
Now, it is the moment to create each row of the table with the values of monthly amortization.
for(var i = 0, h = r.length; i < h; i++) { str += '<tr>'; str += '<td>'+GETDATETIMESTRING( new Date(r[i]['date']), 'yyyy-mm-dd')+'</td>'; str += '<td>'+PREC(r[i]['interest'],2)+'</td>'; str += '<td>'+PREC(r[i]['payment'],2)+'</td>'; str += '<td>'+PREC(r[i]['paymentToInterest'],2)+'</td>'; str += '<td>'+PREC(r[i]['paymentToPrinciple'],2)+'</td>'; str += '<td>'+PREC(r[i]['principle'],2)+'</td>'; str += '</tr>'; }
The previous code has its particularities. By default the dates returned by the CALCULATEAMORTIZATION operation have the complete format including hours and seconds, In this form the information about hours and seconds is not relevant, so, it is preferred to use a short date format: yyyy-mm-dd. The date string will be formatted with the GETDATETIMESTRING operation, included in the Date module of developers version of the plugin (the second parameter is the format to use):
str += '<td>'+GETDATETIMESTRING( new Date(r[i]['date']), 'yyyy-mm-dd')+'</td>';
Another particularity is the use of the PREC operation. By default the CALCULATEAMORTIZATION returns the numeric values with all its decimals digits, for example: 366.873078125, but for humans it is common to identify the money representation with two decimal digits. So, I’ve used the PREC operation with the number 2 as the second parameter.
str += '<td>'+PREC(r[i]['interest'],2)+'</td>';
After creating all table rows, it is time to close the table, and print the results:
str += '</table>';
If you display the result directly in the calculated field, you will see a weird text (or very hard to understand) because the input fields in HTML are not able to display tables, in this case I’ve preferred to show the result in an «HTML Content» field. I’ve inserted an «HTML Content» field in the form, and entered a DIV tag as its content with the class name: result-here <div class=»result-here»></div>. Then, using jQuery to display the table with the results into the DIV tag:
jQuery('.result-here').html( str );
The complete equation is:
(function(){
var r = CALCULATEAMORTIZATION(fieldname1,fieldname3,fieldname2),
str = »;if(r.length)
{
str = ‘<table cellpadding=» 10″ >’;
str += ‘<tr>’;
str += ‘<td>Date</td>’;
str += ‘<td>Interest</td>’;
str += ‘<td>Payment</td>’;
str += ‘<td>Payment to Interest</td>’;
str += ‘<td>Payment to Principle</td>’;
str += ‘<td>Principle</td>’;
str += ‘</tr>’;
for(var i = 0, h = r.length; i < h; i++)
{
str += ‘<tr>’;
str += ‘<td>’+GETDATETIMESTRING( new Date(r[i][‘date’]), ‘yyyy-mm-dd’)+'</td>’;
str += ‘<td>’+PREC(r[i][‘interest’],2)+'</td>’;
str += ‘<td>’+PREC(r[i][‘payment’],2)+'</td>’;
str += ‘<td>’+PREC(r[i][‘paymentToInterest’],2)+'</td>’;
str += ‘<td>’+PREC(r[i][‘paymentToPrinciple’],2)+'</td>’;
str += ‘<td>’+PREC(r[i][‘principle’],2)+'</td>’;
str += ‘</tr>’;
}
str += ‘</table>’;
}
jQuery(‘.result-here’).html( str );
})()
PRESENTVALUE(x,y,z)
Returns the present value of an investment
The present value is the total amount that a series of future payments is worth now. It requires three parameters: The interest rate per period, the total number of payment periods, the payment made each period and cannot change over the life of the annuity, and two optional parameters: The future value of the loan or investment and the due parameter (0 — the payment is due at the end of the period; 1 — the payment is due at the beginning of the period.)
Ex: PRESENTVALUE(0.08,5,100)
Result: 399.27
FUTUREVALUE(v,w,x,y,z)
Returns an investment based on an interest rate and a constant payment schedule. Five parameters: The interest rate for the investment, the number of payments for the annuity, the amount of the payment made each period, the present value of the payments (if this parameter is omitted, it assumes to be 0), parameter that indicates when the payments are due (if this parameter is omitted, it assumes to be 0. The possible values are: 0 — Payments are due at the end of the period, 1 — Payments are due at the beginning of the period)

If holidays format is ignored, the plugin uses date_format.
NETWORKDAYS(«10/1/2012», «3/1/2013», «mm/dd/yyyy»)
Result: 110
NETWORKDAYS(«10/1/2012», «3/1/2013», «mm/dd/yyyy», [«12/24/2012», «12/31/2012»], «mm/dd/yyyy»)
Result: 108
DATEDIFF(date_one, date_two, date_format, return)
Gets the difference between two dates strings representation
DATEDIFF(date_one, date_two, date_format, return)
The function returns an object, whose value depends on the ‘return’ argument
Possible values of return argument:
d — returns the number of days between two dates
m — returns the number of months between two dates, and remaining days
y — returns the number of years between two dates, remaining months, and remaining days
DATEDIFF(‘2013-10-27’, ‘2012-06-22’, ‘yyyy-mm-dd’, ‘y’)[‘months’]
Result: 4
Since the third parameter tells the plugin the starting point for calculating the date difference, the resulting object for the operation:
DATEDIFF(‘2013-10-27’, ‘2012-06-22’, ‘yyyy-mm-dd’, ‘y’)
It would be:
{
"years": 1,
"months": 4,
"days": 5,
"hours": 0,
"minutes": 0,
"seconds": 0
}
One year, four months, and five days more.
However, the resulting object for the operation:
DATEDIFF(‘2013-10-27’, ‘2012-06-22’, ‘yyyy-mm-dd’, ‘m’)
It would be:
{
"years": -1,
"months": 16,
"days": 5,
"hours": 0,
"minutes": 0,
"seconds": 0
}
In this case, the value of the «years» property is -1 because the operation tells the plugin to use «months» as the starting point to calculate the difference. So, instead of 1 year and four months, the resulting object indicates the difference is sixteen months and five days.
Similarly, the resulting object for the third example:
DATEDIFF(‘2013-10-27’, ‘2012-06-22’, ‘yyyy-mm-dd’, ‘d’)
It would be:
{
"years": -1,
"months": -1,
"days": 492,
"hours": 0,
"minutes": 0,
"seconds": 0
}
DATETIMESUM(date_string, format, number, to_increase, ignore_weekends <optional>)
Increases the date-time string representation in the number of seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, or years, passed as parameter.
ignore_weekends is an optional parameter that applys only on days increment. It ignores the Saturdays and Sundays in the sum.
DATETIMESUM( date_string, format, number, to_increase )
DATETIMESUM(‘2013-10-27’, ‘yyyy-mm-dd’, 6, ‘d’)
Result: The date object representation of 2013/11/01, Saturday.
DATETIMESUM(‘2013-10-27’, ‘yyyy-mm-dd’, 6, ‘d’, true)
Result: The date object representation of 2013/11/04, Monday.
GETDATETIMESTRING(datetime_object, format)
Returns the string representation of a date object
GETDATETIMESTRING(TODAY(), ‘yyyy-mm-dd’)
Result: 2013-10-27
DECIMALTOTIME( decimal, format, time format )
Converts a decimal number to a time format text. The operation requires three parameters, the decimal number, character indicating the decimal representation («y» for years, «m» for months, «d» for days, «h» for hours, «i» for minutes, and «s» for seconds), text for time format («h:i:s»).
DECIMALTOTIME(938405,»s»,»d days, h hours, i minutes, and s seconds»)
Result: 10 days, 20 hours, 40 minutes, and 5 seconds
TIMETODECIMAL( time text, time format, output format )
Converts a time text to a decimal number. The operation requires three parameters, the text with time representation, the time format representation («h:i:d»), character with the output format («y» for years, «m» for months, «d» for days, «h» for hours, «i» for minutes, and «s» for seconds).
TIMETODECIMAL(«20:40:5″,»h:i:s»,»s»)

MANAGING FIELDS MODULE
All Versions of the Plugin
The managing fields module allows to process the fields objects:
getField( # or fieldname# )
Returns the internal representation of a field object.
The getField operation can be used only in the context of the equations.
For example, if there is the slider field: fieldname1, to assing it a value, for example:50, enter as part of the equation associated to the calculated field the piece of code:
getField(1).setVal(50);
If you want pass the field’s name with the format: fieldname#, the correct would be use:
getField(‘fieldname’+’1’).setVal(50);
Or in the equation’s context: getField(fieldname1|n).setVal(50);
The getField operation is more important than it appears at first glance. It allows to use in the equations fields that belong to other forms inserted in the same page.
For example, assuming you have inserted the form with id=1 in the page and assigned it a unique class name:
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS id=»1″ class=»form-a»]
Now, you want to insert a second form on the page containing with a calculated field, in whose equation you want to use the value of the field field fieldname123 of the first form, for example to duplicate its value.
For this hypothetical case, the equation of the calculated field of the second form can be implemented as follows:
getField(fieldname123|n, ‘.form-a’).val()*2
ELEMENTINFO( selector, info )
Get element information. It returns the value, text, or HTML of the element. The selector parameter is any valid dom selector, like «h1.post-title», and the info parameter is any of the values «text», «html», or «value»
Ex.
ELEMENTINFO(«h1.post-title», «text»);
If the selector does not exist, the operation returns null.
IGNOREFIELD( # or fieldname#, form object or form id or consecutive form number )
Set the field in the ignore state. Its value in the equations would be zero, furthermore, it would be excluded from the form’s submission. The second parameter is optional.
IGNOREFIELD(1);
IGNOREFIELD(‘fieldname1|n’);
IGNOREFIELD(‘fieldname’+’1’);
ACTIVATEFIELD( # or fieldname#, form object or form id or consecutive form number )
Activates a field that was ignored previously. The second parameter is optional.
ACTIVATEFIELD(1);
ACTIVATEFIELD(‘fieldname1|n’);
ACTIVATEFIELD(‘fieldname’+’1’);
HIDEFIELD( # or fieldname#, form object or form id or consecutive form number )
Hide a field explicitly. Unlike IGNOREFIELD, this operation hides the field but does not deactivate it. The hidden fields participate in the equations and are submitted to the server. The second parameter is optional.
HIDEFIELD(1);
HIDEFIELD(‘fieldname1|n’);
HIDEFIELD(‘fieldname’+’1’);
SHOWFIELD( # or fieldname#, form object or form id or consecutive form number )
Show a field explicitly. If the field was hidden by a dependency or by the IGNOREFIELD operation, it must be displayed by the ACTIVATEFIELD operation. The second parameter is optional.
SHOWFIELD(1);
SHOWFIELD(‘fieldname1|n’);
SHOWFIELD(‘fieldname’+’1’);
VALIDFORM( form object or selector, silent )
Checks if the values of the form fields are valid or not. The first parameter would be a form object or a selector with the reference to the form. If this is null, or not passed to the operation, the plugin validates the first form on the page. The second parameter is a boolean (true or false), and allows us to validate the form without displaying error messages.
VALIDFORM();
VALIDFORM(«cp_calculatedfieldsf_pform_1», true);
VALIDFIELD( field name or number, form object or selector, silent )
Checks if the field value is valid or not. The first parameter is required. It is the name of the field to validate (Ex. fieldname123|n) or its numeric components (Ex. 123). The second parameter would be a form object or a selector with the reference to the form. If this is null, or not passed to the operation, the plugin validates the field in the first form on the page. The third parameter is a boolean (true or false), and allows us to validate the field without displaying error messages.
VALIDFIELD(fieldname1|n);
VALIDFIELD(fieldname1|n, «cp_calculatedfieldsf_pform_1», true);
ENABLEEQUATIONS(form)
Allows to enable dynamic evaluation of equations. Accepts an optional parameter: form object, jQuery object or selector. If the parameter is omitted, enables evaluation of equations on all forms on the page.
ENABLEEQUATIONS();
ENABLEEQUATIONS(form);
DISABLEEQUATIONS(form)

EVALEQUATION(form, ‘fieldname#’)
Evaluate specific equation. Requires two parameters, the form object and the field name, or the numeric part of the field name.
EVALEQUATION(form, ‘fieldname1’);
EVALEQUATION(form, 1);
GOTOFIELD( field, form object )
Jumps to a field in the form.
field, integer number corresponding to the number component in the field name or the field name (required parameter).
form object, an optional parameter corresponding to the form where the field is.
In the context of the equation, call the operation passing only the number component in the field name,
Ex. GOTOFIELD(2);
But if the operation is called from the onclick event of a button, the form object is required,
Ex. GOTOFIELD(«fieldname2», this.form);
GOTOPAGE( page, form object )
Jumps to a page in a multipage form.
page, integer corresponding to the page index, starting at zero (required parameter).
form object, optional parameter corresponding to the multipage form.
In the context of the equation, call the operation passing only the page index,
Ex. GOTOPAGE(2);
But if the operation is called from the onclick event of a button, the form object is required,
Ex. GOTOPAGE(2, this.form);
COPYFIELDVALUE( # or fieldname#, form object or form id or consecutive form number )
Copies the field value to the clipboard. Supports input and textarea tags.
The first parameter is required, it would be the numeric part of the field name or the field name.
The second parameter would be a form object, or a selector with the form reference. If the second parameter is not passed, the plugin will copy the value of the field in the first form of the page.
Ex. COPYFIELDVALUE(1); — or — COPYFIELDVALUE(«fieldname1»);
PRINTFORM( true or false )

THIRD-PARTY CONNECTION MODULE
All Versions of the Plugin
The Third-party Connection module allows the integration with third-party functions.
cffProxy(Function, First parameter, Second parameter, …)
Works as proxy for calling the function passed as the first parameter, and the remaining parameters are passed as parameters of third-party function.
The first parameter is the third-party function (it is required). The cffProxy operation pass to this third-party function a callback as the last parameter. This callback should be called from the code of the third-party function, and receives as parameter the value generated by the third-party function.
cffProxy( function(a, b, callback){callback(a+b);}, 4, 5) the result is 9

CHART.JS MODULE
Developer Version
Platinum Version
The Chart.js module allwos to includes charts generated with the Chart.js API in the forms (Distributed with the Developer or Platinum versions of the plugin):
CFFCHART(canvas tag id, object with the data and options, field object)
It is a proxy for the Chart method in the Chart.js API. The functions accepts the same parameters in the Chart function.
The first parameter is the id of the canvas tag where the chart would be generated.
The second parameter is a plain object with the labes, datasets, and options, required by Chart.js. Click here for the API Documentation.
The third parameter (optional) is the object representation of the field to be populated with the chart image encoded as base64.
CFFCHART(‘canvas_id’, {type:’bar’, data:{labels:[‘Label A’, ‘Label B’], datasets:[{data:[fieldname1, fieldname2]}]}})
CFFCHART(‘canvas_id’, {type:’bar’, data:{labels:[‘Label A’, ‘Label B’], datasets:[{data:[fieldname1, fieldname2]}]}}, getField(fieldname4|n))
Note: The second parameter accepts the version attribute to decide the ChartJS API version to use. Ex:
CFFCHART(‘canvas_id’, {version:’3.7.1′, type:’bar’, data:{labels:[‘Label A’, ‘Label B’], datasets:[{data:[fieldname1, fieldname2]}]}});
It is possible to register ChartJS plugins by passing an objects list with the plugins’ URLs and a callback function to call after loading the plugin:
CFFCHART("my-chart", { type: "bar", data: { labels: ["Foo", "Bar"], datasets: [{ label: "bad", data: [5, 25], backgroundColor: "rgba(244, 143, 177, 0.6)" }, { label: "better", data: [15, 10], backgroundColor: "rgba(255, 235, 59, 0.6)" }, { label: "good", data: [10, 8], backgroundColor: "rgba(100, 181, 246, 0.6)" }, ], }, options: { indexAxis: "y", plugins: { stacked100: { enable: true }, "datalabels" : false }, }, register_plugins:[ { "url":"https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/chartjs-plugin-stacked100@1.0.0", "callback":function(){Chart.register(ChartjsPluginStacked100.default);} } ] });
The process would be as follows:
* Insert a «HTML Content» field in the form with the canvas tag as its content:
<canvas id=»canvas_id»></canvas>
* Uses the CFFCHART operation as part of the equation:
(‘canvas_id’, {type:’bar’, labels:[‘Label A’, ‘Label B’], datasets:[{data:[fieldname1, fieldname2]}]})

Tips and Tricks
Set the value to a slider control programmatically
- Assign a class name to the slider field, for example: my-field (the class names are assigned to the fields through the attribute: «Add Css Layout Keywords»)
- Insert a «HTML Content» field in the form with the piece of code below as its content:
<SCRIPT> function setSliderValue( clss, value ) { var id = fbuilderjQuery('.'+clss+' input').attr( 'id' ); var fId = id.match(/_d+$/); fbuilderjQuery.fbuilder.forms[fId].getItem(id).setVal(value); } </SCRIPT>
- Finally, if the equation associated to the calculated field is for example: fieldname1+fieldname2, modify it as follows:
(function(){ var v = fieldname1+fieldname2; setSliderValue('my-field', v); return v; })()
(*) With the «Managing Fields» operations module the process is very simple, assuming the slider field is the fieldname1 and you want assign it the value: 50, include as part of the equation the piece of code:
getField(1).setVal(50);
Create relationships between date fields
Assuming there are two date fields: fieldname1, and fieldname2
-
To define as the «min» attribute of of the fieldname2 field the date selected in the fieldname1 field:
Insert a «HTML Content» field in the form with the following piece of code as its content:
<script> fbuilderjQuery(document).on( 'change', '[id*="fieldname1_"].hasDatepicker', function (){ fbuilderjQuery('[id*="fieldname2_"].hasDatepicker').datepicker('option','minDate',this.value); }); </script>
-
To define as the «max» attribute of of the fieldname2 field the date selected in the fieldname1 field:
Insert a «HTML Content» field in the form with the following piece of code as its content:
<script> fbuilderjQuery(document).on( 'change', '[id*="fieldname1_"].hasDatepicker', function (){ fbuilderjQuery('[id*="fieldname2_"].hasDatepicker').datepicker('option','maxDate',this.value); }); </script>
-
For selecting in the fieldname2 field, the date selected in the fieldname1 field plus a number of days (in the code below, 3 days after):
Insert a «HTML Content» field in the form with the following piece of code as its content:
<script> fbuilderjQuery(document).on( 'change', '[id*="fieldname1_"].hasDatepicker', function (){ var d = fbuilderjQuery(this).datepicker('getDate'); d.setDate(d.getDate()+3); fbuilderjQuery('[id*="fieldname2_"].hasDatepicker').datepicker('setDate',d); }); </script>
Create new validation rules
In some situations is required that the fields values have a specif format, or maybe allow to enter only a list of values. In these cases the current validation rules (digits, numbers, max value, min value, text length, required) are not sufficient, and would be needed new rules. This section describes how to create a new validation rule, and assing it to a field.
Assuming you need restricts the values of the fieldname1 field as US Zipcode, with the formats: #####-#### or #########, the regular expression used to validate the field’s value is: /^d{5}([-]?d{4})?$/
Insert a «HTML Content» field in the form, with the piece of code below as its content:
<SCRIPT> fbuilderjQuery(document).one('showHideDepEvent', function(){ fbuilderjQuery .validator .addMethod( "zipcode", function(v,e) { return this.optional(e) || /^d{5}([-]?d{4})?$/.test(v); } ); fbuilderjQuery.validator.messages['zipcode'] = 'The zipcode is invalid'; fbuilderjQuery('[id*="fieldname1_"]').addClass('zipcode'); }); </SCRIPT>
The previous code adds a new method to the «validator» object, applied to all input fields with the class name «zipcode», the method returns true if the input field is optional, or its value satisfies the format of an US zipcode. With the instruction: fbuilderjQuery.validator.messages[‘zipcode’] = ‘The zipcode is invalid’; is defined the error message to display when the validation rule fails. The last instruction assign the class name: zipcode to the fieldname1 field, to apply on it the new validation rule.
Storing Data in a Different Database
The Developers version of the «Calculated Fields Form» plugin, allows storing the data submitted in a database different to the own plugin database.
To use this feature are required some basic skills, because should be edited the «cp_calculatedfieldsf_insert_in_database.php» file included in the code of plugin.
This file is a mockup to integrate the plugin with other MySQL database. The file should be modified manually because each database has its own structure, and gives to the users a total control on the process.
The file’s edition:
Open the file with the text editor your choice. There are some text editors, widely recommended for code editing, like: Notepad++, Sublime Text, Vim, Atom, UEditor.
The first section of file allows defining the constants needed for connecting with the database, and its authentication:
define( 'DATABASE_HOST', '' ); define( 'DATABASE_USER', '' ); define( 'DATABASE_PASS', '' ); define( 'DATABASE_NAME', '' ); define( 'DATABASE_TABLE', '' );
The name of constants are auto-descriptives:
- DATABASE_HOST: hosname or IP of database server.
- DATABASE_USER: username for database’s authentication.
- DATABASE_PASS: password for database’s authentication.
- DATABASE_NAME: database name.
- DATABASE_TABLE: table name.
The plugin checks if the constants have been defined, before for running the insertion queries.
The second section to be edited by the developers, is the creation of the variables to use in the queries. The file includes some variables as a guide of section:
$field1 = mysqli_escape_string( $db_link, $params[ 'fieldname%' ] ); $field2 = mysqli_escape_string( $db_link, $params[ 'fieldname%' ] ); $field3 = mysqli_escape_string( $db_link, $params[ 'fieldname%' ] );
I’ll explain this section with an example. Suppose you want store in the «my_users» table, the firstname, lastname, and email of the user, submitted through the form, and the corresponding fields in the form for these information are: fieldname1, fieldname2, and fieldname3, respectively. So, the variables are created like follow:
$field1 = mysqli_escape_string( $db_link, $params[ 'fieldname1' ] ); $field2 = mysqli_escape_string( $db_link, $params[ 'fieldname2' ] ); $field3 = mysqli_escape_string( $db_link, $params[ 'fieldname3' ] );
In the previous code has been created a varaible for each field in the form. All fields are included in the $params array.
After create the variables, is time to generate the insertion queries. The plugin includes a mockup for a hypotetical insertion query, that must be replaced with the structure of your database and the fields created previously.
mysqli_query( $db_link, "INSERT INTO `".DATABASE_TABLE."` (field1, field2, field3) VALUES ('$field1', '$field2', '$field3');" );
Returning to the previous example. If the columns of the table are: firstname, lastname, and email, respectively, the query should be modified like follow:
mysqli_query( $db_link, "INSERT INTO `".DATABASE_TABLE."` (firstname, lastname, email) VALUES ('$field1', '$field2', '$field3');" );
Pay attention, if the type of data in a column of table is a numeric value, should be removed the quotes around the variable name. For example, suppose the form includes a DropDown field for the year of birth, that evidently is a numeric value, I will assume this is the fieldname4. So, you should create a new variable for the new field:
$field4 = mysqli_escape_string( $db_link, $params[ 'fieldname4' ] );
and modify the insertion query too:
mysqli_query( $db_link, "INSERT INTO `".DATABASE_TABLE."` (firstname, lastname, email, year) VALUES ('$field1', '$field2', '$field3',$field4);" );
The $field4 variable is not closed between quotes.
A last tip: It is possible create as many insertion queries as needed, even can use the table name directly without use the constant defined in the first section.
Pay attention: The plugin includes a mechanism to prevent overwrites the «cp_calculatedfieldsf_insert_in_database.php» file in the update process. However, I recommend to copy the file into the «/wp-content/uploads/calculated-fields-form» directory, and the plugin would use this copy of the file instead.
A simpler alternative would be to use the «Database Queries for Calculated Fields Form» plugin.

Populate a Form by Default
The plugin adds a consecutive number to each form inserted in a webpage to prevent conflicts between different copies of a same form, starting in «1». The process will be explained in an example. I will suppose your form includes only one form created with the «Caculated Fields Form», and the form includes three fields: — a numeric field (fieldname1), a DropDown field (fieldname2), a checkbox field (fieldname3), and a single text field (fieldname4). Furthermore, the form fields should be prefilled with the values: 3 for the fieldname1, the choice with the value 4 in the fieldname2, tick the choices with the values: 1, and 2 for the fieldname3, and the «qwerty» text in the fieldname4, follows the steps below:
- Enable the text tab in the content’s editor of your webpage. If are inserted HTML tags with the «Visual» tab enabled, the symbols «<» and «>» are encoded as «<» and «>» respectively.
- Inserts a pair of <SCRIPT>…</SCRIPT>, with the piece of code:
<SCRIPT> cpcff_default = { 1 : {} }; cpcff_default[1][ 'fieldname1' ] = 3; cpcff_default[1][ 'fieldname2' ] = 4; cpcff_default[1][ 'fieldname3' ] = [1,2]; cpcff_default[1][ 'fieldname4' ] = "qwerty"; </SCRIPT>
Pay attention to the values of the fieldname3 and fieldname4. The fieldname3 is a checkbox, as it is possible select multiple choices, should be assigned an array of values. For the fieldname4, whose value is a text, it should be closed with quotes or double quotes.
Populate the form B with the data submitted by the form A
The process will be explained with an example. Assuming will be populated the fields: fieldname3, and fieldname7 in the form B with the values of the fields: fieldname1, and fieldname2 submitted by the form A:
Note: I’m assuming here the form B is the unique form inserted in the thank you page, or at least the first one. For this reason in the next code the index or attribute in the cpcff_default variable is 1 (cpcff_default = { 1 : {} };)
- Inserts the shortcode corresponding to the form B in the thank you page associated to the form A. For example if the id of the form B is 34, the shortcode would be: [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS id=»34″]
- Inserts into the same page, the shortcode to manage the submitted data, including the javascript tags with the code to populate the form B:
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT] <PRE style="display:none;"><SCRIPT> cpcff_default = { 1 : {} }; cpcff_default[1][ 'fieldname3' ] = '<%fieldname1_value%>'; cpcff_default[1][ 'fieldname7' ] = '<%fieldname2_value%>'; </SCRIPT></PRE> [/CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT]
A particular case: If there are two forms in the thank you page, and you want populate the fields: fieldname3, and fieldname7 of the first form in the page, and the fields: fieldname2, and fieldname3 in the second form, the piece of code to use would be:
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT] <SCRIPT> cpcff_default = { 1 : {},2 : {} }; cpcff_default[1][ 'fieldname3' ] = '<%fieldname1_value%>'; cpcff_default[1][ 'fieldname7' ] = '<%fieldname2_value%>'; cpcff_default[2][ 'fieldname2' ] = '<%fieldname1_value%>'; cpcff_default[2][ 'fieldname3' ] = '<%fieldname2_value%>'; </SCRIPT> [/CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT]
As you can see in the previous examples, the indices (or attributes) in the cpcff_default variable don’t have relationship with the forms’ ids. These indices (or attributes) indicate the possition of the form in the page, the first form, index 1, second form, index 2, and so on.
Create New Predefined Template
The «Caculated Fields Form» plugin includes multiple predefined templates to be used in the forms. The template is selected from the «Form Settings» tab, in the toolbar of the form builder, but can occur that the predefined templates are not sufficient to create a form with the look and feel you want.
The template’s module in our plugin, can be extended easily to create new designs, to be used in the forms of website.
Into the «/wp-content/plugins/calculated-fields-form/templates» directory there are multiple folders, a folder for each template. The folders names have not restrictions, you simply should create a new folder for the custom template, with the name you want.
The only one required file in a template is the «config.ini» file, whose structure is:
prefix="cp_cff_custom" file="style.css" title="Custom Template" thumbnail="thumbnail.jpg" description="This is my custom template"
The description of attributes:
- prefix: Classname, applied to the form’s container. Its value should be unique for all templates on website (required attribute).
- file: Name to the CSS file with the styles to define the appearance of form.
- title: Name of the template, displayed in the dropdown list on form settings.
- thumbnail: Name of image file, displayed when the template is selected (the image file should be stored in the template directory).
- description: Description to display when the template is selected.
To implement a custom template to apply your forms, creates a new directory for the template into the path «/wp-content/uploads/calculated-fields-form/templates», for example «/wp-content/uploads/calculated-fields-form/templates/custom-template». Into the new directory, create a config.ini file with the template properties (described above), and the .css file with the custom design. Finally, select the new template from the «Form Template» attribute in the «Form Settings» tab. More information in the following post of the plugin’s blog:
BLOG: How do I create a new template to use with my forms?
Printing a Form
For printing only the form, but not the rest of page, please, follows the steps below:
-
Inserts a «HTML Content» field in the form, and enter as its content the piece of code:
<SCRIPT> function printForm(){ var w = window.open(null, 'Print_Page', 'scrollbars=yes'); jQuery('#fbuilder input').each(function () { var e = jQuery(this); e.text(e.val()).attr('value', e.val()); if (e.hasClass('large')) e.css('width', '100%'); if (typeof e.prop('checked') != 'undefined' && e.prop('checked')) e.attr('CHECKED', e.prop('checked')); }); var html = jQuery('#fbuilder').html(); jQuery('#fbuilder TEXTAREA').each(function () { var e = jQuery(this).parent().html(); html = html.replace(e, jQuery(this).val()); }); jQuery('#fbuilder SELECT').each(function () { var e = jQuery(this).parent().html(); html = html.replace(e, jQuery(this).find('option:selected')[0].text); }); w.document.write(html); w.document.close(); w.print(); } </SCRIPT>
- Inserts a button field in the form and call the function defined previously from its onclick event:
printForm();

Появится строчка с надписью Add new fields, она добавляет элемент в пример вычисления формулы, которую будем писать дальше. Сделаем калькулятор для подсчета наливных полов, выведем четыре поля:
- Длина
- Ширина
- Прайс за 1 квадратный метр
- Возможность выбора опции снятие старой заливки
Логика такая: находим площадь, умножаем на стоимость работы за 1 кв м, и прибавляем цену за снятие старого материала (исходя из площади). Первой зададим длину.
- Раздел Title задает заголовок, можно не показывать и снять выделение чекбокса
- Item type – тип показывает как будет показана функция, нужно чтобы пользователь вводил цифры, значит выставляем input
- Field width – сколько места занимает строчка ввода по горизонтали, выставлю 6/12 чтобы рядом прописать еще раздел ширины
- Validation – выставляем number, все что не имеет числового значения расценивается ошибкой
- Placeholder – заполнитель текстовой области, написал «введите длину
- Value – значение по умолчанию, записал 0
- По аналогии создаем еще один fields ширины, должно получится так.
Добавим новый раздел, он будет статичным, с заранее заданной ценой услуги по демонтажу старого покрытия. Снова нажимаю синюю кнопку, ввожу данные.
Обозначил Item type как Checkbox, с помощью галочки. Размер 12/12, value 1000, то есть тысяча рублей будет браться за очистку 1 квадратного метра пола. Selecte оставил не отмеченным, чтобы услуга по выравниванию по умолчанию не прибавлялась.
Следующий шаг настройка формулы, создаем раздел, выставляем параметры.
В тайтле написал результат, выводить не стал. В поле item type выставил Result. В разделе formula пишем принцип вычисления. У каждого окна есть название в данном случае Field 4. Цифра показывает номер объекта, оно не повторяется в рамках одного калькулятора. 1 — длина, 2 — ширина, 3 — стоимость за очистку.
Записываем элемент в формулу через нижнее подчеркивание, например field_1.
Смотрите на логику, сначала вычисляю цену заливки – узнаю площадь, умножаю длину на ширину и сразу на цену за квадратный метр, для примера 2000. Далее прибавляю очистку, если она нужна, с помощью плюса. Снова нахожу площадь и умножаю на стоимость дополнительной работы. Если чекбокс не будет отмечен, то программа выдаст, что второе слагаемое равно нулю.
В разделе делаем окончательный расчет оператором {result}, перед ним написал текст. Нажимаем на сохранить, копируем шорткод калькулятора для вставки на сайт WordPress.
Создаем запись или страницу в WordPress, вставляем шорткод, выбираем предварительный просмотр.
На странице отобразиться калькулятор, проверим. Введу данные и посчитаю самостоятельно совпадают ли цифры.
Расчет прошел успешно, при отметке чекбокса цифра стала 18000, что соответствует заданным параметрам вычисления. Для разнообразия внешнего вида перейдите в раздел style, настройте оформление и сохраняйте.
Платный вариант плагина
В платном варианте есть несколько дополнительных функций:
- Неограниченное количество форм
- Больше стилей
- Интеграция с Mailchimp и Getresponse
- Отправка писем с результатом расчета пользователю и админу
- Добавить адрес электронной почты в базу данных
- Добавить форму после публикации контента
- Виджет с формой
- Копирование и экспорт списка контактов в .xls, .csv
Есть база знаний, функционал не ограничен простыми операторами, есть логарифмы, остатки. Существует форум поддержки, информация располагается во вкладке FAQ.
Калькулятор совместим со всеми плагинами типа elementor, woocommerce. Он имеет свой шорткод, а вставить его просто.
Чтобы рассчитать стоимость доставки и расстояние придется использовать WooCommerce (советую прочитать как подключить Robokassa) и дополнения от систем доставки таких как DPD или СДЕК, других вариантов к сожалению нет.
Видео инструкция
Чтобы процесс создания понять лучше, записал свое видео.
Русские разработчики позаботились о пользователях как платных, так и бесплатных тарифов. На неофициальном сайте есть все расчеты с формулами, какие отрасли затронуты:
- Кредитные сделки
- Процентные операции
- Ландшафтное направление
- Наука
- Красота
- Питание
- Конвертеры
- Строительство
Можете подобрать расчет, внести порядок действий в калькулятор. На данный момент число конфигураций почти 520 версий.
Стоит внести свои характеристики и настроить вывод, остальное за системой. Отмечу что справка на сайте на русском языке.
Примеры других калькуляторов
Приведу три варианта дополнений для WordPress. Но предупрежу, что обращать на них внимания не стоит, потому что большинство устарело или имеют узкую специализацию.
- WPCC – не обновлялся 6 лет, имеет простую панель, не совместим с новыми версиями PHP
- Responsive Mortgage Calculator – калькулятор разрабатывался для недвижимости особенно ипотечные сделки
- Calculated Fields Form – предоставляет необходимые возможности доступные только в платной версии. Огромный плагин WordPress, разобраться сложно, для простых задач используйте мой вариант
Онлайн сервисы калькуляторов на русском языке
В интернете есть сервисы для калькуляторов, большинство платные, имеет русский перевод. Покажу несколько вариантов.
UCalc настраиваемый под любые цели
Сервис UCalc стал популярным, потому что имеет модуль для синхронизации с вордпресс. Бесплатная версия не даст создать крутой калькулятор, но для простых задач подойдет идеально.
Выделю рекламу платных услуг на каждом этапе использования, но это бизнес. Есть два отличных момента это наличие ползунков – выбор числа сделать не из списка, а на шкале перемещения. Второй наличие счетчика времени.
Calccreator
Calccreator предоставляет отличную цену. Недорогая подписка, зато пользуетесь всеми инструментами без ограничения. Во время действия платного аккаунта, можно создать неограниченное число калькуляторов. После прохождения срока подписки проекты не блокируются, а даются в том же режиме, с разницей что нельзя добавлять и изменять уже имеющиеся.
Можно за один месяц создать максимум калькуляторов и ставить на сайты клиентов. Скрипты проверены с WordPress, совместимость подтверждаю.
Закончу статью мы разобрались как сделать калькулятор на CMS WordPress, показал варианты, дал аналоги в виде дополнительных модулей и онлайн решения.
