Description

Calculated Fields Form is for visually:

♦ Creating forms with automatically calculated fields
♦ Finance calculators
♦ Quote calculators
♦ Booking cost calculators
♦ Date calculators
♦ Health / fitness calculators
♦ Form builder for adding input fields on the form
♦ Add one or more calculated fields
♦ Predefined forms templates

With Calculated Fields Form you can create forms with dynamically calculated fields to display the calculated values.

It includes a form builder for adding/editing different field types, including one or more automatically calculated fields based in the data entered in other fields.

Calculated Fields Form can be used for creating both single and complex calculations, for example general calculators, ideal weight calculators, calorie calculators, calculate quotes for hotel booking and rent a car services, calculate quotes for appointments and services, loan & finance calculators, date calculators like pregnancy calculators, etc...

Features:

Visual form builder with multiple fields and form formatting options
Any number of calculated fields can be added
Easy and visual calculator interface
The calculator supports both easy and advanced operations, including ternary operators and common Math functions
Supports multiple field types, like drop-down, checkboxes, radiobuttons, dates, numbers
Accept operations with dates (ex: days between two dates)
Smart automatic number and prices identification into the field values
Supports form separators and comments sections to layout the form in a friendlier way
Manage multiple calculated forms
Practical "clone" button to duplicate a form
Five pre-built practical samples included
Multi pages forms supported
Conditional rules supported. Useful for creating wizards
Intuitive and interactive form builder interface
Predefined forms templates

There are five samples already included with the installation:

Simple Calculator Operations
Calculation with Dates (bookings with check-in and check-out dates)
Ideal Weight Calculator
Pregnancy Calculator
Lease Calculator

The plugin has two additional (commercial) versions: Premium and Developer, each of them with its own features:

=Features in Premium version=

All features of free version of plugin
Submits the form data, and stores the data on database, for future revisions
Allows send notification emails with the data submitted, to the form editor and users
Allows charge the calculated field directly through PayPal
Allows export and import your forms between different WordPress
Allows to display the submitted data in the thanks page
Includes a dashboard widget to display the submissions of the last week

=Features in Developer version=

All features of free and premium version of plugin
Includes new controls that get its information from different datasources (database, CSV file, Post, Taxonomies, and users data)
Includes financial operations
Includes operations for date times management
Includes a script for saving the submitted data in an external database
Includes an add-on to integrate the forms with the WooCommerce products (Beta Version).

You can either "clone" those calculated forms to complete your own form or create a new calculated form from scratch for your application.

You can mix text and numbers into a field. If a field contains a number it will be automatically identified and used for the calculations. In addition to that, the checkboxes, radio buttons and drop-down fields can have separately a visual "text" and a hidden "value" linked to each test: the value will be the one used for the calculation.

The dates are also automatically identified and you can apply operations between them, for example, you can calculate the number of days between two dates with a simple operation like "date2-date1" or add some number of days or weeks to a date. To display the result as a date again you can use the CDate operator included in the calculator. The samples #2 and #4 are practical samples.

The form processing and payment processing aren't included in this version. There are other versions with form processing included and additional features. See the FAQ for more information.

Latest Features Added

Dependent fields: Fields can be shown/hidden based on other checkboxes, radiobuttons or drop-down selections

Other Notes

This section contains mainly notes about the form builder features that are too long to explain in the main description page.

Conditional Rules

The form fields can be shown or hidden depending of the selection made on checkboxes, radio-buttons and select/drop-down fields.

When editing checkboxes, radio-buttons or select/drop-down fields in the form builder (click a field to select it and edit it details) you will see a link labeled "Show Dependencies". When clicked, a new option will appear below each field's option, labeled "If selected show: ...". The field selected into that settings option will be displayed only of that option is selected into the parent checkbox, radio-button or select/drop-down field.

Conditional rules are useful for showing information to the used based on the previous selection or just to make the form friendlier: easier to read and understand.

There are other conditional rules that are applied to the calculated fields and depend of the equation results, to display a field, or fields, if the result is equal to, greater than, less than,.... a number.

The "Equal to" validation rules

This rule can be used to make the user enter the same value in two or more fields, usually as a confirmation field.

The "Single Line Text", "Email" and "Password" fields have a validation option labeled "Equal to: ...". The field selected in "Equal to: ..." will be validated against the field that contains the rule.

This feature is frequently used to ask the user enter the email address twice to be sure that it is correct or to enter a password twice to avoid mistakes.

Predefined value

The fields can have "predefined" or "prefilled" values. There are two possible uses for this:

1- Can be used for pre-filling the form with common values and save time to the end user.

2- Can be used for showing a sample of the data that should be entered in the field. In this case you may want to mark also the checkbox "Hide predefined value on click", this way the value will disappear once the user starts using the field without having to manually delete the placeholder value.

The "Instructions for User" option

Each field has a settings value labeled "Instructions for User". Use that settings value to put instructions to the end user about filling that field. The instructions will appear in a smaller text immediately below the field in the public website.

Add Css Layout Keywords

This is also explained in the FAQ. The "Add Css Layout Keywords" is a way to apply CSS styles separately for each field. This settings field is available for each form builder field in the admin area. Into that field you can put the name of a CSS class that will be applied to the field.

Important: Put only the name of the CSS class into the "Add Css Layout Keywords"; don't put the css styles rules directly there.

There are some pre-defined CSS classes to use align two, three or four fields into the same line. The CSS classes are named:

column2
column3
column4

For example if you want to put two fields into the same line then specify for both fields the class name "column2". The above is valid for both the classic fields and the calculated fields.

The CSS classes/rules can be placed into the file "wp-content\plugins\calculated-fields-form\css\stylepublic.css" or into your theme CSS files.

Multi Page Forms

For adding a new page to create multi-page forms just insert the field named "Page Break". Each form's page will be validated separately before going to the next form, however note that the calculations are applied to the whole form every time a field is modified, so a calculated field in other page may be modified even if that page isn't visible.

Calculated "hidden" Fields

The calculated fields can be "hidden" fields. This way the calculated values of those "hidden" fields won't be displayed in the form. This is useful for using intermediate calculated values or for showing the calculated values only into the email (pro version).

Equations / formulas Format for Calculated Fields

Here are some sample formulas that can be used as base:

With simple mathematical operations:

fieldname1 + fieldname2

fieldname1 * fieldname2

fieldname1 / fieldname2

fieldname1 - fieldname2
With multiple fields and fields grouping included:

fieldname1 * ( fieldname2 + fieldname3 )
Rounded to two decimal digits:

prec( fieldname2 / fieldname3 , 2)
There is a huge number of equations that can't be recreated with simple mathematical operators, or the operations listed above, requiring "IF" conditions, here is a sample of the formula that can be used in that case:

(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 should use the following format:

(function(){
var calculatedValue = 0;
//Your code here
return calculatedValue;
})();

.... and note that the return value of that function will be the value assigned to the calculated field.

Functions that can be used for the formulas

In addition to the JavaScript functions, the following functions can be used directly into the formulas:

prec(A,B): Return the A number with B decimal digits
round(A): Rounds A to the nearest integer. In most cases "prec(A, B)" is more useful for indicating the digits precision.
cdate(A,format): Returns the number A formatted like a Date, the second parameter defines the output date ('mm/dd/yyyy', 'dd/mm/yyyy'). The number represents the number of days from Jan 1, 1970. For example, if fieldname1 is a date field, and its value is 3/11/2013: cdate(fieldname1+10) would be 13/11/2013.
min(x,y,z,...,n): Returns the number with the lowest value (minimum from the list).
max(x,y,z,...,n): Returns the number with the highest value (maximum from the list).
random(): Returns a random number between 0 and 1.
Other mathematical operations: abs(x) , acos(x) , asin(x) , atan(x) , atan2(x,y) , ceil(x) , cos(x) , exp(x) , floor(x) , log(x) , pow(x,y) , sin(x) , sqrt(x) , tan(x)

In addition to the above, the following operations that are available in the Developer version of plugin:

New fields may be added at any time, so check the latest version of the plugin since it may have new options.

Tips for calculating prices

One of the most frequent uses is for calculating prices. When displaying prices a good you may want to divide the form in two pages, the first one for asking the information needed to calculate the price and in a second page display the calculated field with the price and using the "Instruct. Text" fields for adding the terms, conditions and valid time for the price.

Note that you can make the "Instruct. Text" fields dependent from the calculated value, that way you can change the text shown to the user depending of the number shown in the calculated price, since frequently the terms, conditions or offers vary according to the price amount.

WooCommerce add-on (Beta Version) - Only available in the Developer version of the plugin

The developer version of the plugin includes the WooCommerce add-on, to integrate the forms created by the "Calculated Fields Form" with the WooCommerce products. The add-on inserts an additional metabox in the WooCommerce products, with two settings fields:

Enter the ID of the form: Allows select the form that will be associated to the product.
Calculate the product price through the form: Allows calculate the price of the products through the form.

Note: If you want calculate the price of products through the form, will be required that you select the field of the price in the attribute: "Request cost" in the form's settings.
