If you are only using Option Fields and no Product Fields, your Total won't calculate. Options REQUIRE a Product, otherwise they can't impact the price. Options are Options of a Product, if you don't have a Product Field on your form... they have nothing to impact the price of.</p> <p>Think of Options as Size, Color, etc. They would be Size, Color, etc. of a Product. So if you are using Option Fields you need to make sure you have at least one Product field on your form. If you have multiple Product Fields on your form you then configure which Product the Option is for when editing the Option.</p> <p>My guess is you are using all Option Fields and haven't implemented at least one Product Field. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forum-value-newb-question#post-27642 Sun, 12 Jun 2011 18:47:58 +0000 nassroperlaw 27642@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for the advice. My web guy updated the CSS and it seems to be working by not showing the price. However, it now also doesn't show the Total when tallied up. No matter what I do, the total is always $0.00. </p> <p>Any ideas on what I should do? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forum-value-newb-question#post-27246 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 18:42:41 +0000 David Smith 27246@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Haha, trust me Nasseroperlaw. Having the value field is INVALUABLE for many, many, many scenarios. One example is where you want to display a product name to the user, but want to record a product ID to process in the backend.</p> <p>We realize that some users will only need basic usage of multiple option fields (selects, checkboxes, and multiple choice) which is why you have to check the "enable values" box to show the value fields.</p> <p>How is the value option interfering with what you are trying to accomplish? Also, if you provide a link to a form in-progress I can give you some more specific styles to hide the pricing. The above sample worked on my local install so if it isn't working for you, I'm guessing we just need to add a little specificity. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forum-value-newb-question#post-27238 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 17:41:56 +0000 nassroperlaw 27238@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Neh, that didn't seem to do the trick. </p> <p>I don't understand why there is a Value section if its almost entirely meaningless. The only way, that I see, having a Value option would make any sense at all, is if it actually assigned that specific choice a Value which could be tallied up, or calculated at the end. </p> <p>Why does the admin need a special Value section to see what the value of the selection is? Can't his eyes shift one millimeter to the left and simply read what the selection is? </p> <p>What color are your eyes?<br /> Brown (Value = Brown) </p> <p>Who would ever have thought that the value of Brown is....brown!!! or that Yes is YES?! Other than pointing out the glaringly obvious, can this Value system actually be used for anything of any...ahem....value? :) (like adding up actual values on the backend to be calculated and displayed at a later time?) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forum-value-newb-question#post-27121 Mon, 06 Jun 2011 15:13:24 +0000 David Smith 27121@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Nassropelaw,</p> <p>Currently, the pricing fields aren't really set up to not show a price; however, you could use a bit of CSS to hide the prices manually.</p> <p><a href="http://grab.by/ais7" rel="nofollow">http://grab.by/ais7</a></p> <p>In this example, you could hide the price like so:</p> <pre><code>[css] .gform_wrapper .ginput_price { display: none; }</code></pre> <p>The CSS method would not be applicable to drop down products/options as these are added into the actual field options themselves. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forum-value-newb-question#post-27116 Mon, 06 Jun 2011 14:50:36 +0000 nassroperlaw 27116@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>any info? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forum-value-newb-question#post-26965 Fri, 03 Jun 2011 19:43:42 +0000 nassroperlaw 26965@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I could do that, but the only way to have the Total field know what the total is, is to have the dollar amounts displayed next to each choice. The total doesn't have to be displayed till the end, but do the dollar amounts have to be displayed? </p> <p>In my example of the Widgets above, I put the "Value" in parenthesis, because I wanted it to be assigned a Value of $200, not a price of $200 for the user to see. Please let me know if Im not making myself understandable, Im not a code guy (clearly) so I don't know all the lingo to fully articulate what I'm trying to say. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forum-value-newb-question#post-26945 Fri, 03 Jun 2011 17:29:47 +0000 David Smith 26945@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Sure, set a conditional logic on the total field so that it does not display until the final option has been selected. This assumes that the final option would be required and have a positive/negative value, otherwise the use could submit the form without the total ever displaying.</p> <p><a href="http://grab.by/ahoh" rel="nofollow">http://grab.by/ahoh</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forum-value-newb-question#post-26940 Fri, 03 Jun 2011 17:00:52 +0000 nassroperlaw 26940@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I notice it can be done via the Option and Total buttons under the Pricinf Fields catagory.. But we don't want a price to appear until the final question is chosen. Essentially, we want to secretly tally up the total and at the end, present a total amount owed. Can that be done? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forum-value-newb-question#post-26935 Fri, 03 Jun 2011 16:24:04 +0000 nassroperlaw 26935@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Its a nice screen shot, but, how do you do it? :) </p>
