This will save me hours of what if's and is exactly what I am after.</p> <p>You guys rock !</p> <p>Cheers<br /> Colin </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/which-calculation-to-use#post-146633 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 13:52:25 +0000 Chris Hajer 146633@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I created a form and used number fields to hold the quantity of each item. None of the fields were required, since the the visitor might not have all the items.</p> <p>Then I added a number field and checked "Enable Calculation" and inserted the merge tag for each field, times the cubic feet of storage space required. My formula looked like this:</p> <pre><code>({Refrigerator:1}*18.3)+({Microwave:2}*4.5)+({Wardrobe:3}*24)+({Coffee Table:4}*12)+({Bookcase:5}*5)</code></pre> <p>The number field is then updated in real-time with the amount of storage space required. You can download a copy of the XML form here which can be imported into your site under the Forms menu. (Forms &gt; Import/Export then up top "Import Forms") Maybe you can use this as a jumping off point. </p> <p>Download the form: <a href="http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=mydzTQxu" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=mydzTQxu</a> (save as form.xml on your computer, then import it into your site.)</p> <p>Demo: <a href="http://gravity.chrishajer.com/storage-calculator/" rel="nofollow">http://gravity.chrishajer.com/storage-calculator/</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/which-calculation-to-use#post-146333 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 17:53:22 +0000 Colinz 146333@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Guys,<br /> Love the plugin but want to do more with it.</p> <p>Can you please suggest the best way to create a calculator that adds up item volumes similar to the operation here: <a href="http://www.airportselfstorage.co.nz/calculator.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.airportselfstorage.co.nz/calculator.html</a></p> <p>Thanks in advance<br /> Colin </p>
