    Hi Support

    We are looking to use gravity forms as an order form much the same as this site. What we really want is the way the fields calculate the price based on two number fields.

    I know currently the addition of pricing fields is a featured request, but if we had to code one ourselves what would be the best approach for that?

    We can use a Wordpress page template and use JavaScript to work the calculations or if it would be easier hook into the gravity forms plugin?

    You would have to use drop down/radio button/checkbox fields and place the price in the value field for each option. Then you would have a numeric field to your form to act as the total and you would have to write jQuery to calculate the selection fields that are selected. I'm not 100% sure how doable it is as is just using jQuery and not editing the plugin code. It's a pretty complex customization. It will be a feature of Gravity Forms v1.5. Keep watching as we will be making available 1.5 as a beta release sometime within the next 30 days.

    Hi,

    We have been playing around with the new 1.5 beta and I was wondering, it doesn't seem possible to calculate a product price based on length and width entered, e.g.

    Xmeters * Ymeters = Zmeters sqrd

    Total price = Zmeters sqrd * price/m sqrd

    Or am I missing something?

    Gravity Forms Pricing Fields work strictly on a price * quantity basis. There is no complex calculation capabilities for doing complex math such as your example above. It is intended for basic order form functionality rather than complex cart functionality.
