# Calculated Fields Form

## Descrizione

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, 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
• Beaver Builder
• WPBakery Page Builder
• DIVI Builder

For other editors, it is possible to insert the form into the pages via its shortcode. Each web form has an associated shortcode that allows you to insert it wherever you want.

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.

#### 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.

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.

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;
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

#### 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.

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.

### Great plugin and great support

11 Agosto 2022
I have used multiple premium forms. All have tons of CSS and good looking. But functionality is almost zero. If you are looking for form, you should definitely think CFF. Support is great, they are always try to give me best option. Thank you so much to create this great plugin.

### Great Engineering Calculator

7 Agosto 2022
This plugin is a great general-purpose engineering calculator plugin for WordPress that has limitations. Overall, it is the most robust calculator plugin available. The largest concern is that the plugin has not been optimized for speed in loading pages, so be prepared for slow page load times. Second, the calculator is not able to perform Complex Number calculations when Imaginary Numbers are an important aspect of the calculation. Third, equations should be displayed for the user with Katex as an embedded part of CFF so equations are displayed as TEXT, and not as images when using MathJax. Fourth, programming is performed using JavaScript, so be prepared to learn Java syntax if you are not familiar with this programming method.

I've owned this plugin for quite some time. I bought it years ago to solve a problem that in the end, I didn't need to solve so I shelved it. Fast-forward a couple of years and I suddenly need to do some quite complex date and rule calculations within a form.... and wow!! I had totally forgotten how powerful this plugin really is. I was able to use CFF instead of having to develop and maintain a custom plugin. It's incredibly powerful (I have the Platinum edition) and support is very responsive. Even had some custom development done - reasonable price and very fast turn-around. Couldn't be happier.

### Great Plugin with very powerful features

Great Plugin with very powerful features

### Very impressed so far

23 Luglio 2022
I have just started using this plugin as I needed to create a form with computed fields. The form designer is not as wysiwyg as some other form tools but the calculation implementation is good and flexible. Additionally, I like the fact that you only pay once for a developer license, and that the paid-for add-ons use the same pay-once billing model. So much better than the annual subscription model for someone like me who is only maintaining one or two sites. I have also paid for the Database Queries and RichText add-ons and with these in place, I intend to migrate all my forms to this tool ... allowing me to save money but ending my WPForms Pro license.
