Simple calculation with fields was created by brandonking

Hello,

Could you also consider creating a field that can calculate and display total value from two or more selected fields?

e.g. with new TOTAL field
- backend:
1. parameter for selecting existing fields(can be more than 2) from same type. Maybe, text field or/and select field.
2. parameter for +, -, *, /
3. Use js validation, calculation and save result in TOTAL field.

Regards,

Brandon

we already have an enhancement issue open for this (you can subscribe to it by clicking at the star in front of its title):
Enhancement issue 185 (Calculation Field)

-- also e.g. in item view you could do it in the template:

Code:

<div class='label'><?= $this->fields['myfield1']->label; ?></div>
<div class='value'><?= $this->fields['myfield1']->display; ?></div>

<div class='label'><?= $this->fields['myfield1']->label; ?></div>
<div class='value'><?= $this->fields['myfield2']->display; ?</div>

<div class='label'>Total</div>
<div class='value'><?php
$multiply_result = floatval($this->fields['myfield3']->display) * intval(this->fields['myfield4']->display);
echo $multiply_result;
?></div>
