Hi,

I have a custom form whereby users use it to register for a conference.

The user fees should be calculated based on several items:

1) If the user filled in their details there is a count of 1 * $80

2) If the user filled in their Spouse details then there is now an additional count bring the user count to 2 * $80

3) If they add their youth then again another count of 1.

4) If they add their children and specify an age of 5 or less then an additional charge of $5 per child, if they specify an age of 6-12 then an additional charge of $30 per child.

My variable is a hidden field called $(Fees). Not working for me, how do I do this properly.

Thanks,
Brian

Brian,

I am assuming you when say 'Question Event', are you are referring to the onblur client side events area right?

A few things... Dynamic Forms generates several references to form fields that can be used and executed. In this case you either need to pass a field to the setTotal function, or you need to just perform the calculation in the main client side event for the field. The module can redern $(ShortFieldName) to its actual value, or ID... Such as these examples:

$(ShortFieldName) - Used to get or set the value
$(ShortFieldName_Field) - Referenced the field
$(ShortFieldName_FieldID) - Referenced the field ID
$(ShortFieldName_ValueFieldID) - only referenced or used within multi field items such as checkbox group or list fields etc...

So... Something like this:
alert(document.getElementById('$(Total_FieldID)').value);

This is assuming the short field name was total for that field.

Basically, it looks like you are referencing 'total' but the ID of that field is much more complicated in ASP.NET when its rendered to the page. rendered with a very long name that is generated.

There are other things to make note of as well, if you don't need to generate it client side and want to generate it server side there is a token that is used within Authorizenet and PayPal integrate called $(Calc_TotalField). This field will render calculations that you enter into the 'Total field' within the payment gateway. For example:

($(Field1) + $(Field2)) * 10

etc...

A couple other comments... If you are signed in as the admin and you add ?Debug=True you should see 'exactly' what is being rendered to the onblur or client side javascript that is being executed. So I would run this test to see what is happening.

Additionally - These are great forum threads that we are happy users continue to add, comment, and help each other out for implementations. As each client side event can be very custom we do not offer direct support for client side javascript itself, however we do offer premium support hours that can include implementation / support if you need more direct assistance.

Hi Chad,

Thanks for the reply, I managed to get it working, though there are some wierd caching issues in the module that causes a new field I added to not give me the FieldID to pass to a javascript function. I tried all ways to get it to work, finally I just did a view source and copied and pasted the ID that was in the page, so far it hasn't broke.

Now, all of a sudden, the email fields are not working 100%, showing no entries for certain fields on my forms. The only thing I did was put a client side call to my javascript in the fields, now half the fields show a value when sending the email and the other half do not. Any bug fix I should be aware of?

I checked on Snowcovered but don't see any patches for 2.6, is there a newer update?

Further, I tried to use an SQL event and it is not working either. I created a new table in the DNN database, added my fields, tested adding data and it worked from the SQL query window. I then tried inserting data from the event and I don't even get an error code. How do I debug this? I have a mixture of integers and strings to insert into a table.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,

Brian
