    Can this plugin total volume of various furniture items on a removalist website?

    All furniture items have a predefined volume, so that part is done. All that i require is a plugin that allows users to simply select funiture items from a categorised list, and then the volumes of those items are added and a total volume displayed on the page.

    Ideally, the result would then be emailed to the removalist with customers details, selected items, and total volume.

    Hello @computersimulatorscom

    Yes, of course that’s possible and very simple (the mathematics can be implemented even with the free version of the plugin, but send the notification emails would required at least the professional one).

    For example, you can insert a checkbox field (I’ll call it fieldname1) with multiple choices, one choice per furniture, whose choice’s text would be the furniture’s name and the choice’s value its volume.

    Finally, to get the total volume, you only need to insert a calculated field with the equation:

    
fieldname1

    As you can see, the equation would be the name of the checkbox field, because the plugin will sum by itself the values of the ticked choices.

    In a similar way, if you insert more than one checkbox field (for example: fieldname1, fieldname2, and fieldname3), one per category, and every checkbox field represents the furniture in the corresponding category, the equation associated to the calculated field would be:

    
fieldname1+fieldname2+fieldname3

    Best regards.

    hi thanks for the reply.

    Is it possible to import products from woocommerce into this plugin…or would i need to create all of the items of furniture from scratch?

    There are about 150 of them that i already have in woocommerce.

    Hello @computersimulatorscom

    In fact, the WooCommerce products are posts (similar to the other common posts in WooCommerce, like pages and posts) with a custom post_type (product). So, if you know the name of the column that store’s the metadata of the volume corresponding to the products, you can use the set of DS fields (these are set of controls distributed with the Developer and Platinum versions of the plugin, whose values are read from an external data-source, like
    a database or CSV file), in this particular case a “Checkbox DS” field, for reading the products titles (as the choices’ texts) and volumes (as the choices’ values) from the database of your website.
