Managing field and urls and paramets

Hello @mack1990

The getField operation can be used only in the context of an equation. You cannot call the getField operation from any other place.

I’m not sure what do you mean by the getURLHash and the value of a calculated field. The hash part of the URL is preceding by the # symbol. It identifies the section in the page where to jump after loading the page. The getURLHash operation returns the hash into the current URL.

Could you describe what you need and indicate the URL of the form to verify its structure, please?

Best regards.

I have interactive element which change # onclick action. I though I can set value from this to use it in equivalence.

Can you describe me how should be insert getField tag in hipotetically formula? I mean, there is F1, in f2 I write getfield(1).setVal(3) and it cause that I can in F3 write f1*50 or f2*50 ? I need write something more or something?

Hello @mack1990

The getField is an operation that receives the numeric part of a field’s name and returns its object representation. And setVal is a method that assigns a value to the field.

Could you send me the link to the form and describe the real use case to understand your project, please?

Best regards.

I just have a drawing of hotspots, and on each element there is an

in formula a href=”#pierogi”

element selected. I thought by the geturlhash function i could it connected with Calculated field form.

Hello @mack1990

Sorry, you are making a mistake about the way browsers work.

For example, assuming your form is located in the URL:

https://www.yourwebsite.com/form-page

And you have a calculated field with the equation getURLHash()

If you visit the webpage with a hash like:

https://www.yourwebsite.com/form-page#pierogi

The equation value would be #pierogi

So far so good. But you have hotspots with hashes. When you click them, the browser jumps to the tag with the id corresponding to the hash, but this action does not reload the page or tell the form it must reevaluate the equations. Your hotspots code must tell the form that should reevaluate the equation, for example, by calling the EVALEQUATIONS operation (https://cff.dwbooster.com/documentation#managing-fields-module).

Best regards.

So in hypothetically formula is:

EVALEQUATION(form, ‘fieldname1’);

so:

1)
in calculated field form named fieldname2 I insert:
EVALEQUATION(getelementbyclass*(“pierogi”).setVal(10), fieldname1**);
or
EVALEQUATION(getURLHash(#pierogi).setVal(10), fieldname1);

*this class I give the css
** this is html content I insert into form.

2) to make calculation with this hotspot area I make another calculated field form and make formula like usual for example: fieldname2 * 1000?

Hello @mack1990

No, I’m sorry, none of these equations has sense. The getURLHash operation does not require any parameter. Furthermore, this operation returns a hash, and the hash is a text, not an object. You cannot call the setVal method for a text. And something similar happens with your other equation.

Sorry, but I cannot implement your project through the WordPress forum.

So there is way to connect hot spot with your CFF by hashes and we make huge step make solution.

>>Return text<<, so this start interactive with the CFF.
Now I can use any logical formula such as in another field?

If(fieldname3 == “pierogi”) return 50;??

My project is not secret service, just simple html css, there’s lots of page’s how to create hotspot

I just do not understand working the ENABLEEQUATIONS(form) at all
if I have more then “pierogi” but also “bigos”, “schabowy” and “oscypek”

I should have form formulas like fieldname3 ENABLEEQUATIONS(geturlhash(‘pierogi’), fieldname4 “oscypek” etc ?

Hello @mack1990

I said EVALEQUATIONS, not ENABLEEQUATIONS. Every time you press a hotspot, you must call the operation to evaluate the equations. Please, understand the problem is not in the form. The form does not know when you clicked on a link because they are not part of the form. You are focusing the problem in the wrong direction. Your hotspot code must tell the form when evaluating the equations.

Best regards.

I am beginning to understand. I thought the calculator would see the new url #reads url displayed in the browser every time I click on the hotspot.

you can’t force the calculator to constantly check what is # on the page?

what things do you have to do on the hotspot side for your calculator to see it? it is about giving it an appropriate id of “fieldname999” type, some API code, or maybe JS?

Hello @mack1990

You must call the EVALEQUATIONS operation, passing as parameter the form’s object. This operation evaluates the equations associated with the calculated fields in the form.

Best regards.

1. to sum up, so EVALEQUATIONS I need to put in >html content< where my hotspot is and write form object fieldname3 [EVALEQUATIONS(fieldname3)] where is function “getUrlhash(pierogi). then in option2 write evelequations(fieldname4) where is “geturlhash(bigos) etc.
and when I do it step by step, put logical formula.

2. I also came up with a new use for this feature for me. I have a rebate program, or if someone enters the page with #summer
will be able to have the discount calculated immediately? the above case concerned specific #pages, this one differs in that it can type anything.

Hello @mack1990

Please, read the documentation of the plugin’s operations:

https://cff.dwbooster.com/documentation#managing-fields-module

Please, do not confuse the EVALEQUATIONS and EVALEQUATION operations. The first one evaluates all the equations associated with the calculated fields in the form and requires only one parameter, the form’s object. The second operation evaluates a specific equation and requires two parameters, the form’s object, and the field’s name.

Furthermore, as I said in previous responses, the getURLHash operation does not require any parameter.

If you need that someone implements your project, you can contact me through my private website. But I cannot develop your project through the WordPress forum.
