Price based on width and height entered by customer

    Hello there. I have a problem that I thought would be solved by the measurement price calculator extension, but that extension doesn’t do what I expected at all! (I wonder if I’m the only person to think that?)

    I’m creating a site that sells banners and other printed products at custom sizes. The customer needs to be able to enter a width and a height and have a price generated that is an area calculation based on that width and height.

    The measurement price calculator ties this calculation into the quantity for some reason (ie. it works out how many of a product to order based on the given dimensions), I can’t image many people wanting to use it like that, but I might be wrong.

    I need a customer to choose, say, a 2m x 1m banner, have a price displayed that’s calculated from a per square metre price, and then be able to update the quantity to decide how many of those 2m x 1m banners they want.

    Can I do this in any of the following ways:

    * With the measurement price calculator extension
    * With a “width” and “height” attribute
    * In some other way I haven’t thought of?

    Cheers,

    Dave

  • Hello Deaner666, thank you for the explanation. I was having the same issue.

    I also noticed a file upload functionality at the product. How did you do that?

    With kind regards,
    Matthijs

    PS, the whole square feet solution is compatible with the layout of WooCommerce?
    Also, is de 99 dollar version capable of doing the square feet calculation?

    I custom designed the cart (without gravity form and woo commerce product adon) and is working good visit https://online-sign-design.net, and have a look at it the site is not yet complete, but cart is working fine, you have to click “Calculate design” https://online-sign-design.net/?page_id=544?url=svgimages/test2.svg. you have to register with the site to see the calculator

    Hi Mattie_d,

    I don’t think it matters which tier of Gravity Forms you use, as far as I know they all have calculation fields.

    The file upload field is a part of the Gravity Forms form. File upload fields are a standard part of the package.

    I’m using a (heavily) modified WooThemes theme. They have built-in styles for Gravity Forms, but I usually end up doing the odd CSS tweak to fit in with my modifications.

    Hi Deaner666 – firstly, thank you very much for all the information you’ve posted so far – your site looks and works great.

    I too need the same functionality – a price worked out on a calculation of a width * height * price. I’ve followed all the information you’ve given so far but still can’t get the total calculation to affect the price. It stays at ￡0.

    I’m using the same set up as you are but can’t get the ‘sub-total’ fields (number calculation fields) to affect the final price.

    The general set up is there are three options (normal radio buttons) relating to 3 different prices. The customer enters a width and a height and the total price is calculated based on the option chosen. I’ve used conditional logic on the sub total fields with different calculations depending on the option chosen (width * height * option) which then calculates a sub total. However, this sub total doesn’t affect the Total field at all.

    Is there something I’m missing about how the total price gets calculated?

    Thank you very much in advance – your help with this would be very much appreciated.

    Are you setting the product field type to calculation? I’ve worked out a way to get the total to change on the product page but when it’s added to the cart, the price is still ￡0 a bit like the problem zaheeratd was having.

    Thanks

    I have now worked this out after days of tinkering…

    For anyone else struggling with this – when Deaner666 talks about calculation fields when working out the overall price, he uses the Product field from the ‘Pricing Fields’ menu and enables the calculation in there. If you have three options (using radio buttons from Standard Fields), you’ll need 3 Product fields with conditional logic tied to the radio buttons.

    This was very useful! Thanks all! I spent a lot of time to get this to work. I bought the Measurement Price Calculator, which was not the way to go, since the total field (calculation of h x w x price/unit) of that plugin cannot be used in the GravityForms add-on.

    This solution should be published with the GravityForms add-on, I think it will help a lot of people who run into this kind of user enabled input fields.

    Sorry I seem to have missed the last few replies to this thread…

    @samkitson – Glad you got it worked out in the end, apologies for not seeing you had posted questions.

    @peterluit – I’m happy people are finding this solution useful

    On a side-note for those of you using the Gravity Forms Product Add Ons extensions – make sure you keep it up-to-date! I’m not sure why but practically every update of WordPress (including the recent 3.6.1 point release) seems to break something in the extension. The developer is pretty quick to fix issues though.

    Cheers all,

    Hi Guys,

    Apologies for jumping in here but I’m after a little advice which I can’t find the answer for.

    I’m looking at buying Measurement Price calculator. It will be on a site that sells foam cut to size.

    Can Measurement Price calculator be set up to handle 3 dimensions? (Height x Width x Length)

    The examples I’ve seen show a maximum of two dimensions in the calculations.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Hi mylayabout,

    I doubt measurement price calculator will be what you’re looking for, unless it’s changed radically since I last used it. Even if it copes with the three dimensions it works in a different way to what you would expect. It would take the dimensions and tell you how many of the product you require and set that as the product quantity.

    You’d probably be better off with the gravity forms and gravity forms product addons method that I worked out and other people have had success with. You should be able to figure it out from the previous posts in this thread.

    Cheers,

    Dave

    Thanks Dave, I’ll look into that… it’s never as simple as it should be!

    Cheers pal

    Very useful your posts! Thanks all you guys!

    Can you please give me some help?
    As per Deaner666, I’ve used a Product Price Field, named “Sub Total”, as a Calculation in order to get square meter based price.
    After the submission, the Cart/Check-out shows me the “Sub total” field followed by their own label, the Qty Label (I’ve disable it in the form)and the Price, all togheter as the value.

    Have you any ideas why?
    I need only the Price value as currency.

    thanks in advance

    Cheers

    I’m using gravity forms product addons with woocommerce. Deaner666’s posts solved a lot of problems of my test site. Big thanks to you for that. I’m now facing a minor issue on the cart. The cart shows total qty,price etc. for variations.

    Check the image below:

    Is there a way to remove it? I want it to show only like “Total: Rs.100” instead of all those un-necessary stuffs like qty.

    Your replies will be highly appreciated.
