Re: [kcmedia] Ideas Please
Hi Craig,
I'd imagine this would make sense as an email form.
Let's say you have a Menu Items section with fields such as:
Title (for the item's name), Content (for the item's description), and Price
You'd want to display a list page, and add a text field for each record for the user to enter a quantity. Then you'd need some JavaScript to subtotal the prices * quantities, and probably more JavaScript to add tax.
Here's a (relatively) simple example:
<?php header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); ?>
<?php
// load viewer library
$libraryPath = 'cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php';
$dirsToCheck = array('C:/wamp/www/sb/CMS Builder/','','../','../../','../../../');
foreach ($dirsToCheck as $dir) { if (@include_once("$dir$libraryPath")) { break; }}
if (!function_exists('getRecords')) { die("Couldn't load viewer library, check filepath in sourcecode."); }
// load records
list($menu_itemsRecords, $menu_itemsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'menu_items',
));
?>

console.log("hello world");
var subtotal = 0;
for (var num in prices) {
var price = prices[num];
var quantity = 0 + $("input[name=quantity-"+num+"]").val();
var lineTotal = price * quantity;
$("#line-total-"+num).html(lineTotal ? '$' + lineTotal.toFixed(2) : '');
subtotal += lineTotal;
}
$("#subtotal").html(subtotal.toFixed(2));
$("#tax" ).html((subtotal * 0.14).toFixed(2));
$("#total" ).html((subtotal * 1.14).toFixed(2));
});
});

</body>
</html>You'll want to do the same calculations again on the server side before sending off the email, since you shouldn't trust your web visitors not to submit other values.
I hope this helps get you started! Please let me know if you have any questions.
All the best,
Chris
