You can then associate the number field with other fields (multiple choice, checkboxes, dropdown, price) </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/quantity-in-paypalpayment#post-17995 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 01:23:30 +0000 Fa 17995@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Thanks Yuniar, reading through various posts, it is what i guessed would be coming soon. Which is good news indeed! </p> <p>Note: Yuniar, am i correct to understand that only the number field could be used as a qty and not the dropdown field?</p> <p>Currently, on the form i am working on where qty is 'attached' to the dropdown, i noticed that:<br /> - when i reload, or when there is an error in the form, the total becomes wrong (and forgets the qty), so i will be looking at finding the amendments to make.<br /> - that using the tab and arrow on the keyboard to increase the value in the dropdown, the total doesn't change unless i press enter in the dropdown after scrolling on a value with the keydown. (this one, i'll pass... because the submission goes correctly)</p> <p>I mention these in case the dropdown field 'joins' the number field with the qty, in the coming feature. ;-)</p> <p>Needless to say that i will certainly use the qty feature when it's released. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/quantity-in-paypalpayment#post-17994 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 22:54:22 +0000 williamansley 17994@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Fabulous news!

I'm not sure if this would made you happy or upset but we've added the Quantity support for payment-enabled forms within the next update (v3.5)</p> <p>You will be able to use the "Number" field to calculate with other price-enabled field. Here is some screenshot of the number field property:</p> <p><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8241/8647151639_05eb409b8c_o.jpg" /></p> <p>We're still working on few other features and hopefully v3.5 will be available within May, next month. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/quantity-in-paypalpayment#post-17980 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 14:28:56 +0000 Fa 17980@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Update:</p> <p>I noticed that the email notifications and the entry in the form manager were not reflecting the proper total, so also modified (hard-coded) this function: mf_get_payment_total in includes\post-functions.php (something similar as in mf_get_merchant_redirect_url). </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/quantity-in-paypalpayment#post-17977 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 19:25:24 +0000 Fa 17977@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Update: </p> <p>Thanks to this post<br /> <a href="http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/pass-additional-information-to-paypal-machform-3x?replies=11#post-14977" rel="nofollow">http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/pass-additional-information-to-paypal-machform-3x?replies=11#post-14977</a><br /> I managed to have paypal display my selection by hard-coding in include\post-functions.php<br /> just above <code>if(!empty($amount) &#38;&#38; ($amount !== '0.00')){ </code><br /> something with if $form_id == 'myform' and adding a ' quantity' in $paypal_params which pulled out the qty value from $price_titles </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/quantity-in-paypalpayment#post-17974 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 15:36:39 +0000 Fa 17974@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi,<br /> I've been thinking as well to have a qty field that will affect the total and had the following thoughts:</p> <p>- what i have:<br /> * a multi-radio list (required with a default value checked)<br /> * a qty combo dropdown that contains in custom css class the value: qty_3 where 3 is the id of the radio list in my case li_3 (i looked at the form source code to find that value) (required with a default value 1 selected) (the qty_3 class doesn't exist, just used as a link between the combo and the radio list)<br /> * in the payment panel associated to the form, i have dropped in both fields, have put my values on the radios but i left the combo untouched, ie 0 for each value<br /> * in the handler of the radio button, there is some code that looks for the associated qty_X where X is the id of the parent of the current radio (ie li_X) and gets the text of the qty combo selected item; then it is just used to multiply with the value of pricedef<br /> * in the handler of the select/combo (below in the same block) on the change, there is some code to check that in the class of the parent there is something like "qty_", if so, find the "li_X" where X is the value in qty_X and trigger a click action on the checked radio button.</p> <p>So, if i click on a radio, look for the value in the associated combo and multiply, if i change the value in the combo, look for the checked radio and trigger its handler to recompute.</p> <p>It all worked ok on the front-end and displays the proper total but on the submit, it doesn't ie on the paypal page. And looking further, i see that the form stores in the database the selected items (combo and radio) and in the ap_element_prices the prices shown in the form. So the qty meaning is "lost". And the paypal code "looks" inside the tables to post its values.</p> <p>Has anyone gone further with a "quantity field"?<br /> Thanks. </p>
