[Gelöst] Adding Values Together

I have a custom repeater group. In the group is a number field. Now, in the post type I have 4 sets. The number fields are all 5.

I want to have a view that will add all those number fields together and give the result. I cannot figure out how to do this. The view is looping through the fields and outputting in

tags. But I need them to combine as one output. I know sometimes you can have the view output with a comma separator. Is there any way to use this to spit out all of my custom field values so I can do some math on them?

I am using this as an example: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/math-with-custom-fields-values/#post-509325

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

There isn't such a built-in feature within Views plugin, and it needs custom codes, you can try this:
1) put the custom PHP codes into your theme file functions.php:

add_shortcode('calculate', function( $atts = [], $content=null ) {
 
    $atts = shortcode_atts([ 'round' => 0 ], $atts );
 
    $content = wpv_do_shortcode($content);
    $content = eval("return $content;");
    return round($content, $atts['round']);
});

2) Create a view list your custom repeater group, in the section "Loop Editor", use above custom shortcode like this:

...
	<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
		[calculate round=2]<wpv-loop>[wpv-item index=1][types field="num1"][/types][wpv-item index=other]+[types field="num1"][/types]</wpv-loop>[/calculate]
	<!-- wpv-loop-end -->
...

It will be able to output the results as math calculation.

Used in the loop. Sets a condition to be met for subsequent lines in the loop to be executed.
