This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
How to calculate the value of a custom field based on other custom fields values?
Solution:
Here is solution, please add the code in functions.php file:
function calculate_fields( $post_ID ) {
if ( get_post_type( $post_ID ) == 'net-worth' ) {
$total_assets = $total_liabilities = 0;
// Assets
$cash_on_hand = get_post_meta($post_ID, 'wpcf-ass-cash-on-hand', true);
$checking_accounts = get_post_meta($post_ID, 'wpcf-ass-checking-accounts', true);
$money_market_acc = get_post_meta($post_ID, 'wpcf-ass-money-market-accounts', true);
// Libilities
$credit_cards = get_post_meta($post_ID, 'wpcf-lib-credit-cards', true);
$home_mortgages = get_post_meta($post_ID, 'wpcf-lib-home-mortgages', true);
// Total Assets
$total_assets = $cash_on_hand + $checking_accounts + $money_market_acc;
update_post_meta( $post_ID, 'wpcf-total-assets', $total_assets );
// Total Liabilities
$total_liabilities = $credit_cards + $home_mortgages;
update_post_meta( $post_ID, 'wpcf-total-liabilities', $total_liabilities );
// Net Worth
$net_worth = $total_assets - $total_liabilities;
update_post_meta( $post_ID, 'wpcf-net-worth', $net_worth );
}
}
add_action( 'save_post', 'calculate_fields', 99 );
We need to add cred hook to call the calculation function. I have added the following code in custom functions.php file, and it is working as expected, see attached screenshot: https://cdn.toolset.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/569909-fields_calculated.png?x41285
add_action('cred_save_data', 'my_save_data_action',10,2);
function my_save_data_action($post_id, $form_data) {
// if a specific form
if ($form_data['id']==1337) {
calculate_fields( $post_id );
}
}
