Tell us what you are trying to do?

I'm trying to create a function that populates a custom field based on a percentage value presented in one field (wpcf-commission-percent) and the value to find the percentage of (wpcf-property-price) creating a populated field (wpcf-percentage-commission-value). This is so I can show how much someone could earn if a house is sold.

The code I'm using currently is as follows ...........

<?php
/**
* New custom code snippet.
*/

toolset_snippet_security_check() or die( 'Direct access is not allowed' );

function calculate_commission( $post_ID ) {

if ( get_post_type( $post_ID ) == 'property' ) {

$commission_percent = get_post_meta($post_ID, 'wpcf-commission-percent', true);

$property_price = get_post_meta($post_ID, 'wpcf-property-price', true);

$commission_divider = $property_price / 100;
update_post_meta( $post_ID, 'wpcf-commission-divider', $commission_divider );

$commission_value = $commission_divider * $commission_percent;
update_post_meta( $post_ID, 'wpcf-percentage-commission-value', $commission_value );

}

}
add_action( 'save_post', 'calculate_commission', 99 );

Is there a similar example that we can see?

I built this based off of a previous example of something similar here ......

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Edward,

Thank you for contacting us and I'll be happy to assist.

Can you please make sure that all custom field slugs and post type slug (i.e. "property") used are correct and update your code slightly to:

function calculate_commission( $post_id ) {

	if ( get_post_type( $post_id ) == 'property' ) {

		$commission_percent = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-commission-percent', true);

		$property_price = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-property-price', true);

		$commission_divider = $property_price / 100;
		update_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-commission-divider', $commission_divider );

		$commission_value = $commission_divider * $commission_percent;
		update_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-percentage-commission-value', $commission_value );

	}

}
add_action( 'save_post', 'calculate_commission', 99 );

Please test this code with all non-Toolset plugins temporarily disabled, to rule out any code conflict.
