Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am trying to build a function in which it calculates a monthly payment, and returns the result in a searchable loop template.
I was able to do this using php and on an individual page. Pull the Current Price value into a php snippet and doing the calculation and returning the results. But when I put this shortcode into the loop it crashes. Is this even possible?
Is there any documentation that you are following?
Yes, toolset help docs
Is there a similar example that we can see?
Page with the function working....hidden link (Scroll down below the javascript mortgage calculator
What is the link to your site?

my PHP code is follows:
<?php
function percent($number){
return $number * 100 . '%';
}
function monthlyPymt() {
//$loanAmt = 584125; //amount borrowed
// get the post id and assign it to a variable
$post_id = get_the_ID();
//get the value from the field as it appears in the post with the ID from above and assign it to a variable
$fieldval = types_get_field_meta_value( 'current-price', $post_id );
//transfer the array to the loan amount (post id and current-price)
$loanAmt = $fieldval;
$intRate = 4.5; //interest rate
$term = 30; //term
$months = ( $term * 12 );
$answer = ($loanAmt * ($intRate / 100)) / 12;
$answer_two = ( $loanAmt * (($intRate/12) / 100) / ( 1 - pow( 1 + (($intRate/12) / 100), -$months)) );
// echo (types_render_field( 'current-price', array() ));
// echo (get_post_meta( $post->ID, "current-price", false ));
echo "Loan Amount $", number_format($loanAmt,2);
echo "<br>";
echo "Term ", ($term), " years";
echo "<br>";
echo "Interest Rate Percentage ", number_format($intRate,2), "%";
echo "<br>"; echo "<br>";
echo "Monthly Payments would be "; echo "<br>"; echo "<br>";
echo "Interest Only $", number_format($answer,2);
echo "<br>";
echo "<div id='results'><p class='calc_result'>Monthly Payment $", number_format($answer_two,2) , "</p></div>";
}
monthlyPymt(); // call the function
// register shortcode
add_shortcode('payments', 'monthlyPymt');?>
Ultimately, I only need to show the Monthly Payment under the Full price in the Looped View. - The mortgage calculator will be on the main linked page for users to tinker with. The interest rate, term and will be hidden on the loop page, but is showing now as a way to double check the math is correct.

I also tried using the Formiddable forms shortcode in the loop templates, and contacted them - they said it was not supported.
Thank you for you assistance. (As usual - you guys are amazing)
