Calculation in Backend Field

Hi Jayme,

You could write a plugin to do it.

The basic code would look something like this:

if (@$_REQUEST['menu'] == 'product_orders') {
$_REQUEST['myField'] = "my new value";
}

Or you could hook into the save function if you wanted to do something more elegant.

Hope that helps! Let me know if that will work for you.

I think I see what you mean Dave. Thanks for the steer. I'll see what I can cobble together.

Still hoping for a CMSB shopping cart / e-comm toolkit. ;-)

Me too! Can't wait to replace the paypal we're using in the add-ons store.

We just released a couple new plugins with more membership functions. We have a geolocating one in development next, maybe sometime after that.

I'd like it to be able to tied to the current users account so it stores their cart items in their profile like amazon does. Many people probably want non-login carts though.

Ironically, the current project would work better for my client with the profile-based cart, but I agree, most of the time the non-login would be desired.


If I manage to get this to work over the next couple of days I'll be sure to post the results. Might be forced to do everything in the front-end though as if one desired backend-feature can not be easily accomplished, then everything will have to be done elsewhere for the sake of consistency for the sure. <sigh>
