Excel Spreadsheet

User BPC2022 2025-09-24 16:41:52

I have an odd problem. Ive copied an older calculator to update and make changes. The older version doesnt require a spreadsheet, however, the changes im doing require a spreadsheet. When I upload the spreadsheet, the calculator stops working even though I havent written the php code to connect to the spreadsheet yet.

Hi,
at the time you upload an spreadsheet, it will try to execute following the configuration of the parameter

'Spreadsheet calculation launches'. (Before/After PHP/At a custom point)

With 'before' or 'after' php, the spreadsheet will launch automatically, maybe if you have not mapped inputs/outputs yet this can cause error or empty output.

With 'custom point', it will only launch at the point of the php where you insert the

//

line.

If you can't get it working, you can zip your calculator together with the spreadsheet and attach it to the ticket, we'll take a look here and let you know if there is any other configuration missing.

Ive got it working. It was a setting in excel. However, i updated calcbuilder and the HIKA Shop add to cart button has disapeared on all my calculators. Ive gone back to an earlier version and they are working again. You might want to check that out

Hi,
ok, thanks for sharing. The latest version had a conflict with a new feature regarding google recaptcha. We updated the package but maybe you downloaded just before and now the fix doesn't appear you as a new update. We've just created a new version (5.6.2) so you can update again. Please try this new one and let us know if you still have problems with hika connection.

Thanks, regards

Ive updated and all seems good now. Also, is there any way to change the name of the PDF file so that we can customise it. Also the modal window has the heading Result. Where can this be changed please. We would like to rename to Quotation.

Hi,
perfect, thanks for the feedback.
Regarding your questions, both texts can be configured using the language files, here the files and the translation keys for both of them;


language/en-GB/com_calcbuilder.ini
DOWNLOAD_PDF="download"

language/en-GB/mod_calcbuilder.ini
RESULTS="Result"

You can override them using the option System > Manage > Language Overrides

Please contact again in case you need further help.
Thanks, regards
