CalcBuilder Tutorial

Example: the Field Types Showcase

A single calculator that shows every Calc Builder field type side by side, so you can see how each one looks and behaves on the front end. Use it as a reference while you build your own forms.

All Calc Builder field types on one form
The Field Types Showcase calculator — Number, Date, Option List, Multiple Option, Linked List, Radiobutton, Yes/No, Text, Autocompleter, Textarea, Upload, Captcha and an Inline live value.

How it is built

  1. Create a calculator, open Form Fields and add one field per type; give each a clear Variable.
  2. For the choice types (Option List, Multiple Option, Radiobutton, Linked List, Autocompleter) fill the Options list.
  3. Arrange them with a label each in the Form Layout using ##variable## placeholders.
  4. In the Exit Layout echo each value back with ##variable## (join array values first with a line of PHP).
