how do we calculate sq. ft. into our carts?

[imaaxx]

Hello

I have looked in the forums and found very little about adding sq. ft. calculations to our cart check out.

 

I am building a site for a flooring company we need the ability to calculate square footages for example:

 

The person knows how many square feet of a product they need so they can just type in the amount to the cart and have it add the price for them of the product they have selected.

 

or

 

they don?t know the square footage of a room but they have the room dimensions ?length x width? then have the cart do the calculations ? amount ? x ?price?.

 

I would like to have both options on my pages.

 

Is there a contribution for this? Unfortunately I am not a PHP programmer, so any help would be appreciated.

 

thanks in advance ?.

I have this script that may help.

 

Add this to the head of the page:

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Begin
var formulas = new Array()
formulas["square"] = "Math.pow(num_one,2)";
formulas["rectangle"] = "num_one * num_two"
formulas["parallelg"] = "num_one * num_two";
formulas["triangle"] = "num_one * num_two / 2";

function getCheckedNum()
{
var selected;
for(var loop=0;loop<window.document.convert.to_which.length;loop++)
{
if(window.document.convert.to_which[loop].checked == true)
{
selected = loop;
}
}
return selected;
}
function calculate(num_one,num_two)
{
if((isNaN(parseInt(num_one))) || (isNaN(parseInt(num_two))))
{
alert('You must enter numbers');
return;
}
var selected_index = getCheckedNum();
var selected_value = window.document.convert.to_which[selected_index].value;
if((selected_value == "square") && (num_one != num_two))
{
alert('Your square is not square');
return;
}
formula = formulas[selected_value];
var answer = eval(formula);
alert(answer);
}
//  End -->

</script>

 

Add this to the body of the page:

 

<form name="convert">
Find the area of a:<br>
  <input type="radio" checked="yes" name="to_which" value="square">square<br>
  <input type="radio" name="to_which" value="rectangle">rectangle<br>

  <input type="radio" name="to_which" value="parallelg">parallelogram<br>
  <input type="radio" name="to_which" value="triangle">triangle<br>
The length is: <input type="text" size="5" name="base">   The width is: <input type="text" size="5" name="height"><br>
<input type="button" value="calculate" onclick="calculate(window.document.convert.base.value,window.document.convert.height.value);">
</form>

 

Hope it helps and I copied it correctly
