Completely dynamic price...

[RoyMunson]

I recently wrote a small carbon offset calculator using PHP, for a customer.

The user enters how much CO2 they use, and the script calculates how much this will cost to offset.

This amount is therefore completely variable.

Although not in the spec, the customer now wants to an "Add to cart" button, so this gets added to an Actinic cart, which they already use elsewhere on their site.

Does anyone have any ideas please on how I could implement this?

I've never used Actinic before, but I'm impressed, it looks like a really powerful tool for people with no programming experience

Many thanks in advance for any help

If anybody is inerested I've just found these threads which might help me with this:

I'd be interested if anybody else has any other ideas though?

Hi,

I can't think of any way to do this other than the suggestions from the other threads I'm afraid. The prices have to be set in the product, so the suggestion of setting the product price to 1p or £1 would be the best solution for you as far as I can see.

I would be interested in this script if you also get it working with actinic. Would make a nice feature on my site. If you get it working, let me know how much you are charging/will charge for it.

Thanks,
Paul.

Thanks Paul, I'll definitely let you know when I get it working
