Since Cost Calculator Version 1.2.1, Cost Calculator Settings contain the field for URL that you want your users to be redirected to.
In order to redirect users to another page after submitting the form, add the URL to ‘Optional URL for confirmation’ field.
Please unpack plugin folder and upload to your wp-content/plugins using FTP. The archive contains not only plugin but also the other files.
If you want to upload in admin panel, you need to unpack plugin folder (bt_cost_calculator) and pack it again as zip and then upload that zip.
There are two ways to update Cost Calculator plugin - through wp-admin or through FTP.
Since plugin version 2.2.4 it is possible to update plugin through your dashboard, in Updates panel. In order to be able to do this, you will need to register your purchase code.
You can register your purchase code in Cost Calculator >Product License panel, on your dashboard.
Other option to update Cost Calculator to the latest version is to download the plugin folder from the download section of your CodeCanyon profile and update through FTP. We suggest that you use Filezilla to access your server. Here is the article that explains how Filezilla works.
Extract bt_cost_calculator file from the folder you downloaded, and upload it to /wp-content/plugins/ folder of your WordPress installation. You will be prompted to overwrite the existing files. Select 'Yes', and the plugin will update.
If you have made some changes in the plugin's code, you will need to reapply the changes in the new version.
Cost Calculators that were made before update will be preserved.
The procedure is standard – you can find the .pot file in the plugin’s languages folder.
Please use PoEdit - https://poedit.net/ to translate the .pot file and create respective .po and .mo fies.
You should upload .po and .mo files created using PoEdit back to plugin's languages folder.
Please name .po and .mo files e.g. bt-cost-calculator-nl_NL.po and bt-cost-calculator-nl_NL.mo (nl_NL is the language code for dutch) and place them in /wp-content/plugins/bt_cost_calculator/languages/.
For other languages code, please refer to the following link: Internationalization.
You can set the site language of your WordPress installation on Settings > General. WordPress will automatically use the right language files if they exist.
Install Loco Translate plugin - https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/ on Plugins panel of your wp-admin console
Once you have the plugin installed and activated, please do the following:
1. Go to Loco Translate > Plugins.
2. Click on Cost Calculator.
3. Click on Advanced tab and set Text Domain and File Prefix to “bt-cost-calculator”. By default they are probably “bt_cost_calculator”.
4. Set Template file to languages/bt-cost-calculator.pot and Save Config. Go to Overview Tab.
5. Click New Language and choose the language you have set in WordPress > General Settings.
6. Set Choose location to Author (plugins/bt_cost_calculator/languages/bt_cost_calculator-xx_XX.po).
7. Click Start translating.
8. Translate the strings you need - you do not have to translate the entire set.
9. Once you save the translation, the changes should be visible on Front End if you have done everything as described.
From Cost Calculator Version 1.2.1, initial value can be set in Cost Calculator Item Settings.
In order to set initial value for Select item, you need to add the index of the item you want to display as initial, in 'Initial select list index' field.
For example, if you have three items in Select field, and you want the second one to be initial, you would add number 2 to the field.
Custom CSS code should be added to your theme's Custom / Additional CSS field.
If you use WP Bakery Page Builder (former Visual Composer) you should click on Page Settings button in the upper right corner of WP Bakery Page Builder's interface on relevant Page Edit Form:
Alternatively, you can use third party plugin, e.g. Simple Custom CSS.
From Cost Calculator Version 1.2.1, 'Next' button can be removed in Cost Calculator settings.
In order to hide ‘Next’ button, deselect the ‘Enable Contact Form’ field.
In order to change format of total value, you'll need to modify plugin’s code.
Please locate line 544 in cc.main.js in plugin’s folder. It should have the following code:
total = total.toFixed( decimals );
Replace the noted line with the following statement:
total = Math.round(total);
total = total.toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ".");
Make sure to clear cache after making the changes.
We can provide no weekend function into the date picker option. Please follow next steps:
1. Use next Custom CSS and add them to Customizer > Additional CSS field:
.ui-datepicker-week-end {
display: none !important;
}
2. Also, make sure to add next JS into Custom JS field in Customizer > General Settings:
const picker = document.getElementById('date');
picker.addEventListener('input', function(e){
var day = new Date(this.value).getUTCDay();
if([6,0].includes(day)){
e.preventDefault();
this.value = '';
alert('Weekends not allowed');
}
});
3. Than edit line 444 in bt_cost_calculator.php file, located in \wp-content\plugins\bt_cost_calculator folder on your site :
$output .= '<div class="btQuoteItem' . $m_date . '"><input type="text" class="btContactDate btContactField" placeholder="' . $date_text . '"></div>';
replace with next line:
$output .= '<div class="btQuoteItem' . $m_date . '"><input type="text" class="btContactDate btContactField" id="date" placeholder="' . $date_text . '"></div>';
With new plugin update you will not loose any content, but it will affect and overwrite any changes in the bt_cost_calculator.php code that you've made. The best way is to manually repeat modifications with new update.
From Cost Calculator Version 1.2.1, initial value can be set in Cost Calculator Item Settings.
In order to set initial value for Switch item, you need to add 'On' value to 'Initial value' field.
For example, if 'On' value is 1, you should add number 1 to the field.
In order to change the sender name, if the visitor and admin are receiving an e-mail from "Wordpress", we suggest you to avoid code customization and to install a third party plugin which will allow this. For example this one: WP Simple Mail Sender.
