"HikaShopCustom Quantity plugin"

I have a drape product configured successfully to multiply width and length for a total price per square foot but i also would like to have a rod product that multiplies the price per foot only for length. So length multiplied by price per foot.

$5 per foot x 10 feet = $50


A link to my unsuccessfully product configuration is here:

Hi,

You have to use the Custom quantity plugin indeed, but to use it correctly, you have to create a custom item field with a column name equal to "ordered_length".
This way it will do the calculation based on the value set in that custom field.

The "Custom quantity plugin" should already be installed successfully because I am using it to calculate the price per foot correctly, right? Here are screenshots of the configuration I have setup for the Display -> Custom Field -> New Item

and the resulting bad math in the cart

Hi,

There is a misunderstanding here.
There are several custom quantity plugins.
You have installed one which handle the width*length calculations.
If you want to handle length calculations, you would need another one.
However, two custom quantity plugins cannot work together. So that leaves you with having to modifying the one you have to handle the calculations in both cases.

It's not complex. Edit the plugin php file and you'll see this piece of code (twice in the file) normally:
if(!empty($product->length) && !empty($product->width)){
$quantity = $quantity*$product->length*$product->width;
}
You could just add after that (in both places) :
if(!empty($product->ordered_length) ){
$quantity = $quantity*$product->ordered_length;
}

and that should do it.
