Has the problem with variable...

Looking around and find post several years old and didn't seem like the problem was solved.
I would like a list of set amounts then an other choice, somewhere I read you could do a radio button and when the clicked on the other button a box would pop up, trying to locate the thread again, but I have set up a number field with the price a 1.00 and left it up to them to fill in the placeholder with their amount in even dollar increments.
Just wondering if there is a better way.

Hiya Rick,

Not sure where that thread is either, but basically that would be a conditional where you would create your radio button element, then create another element with a number box that you would set to be a payment box via the payment check box on the options of that element. From there you would set the Show setup to only show if they choose the Radio button that says something like Enter your own amount. When they choose that it would then show the box for them to enter the amount in it. It's all a conditional pair and shouldn't be too hard to setup.

This is just a donation setup, that can can be modified to work the way you want. It shows 2 donation blocks on 1 form and the user inputs both amounts. When submitted they are added together. If you don't like the amount, just hit the link to go back to the form, or if you like it then continue to PayPal. If you need help setting up the form I can probably find a little time to help you out. But WFB works really well doing what you are asking about. Having a fixed or selected amount, then another fixed or selected amount added to it should be no problem.

Without getting into any coding, this is how I would do it ... http://gunsmoke.me/formtest/widgets

I have thought about adding a box with the price 1 dollar and telling them to add the amount in even dollars that they wish to donate.

Just found this, judging by the layout it must be an older version of FB.

I think you guys are overthinking this form or I am totally misunderstanding what you want.

When I read the first post here you are basically saying you want to be able to tell people to either choose a set amount or have the ability to choose "other" on the radio button. If they choose other you then have a second box show up where they can then insert the amount.

If what I said is correct, then my first post outlines how you would do that. It's all done with the conditionals and you would put a conditional on the input box that you create for them to enter their own amount. Have the conditional show up:

IF
Other "is" chosen on the radio button with the set amounts
AND
IF
10.00 "is not" chosen
AND
IF
20.00 "is not" chosen

And so on down the line for each of your set amounts. Doing each of the set amounts will make the input box not show up under any other circumstances than that they have chosen "Other".

It is that simple for most all conditionals, but I have not tried this with a payment form so test it well to be sure it works as intended.

If I am still misunderstanding your original post then ignore the above and I will stop watching this thread :P
