You can calculate it this way, in the controller




$model->total = $model->price * $model->qty;

Enable ajax=true in you form widget. However, your total cannot be a textField as user can override the calculation

2nd method, use jQuery to computer

In this way you have to have total field in your table in database.

You can calculate total price like:




$this->render('view',array('model'=>$model,'total' => $model->price * $model->qty));

In view you can use total like:




<?php echo $total; ?>

Second way directly in view




<?php echo $model->price * $model->qty; ?>

Thank qwerty for your reply but there is a problem, a user can change Quantity on Order_form view so by doing this I need to update the Total some how on Order_form view.

I look forward to get some solution here.

You can use ajax or javascript.

Please see this. Though it is not exactly what you are looking for, it may give you an idea how to implement "calculation ob fly". In this link, it is discussed, how to refresh the second dropdown list when a new option is selected in the first dropdown list.

Thanks tax14 for the desire link and I give try to implement that idea but can’t get the desire result please somebody have a look into this code and could guide me if there is something missing/need to update the code to get the result.

My code in NewOrder view is…





<div class="row">					

<?php

  echo $form->DropDownList($neworder,'quantity',

              array(1=>1,2=>2),

		    array(

		       'ajax' => array(

		       'type'=>'POST',

  		       'url'=>CController::createUrl('Cod_order/dynamicTotal'),

		       'update'=>'#' .CHtml::activeId($neworder,'total_amt')

                     )));								

?>			  

</div>


<div class="row">											

   <?php echo $form->textField($neworder,'total_amt'); ?>

</div>

My code in Controller is…




        public function actionDynamicTotal() {

            $user_qty = (int) $_POST['quantity'];

            $price=5;

            $result=$user_qty * $price;

                echo $result;


        }

Please somebody have a look and guide to get the Result back to Neworder view.

Thanks in advance.
