Using this field type you can calculate value by formula.

There are several ways how it can be used:

1. Simple use values from other fields
2. Use PHP math function in formula
3. Use PHP code to calculate value

1. Simple use values from other fields
Just for example for Projects you  have to have field Profit where Income-Expenses = Profit
Filed Income have ID 99
Field Expenses  have ID 100
Then formula for field Profit will be: [99]-[100]
Numbers in []  are fields ID and they will be replaced by field values.

Value of formula field will be calculated automatically in projects listing and project info page

2. Use PHP math function in formula
Also in formula you can use any PHP math functions.
For example formula string can be: max([99],[100])
So field will display highest value from fields 99 and 100
See all math functions here http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.math.php

3. Use PHP code to calculate value
For example formula can be:
([100]>1100 ? [100]/2 : [99])

By default qdPM have simple html editor with all common function.

But if you want to have extended html editor you can use CKEditor

Integration is really simple, just a few steps:

1. create ‘js/texteditor’ folder
2. download CKEditor (Standard package)
3. unpack files from ‘archive/ckeditor’ to ‘js/texteditor’
   note: you don’t have to create any subfolders in ‘texteditor’ folder, just copry core files from  ’archive/ckeditor’ to ‘js/texteditor’

It’s done. Now default html editor will be replaced by CKEditor.

Note: this integration works for version qdPM Extended 3.0 upgraded with all patches. You can go to My Account page to check if you have to upgrade 3.0 version.

If you try install qdPM on GoDaddy hosting you will get white page with message “No Input File”

To fix this issue you have to do some configuration changes:

1. Log into you Godaddy hosting account, and from the menu select Settings -> File Extensions Management. Change .php extension from PHP 5.x FastCGI to PHP 5.x.
2. In you web folder add a file php.ini with cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1 in it.
3. open
   core\apps\qdPMExtended\config\settings.yml
   and add
   path_info_key: REDIRECT_URL

   so it will look:
   prod:
     .settings:
       path_info_key: REDIRECT_URL
       no_script_name: false

4. open
   core\apps\qdPMExtended\config\qdPMExtendedConfiguration.class.php
   and add:
   $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] = str_replace($_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"], “”, $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
   after <?php
5. open .htaccess in qdPM folder and uncomment line
   RewriteBase /
   (remove # before)
6. at the end clear core/cache folder
