Assign values to radio button fields and add them up (when turned on).

Edit the radio field within CB > Field Management. Under the global tab is where you specify the values for a radio field. The Value and Label are separate parameters. Value is stored in the database while Label is displayed to the user. Value is where you'd put the numerical value. The alternative is to use whatever values you want then in your PHP translate those values to points and add them all up.

Go it. Let me try

I don't see my code field on user profile page. I see field1, field2, field3 radio buttons.

Notice Code under Type column is red. This means CB Code Field plugin within CB > Plugin Management is not published.

Can I use the same formula/approach for check boxes?

In the formula how do I multiply a field value by a number (2 x cb_field1)

Can I store the number (2 in this case) in a variable and how?

A single checkbox field stores in the database as 1 (checked) or 0 (unchecked). Multicheckbox will store whatever the option Value is set to. All substitutions must be treated as strings so surround them with single or double quotes as needed. If you expect them to be an integer you can typecast them to (int) as done in the example code I've already provided. So for example to multiply a field value you'd use the below.


See the below for further operator usage information.

Why do you need to store the results of your math? If it's only for display purposes simply use a Code field. If you need it stored then use CB Auto Actions acting on the after profile update trigger with a Field action then enable format functions and use the math format function.
