    hi all

    I need to create a "radiation calculator" in a joomla site.
    the form should ask the user
    a fe questions about his apartment and its whereabouts (near a cell antenna or not for example)
    and present a result after user clicks "calculate".
    i wasn't able to find a module\component that can show these options AND make a calculation based on that.

    Any recommendations ?

    if you are a developer and u think u can develop something like this in a fair price - pls pm me.

    thanks !

    This isn't even a proper calculator - as I understand it, it's a BS "calculator" which is gonna tell a user what kind of "radiation-levels" (sic!) for a given location. That means, based on the answers given, you have some set values that are either added or subtracted to form an answer. This is a very basic form, with a few lines of either javascript or php doing the "calculation"

    (that is compatible to a joomla RTL site).

    People are idiots, especially clients - however, I would be intrigued to know how this is supposed to work - is the user meant to select given answers from a list of possible ones? Or is there any free-text input? If it's the latter, tell the customer "this isn't happening", since there is NO WAY to interprete what is written coherently without human involvement. If it's only select-boxes with different answers and values, this is a fairly simple thing to build, just build the HTML-form first, and then do the calculating bit afterwards.
