Advice Needed: Implementing a Calculation Form with Bricks and ACF

How To
1

Hello,

I would like to create a form using Bricks, with pre-set parameters in the backend using ACF (Advanced Custom Fields). The form’s purpose is to allow customers to input numbers, which would then be calculated against the parameters set in ACF. After the customer completes the input, the form would redirect to another page displaying the calculated result.

Could you please advise whether it would be more appropriate to use an external plugin, such as Gravity Forms or Fluent Forms, to achieve this functionality? Or is it possible to accomplish this directly using Bricks?

I would greatly appreciate your guidance. Thank you.

You should be able to do this is two ways, either using the custom action bricks/form/custom_action and save the data and read it back in the page you redirect too

OR

Using the redirect option, include the form values in the URL as GET fields (Not sure if the form support POST?) and then process the result on the page where you redirect.
