Re: [support] Contact Form

Thanks bill what I'm trying to do is build a small time tracking site. So users enter in their hours and then I want to build a view(report) that totals the time for each taxonomy item. So would that work for the views to use that module?

Hello, Chris,

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "sums up other fields" but you might want to look at the computed field module -- if you want to bring a few fields together into one field, you can write a snippet that will grab these values into the computed field.

Cheers,

Bill

On another note you wouldn't know how to create a field that sums up other fields?

Thanks again.
