Looks like a helpful plug in, but Im not sure how to use it?

I have tried a few examples. the thing I am trying to do is add ALL custom field values together.

So, I have a custom field labled ‘Area’ and in this box the user enters the area of land that has been covered. (eg 1 = 1 acre)
What I want to do is add all the ‘Area’ custom fields together so as you image it outputs the total area!?

I’m not sure how to do this – I assume that is what this plug in can do?

Thanks
Oli

1. Create new form t1:

<txp:if_custom_field name="field1">
<txp:aks_var name="total" calc="+<txp:aks_evar customfield='field1' />" />
</txp:if_custom_field>

2. Place this code to article:

<txp:aks_var name="total" value="0" /> - init total value
<txp:article_custom form="t1" section="area" />
<txp:aks_evar name="total" /> - display value

Do you have a lot of custom fields in a single article, and you want to display in total?
e.g. field1+field2+field3+…

Calculate field1+field2 in one article:

==<txp:aks_evar calc="+0"><txp:aks_evar customfield="field1" />+<txp:aks_evar customfield="field2" /></txp:aks_evar>==
