AC Mortgage Calculator Plus plugin

Optional Array Parameterforac_mortloanplus_show_gui()

The available options are the same as for the shortcodes, except that you must replace sc_ with op_, for example:

<?php ac_mortloanplus_show_gui(array(
'op_size' => "medium",
'op_custom_style' => "No",
'op_add_link' => "Yes",
'op_brand_name' => "",
'op_hide_resize' => "No",
'op_price' => "350000.0",
'op_pct_dwn' => "20.0",
'op_loan_amt' => "0.0",
'op_n_months' => "48",
'op_rate' => "5.5",
'op_points' => "0",
'op_taxes' => "0",
'op_insurance' => "0",
'op_pmi' => "0",
'op_currency' => "999",
'op_date_mask' => "999")); ?>

Notes:

• To add your brand to the calculator, set the _add_link option to "Yes" (including quotation marks). This will add a subtle follow link to AccurateCalculators.com.
• When branding is enabled, the brand name will appear before "Mortgage Loan Calculator."
• If custom_style is set to "Yes", the plugin loads the file css/accurate-calculators-custom.css located in the plugin's DIST/CSS folder. Modify only the CSS selectors that you need to change.
• The plugin is built and tested on HTML5/CSS3 pages.
• Sizes:
  - Minimum width: tiny: 150px, small: 200px, medium: 200px, large: 200px
  - Maximum width: tiny: 250px, small: 300px, medium: 400px, large: 440px
• The modals used for displaying the schedule, currency selection, and help are Bootstrap 5 modals. If your site uses an earlier version of Bootstrap, you may encounter issues. Please contact support if needed.
• Website developers can set a default currency sign and preferred date format by setting the <op/sc>_currency and <op/sc>_date_mask options to an integer value. For a list of supported integers (covering over 90 currency symbols and six date formats), refer to the file currency_and_date_conventions.txt in the plugin's root folder (example: India, Indian Rupee: ₹1,23,45,678.99 = 83).

The plugin supports over 90 currency signs with appropriate number formatting and six date formats (e.g., mm/dd/yyyy, dd/mm/yyyy, yyyy.mm.dd). If neither the website developer nor the user makes a selection, the calculator will detect the browser's default currency and date options. For example, a website visitor from Japan accessing a site hosted in France may initially see a floating yen sign. The website developer can override this default behavior using shortcode or function options. If all else fails, the plugin defaults to using the $ symbol.

How the plugin determines the currency symbol and date format:

1. If user selection is allowed and made, the plugin applies the user's choice.
2. Otherwise, if the website developer has set a default currency (≠ 999), that selection is used.
3. Otherwise, the plugin reads the browser's default currency and applies it.
4. If none of the above apply, the plugin defaults to '$'.

Language Translations

The plugin supports 14 languages in addition to English. A translation template file (.POT) is included in the languages folder. Using a POT/PO file editor, website owners can translate this plugin into any language supported by WordPress.

Notes:

• (1) The plugin uses the site's "Site Language" setting to display the correct language. The language files in the languages folder can be renamed if necessary. For example, if you want the plugin to display in Portuguese for Brazil, rename the language files from pt_PT to pt_BR.

Support is available for all plugins. If you have a question or encounter an issue, please visit the plugin's support forum and indicate whether you are using the original plugin or the Plus version. Please also provide a link to the page where the issue occurs to help resolve the problem more quickly.

Can the Mortgage Loan Calculator Plus plugin be used on a commercial website?
Yes. Your use is appreciated.

Does your plugin include any embed advertising?
Absolutely not.

Is the plugin self-contained?
Yes. The entire plugin is installed on your server with no external dependencies.

Does the plugin include any backlinks?
No, not by default. However, if you brand the calculator with your brand or set the add_link option to "Yes," a discreet link to my site is added around the copyright in the lower left (this link only appears on mouseover).

Is the calculator plugin responsive?
Yes. It is designed for responsive use. I use it on a Bootstrap v5.x responsive site, and responsiveness has been greatly improved in version 2.

Does the calculator support touch devices?
Yes. The calculator is compatible with all device types. A previous issue with some Android devices has been resolved.

1. The Plus versions allow the schedule to be printed.
2. The Plus versions allow for an optional title page for the printed schedule. The title page gives the website the ability to include their brand and marketing information.
3. The Plus version has improved numeric editing. Thousand separators are inserted as your user types which makes it easier to enter large numbers.
4. The Plus version includes all PHP and CSS source code, but not the JavaScript source code.
5. The Plus version sends to my site the domain name you install it on. I may link to your site to provide an example of the plugin's use. (The plugin collects no other information.)
6. And, for now, the Plus version includes many more configuration and styling options.

If you install any "Plus" plugin on a public facing website, you are required to provide a public citation. A citation does not need to be a link to this site (though it may be). It could be a published review on WordPress.org or other site, or a social media mention with link. If you are not sure, ask. An annual subscription could be introduced with a future update. It is expected to be $499. Whether a subscription fee is introduced depends largely on the compliance with the request for a citation.
