Hi I run a small forum that is technical in nature Its based on renewable energy fieldines.com
We have been looking to embed engineering calculators
We started with this with https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/tools
We were able to embed all the calculators. Unfortunately we had no permission to do that, and had to remove it.
Then we found another https://joshmadison.com/convert-for-windows
We have a coder working for us but the windows calculator wont work.
Is there any Mods that can do that or are we stuck.
You can't embed a Windows program into the forum, and I don't know any mods that would work for you either :(
Thanks for the reply I was told that, but wanted check with you guys thanks.
I would look at a freelancer/coder. Those seem like something that should easy to build out.
This might be a good question for Study Force...

I seem to recall a few threads here about display of mathematical formulas, such as:
https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=241631.msg1558348#msg1558348
Which will lead you here:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1111
http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.html
But even those mods are looking a little old...
EDIT: More display tools here:

My suggestion would be to write or find for free PHP scripts that'll do precisely that. There are plenty out there, do a search on github. Embedding a windows executable is possible, though in this particular case most conversions can be done via simple scripts. This was my idea years ago too.
On a side note, this forum would really benefit from a mentions mod, as I accidentally stumbled upon this thread

Please explain, how would you embed a Windows executable on a website short of building some mutant JS client that can speak RDP to a real Windows machine? Or, for that matter running the Win95 JSVM that struggles to emulate a 386 in terms of speed (Note, not the same as just offering a Windows download.)
Also, mentions is in 2.1.
I don't know, but I was referring to just that, I've seen emulators online that simulate roms and even windows 95, but that's a terrible approach to this user's problem
The OP seems to need just a simple convert tool (metric to imperial and vice versa), that's it (I think it's pretty obvious from the second link in the first post of the thread)... though I don't see that as a problem for running a forum and this can be done with Google (it's just a few clicks and a tab away)... my 2 cents.
