Order Delivery Date Support Thread

[SteveKim]

Works like a charm~

Just one error fix:

includes/languages/english/Your_Template/checkout_process.php

This files is missing '?' on line 64 (to close PHP correctly.).
Change '>' on line 64 to '?>'.

Otherwise under some PHP environments it would return a blank page just after Checkout Confirmation is clicked (orders will not be received).

In the future, notes about rewrites of Zen Cart core files and edit instruction about them could complete the work...

Great work!!

Great work!!

Thanks SteveKim! I updated the file so it will be fixed in the next release of the Delivery Date mod. (The new version will have a customizable javascript popup calendar on the checkout instead of a dropdown list..) Additionally, i will keep in mind your request to better notate the code alterations that were performed.

Hello Everyone!

Version 2 of Order Delivery Date is pending approval and should be posted to the downloads section very soon!

This version has a beautiful javascript popup calendar for the desired Delivery Date selection. I've attached a screenshot - take a look!

There is also a bugfix to close a PHP tag correctly.

Enjoy!

Hello All,

And thanks MrMeech for this excellent contribution!

I installed v2 tonight and the only issue I am facing is that the Calender button is appearing twice next to the Date field.

I also have Gift Wrapping mod installed - so had to make some manual edits. Not sure if I screwed up something while making those edits. Any advice?

Thanks in advance. Below is the screenshot.


The website is www.divani.cc if anyone wants to check.

Divani,

Glad to hear that you enjoy the contribution.

When you are viewing the page with the dropdown calendar, do you find that only one of the buttons works? Or do they both work?

Hi,

Thanks for this great contribution, much respect!

Is there some way of making certain dates in the future "unavailble"?

Would there be a way of doing this through the admin panel?

(apologies if this has already been discussed, I couldnt find it if it has!)

Thanks for replies in advance

To edit blackout dates:

1. Open: Includes/modules/pages/checkout_shipping/jscript_calendar_head.php
2. Find the few lines of javascript (you can't miss it), and look for this part:

   blocked: ['24-25,31 12 *', '0 * * 0']

3. There are instructions near the top on how to disable specific days.
4. By default, the 24th thru the 25th of december of each year is disabled (24-25,31 12 *) and every sunday (sunday is day zero of the week) of every week of every month of every year is disabled. You can add as many blackout parameters as you'd like by separating them with commas.

Unfortunately there is no way of doing this through the admin panel right now. I will put it onto the Features Wish List.

Let me know if you get it figured out. I will also add instructions to the readme file on how to block out dates (which i should have done in the first place)

Hello, I installed this addon 2 weeks ago on my zen cart and it worked perfectly, but days later my server got hacked and everything was erased. Now I'm reinstalling but it does not work, I can't see the calendar on the cart

I tried reinstalling on 138 and 138a, but I get the same, I'm pretty sure it's a detail missing from my part. The only doubt I have at the moment is

"Make sure to change any folders labeled YOUR_TEMPLATE to the template you are using."

I uploaded the YOUR_TEMPLATE files on all of the templates (classic, template default, your_template) just to make sure, but found another your_template file under languages.

Can anybody help? and another question what are the .DS_Store files?

1. The YOUR_TEMPLATE file is just that, it's whatever template (theme) you have selected (Admin -> Tools -> Template Selection). You SHOULD NOT have any folders on your server actually labeled as "YOUR_TEMPLATE" unless that is what you happened to name your template.
2. The .DS_Store files are hidden files created by the MAC Operating System whenever it accesses a folder or drive. It holds pretty useless mac-pertinent info, such as icon preferences, folder placements, etc...Just delete them.

If your store got hacked, you should really take a look at this to properly secure it this time around: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=73
