Ship Complete vs Partial Ship option?

[micmed]

Anyone know how I could add an option on checkout to allow the customer to choose whether they want to "ship complete" or accept a partial shipment if some items are backordered?

Bump... Anyone?

Any ideas on this? Anyone? Hello?

You could use the comments for that or setup an additional comment/checkbox to be processed on the checkout ...

What method do you want to custom code for?

Ajeh, thanks for responding. I was hoping for a yes/no checkbox during checkout that would default to no.

I am kinda surprised that this has not been asked for by more ZC users.

Thanks

Well ... to customize this you can follow along with where the comment is managed and included in the order ...

You then want to add a checkbox vs the text area which is similar to the Confirmation for the checkout, which uses the constant:
DISPLAY_CONDITIONS_ON_CHECKOUT

But you want to store the results ... hence the tracing of the comment to get an idea of how to do that ...

I'm trying to do something exactly like this. Any idea where I might get started?

Go to the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ... and in the bottom input box enter:
comment

and search the Catalog to see how the comment is managed ...

Then, search the Admin to see how it is managed there ...

I gave it a whirl, and I'm just not a php programmer. After about the hundredth blank page, I decided to give up on trying to program it myself. Any other ideas?

You can always hire someone to code this for you ...
