I will have a look and update. Thanks again.

Hi

Hope someone else is still using this.

I've noted in the past that the mootools library required for this plugin can cause some issues.

Namely if you're using the responsive classic template it would break the mobile menu when you were on the checkout_shipping page.

I have recently started making use of bootstrap template and mootools has reared its head again - basically sometimes when leaving the checkout_shipping page you are directed back to the home page instead of checkout_payment. I have no idea why - but removing the mootools file solved this problem.

One Page Checkout might be a workaround but I haven't tested this yet.

Anyway, I have replaced the mootools calendar with the jquery datepicker and got this working fine. However datepicker lacks the flexibility the mootools one had.

In particular I liked the wildcard and range date blocking, eg [* 1 2024] - block all january, or [1-10 1 2024] - block 1-10 january.

So asking if anyone has a solution to get mootools to play nice, or if you are aware of another datepicker with flexibility akin to the mootools one.

I stopped using this plugin for the same reason you mentioned. I was never able to get Mootools to play nice with my site ( ZC 1.5.7 with one page checkout and bootstrap template).

I am using an updated version of JS date picker which use product attribute to display the calendar. The downside is the delivery date is on the product page as opposed to the checkout page.

I like that you can have several calendar with different setting based on which attribute is added to the product. Blocking date, cut off time... is fairly easy once you get the hang of it.

I haven't figured the time zone cut off time yet for it. The calendar uses UTC time and can be an issue if you cut off time or such.

Mootools was great when worked but i like my alternative so far. I have seen some nice React datepicker like Ant Design....but no clue how to make it work with ZC.

For one final time I reinvestigated the mootools calendar and I can see that the particular calendar tool chosen for this plugin was last updated in 2009 and won't work with a mootools younger than v1.2.6.

As I mentioned previously I've been unable to find a datepicker with the same flexibility for blocking dates.

I'm rubbish at js, and completely ignorant to mootools so I won't be spending any more time on this pathway.

This plugin will work with pretty much any datepicker, and as mentioned previously I have got it working with a stock standard js date picker.

I could submit my changes to this plugin but I am sensitive that replacing the previous (mootools) datepicker might seem as a downgrade for some - but I will comment that removal of the mootools library prevents issues with both responsive classic template (on a mobile), and bootstrap overall.

And finally, and it is probably the wrong forum for this, but it is a shame that the author of the calendar tool used in the delivery date plugin did not carry on with it - not just for zen cart, but it could be useful in any number of applications.

How are your changes to the plugin working for you?

I am looking for another options for my "delivery date" options on my site. As mentioned in my earlier post, I am using a jquery datepicker that displays on the product page ( via attribute text option). However, the whole cut-off time is driving me nuts. I can t figure out how to have it works on my time zone as opposed to local time. I am PST time and my cut off is 1 PM but if someone try to order from Europe or else, the date options changes based on their local time.

Back to this plugin, can it be displayed on product page instead of checkout? Can a cut-off time be specified that would work on my local time as opposed to user?

Hope this makes sense.

Thank you

After re-reading this thread, part of my answer was on post #7 regarding the cut-off time.

So it comes to know if anyone as an updated version that would work with ZC 2.0 , bootstrap template and One page checkout??

I am open to suggestions ( actually i would love a working solutions if anyone as it)

It would be great if the callendar could be displayed on product info page instead of checkout.

Anyone please?

thank you in advance.

My changes are working great for me, but I don't take time into account. Yes, thanks to the international date line I've had people in the US order things for "yesterday", but I take no shame in being unable to provide the impossible. People need to use common sense.

That said, I do believe it is possible to pass the timezone to the datepicker

Thanks for sharing the link. I did came across it while looking. I don t know anything about code so it got even more confused.

I did look at an option of using moment to specify a time zone based on the following post:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...er-cutoff-time

I tried with a sample product but it is hard to tell if it works while trying to spoof my IP to a different location.

My issue is the opposite of yours. :-(

For example:

I am on PST time (California) and my cut-off is 1 PM for same day delivery.

Someone in New York ( EST time) want to place an order for delivery. However, they can t pick today because it is 2 PM for them but it is only 11 AM my time ( store location). It getsmore problematic for Canada, Europe....

I understand potential customer could still call to place their order but in today's world, it is all online.

To my other question,

Is there away to have the calendar display on product_info page? instead of the checkout page.

Thank you
