Order Delivery Date Support Thread

[FuzzyBunny]

Hey there mrmeech.

Still not really doing it for me - - unfortunately most of my osmosis on this matter seems to be in the reverse, so no matter how much I put into the code it seems to be getting less and less likely I can get it to work suitably in the admin side as a pull down list.

So . . how are you going with the java calander to add into the module? I like the pull down on the front end though! ;-)

Do you have something that seems OK and can be stuck into my pages to see how it goes? Better to work on the same thing then head off in different directions - if I get it OK on the backend may be able to add it to the package?

Sorry FuzzyBunny - I got off track this past week with work. (I am a freelance production guy in new york city and last week was insane. It's how i pay rent and eat!! And eating is certainly a priority.)

Where are you with everything? Did you work out any of your own code?

I installed this mod then had to uninstall it when I found out that no one could get to order step 3 (in v1.37).

I think part of the problem was an install of the gift wrapping mod which this client didn't need but that came as part of another mod which I did need for this client (if my memory is right..which it may not be!).

Both the gift wrapping mod and the date mod use the same areas of code in some of the same files and I could not figure out completely how to make the two live happily together.

So I uninstalled the date mod and resumed with our former method of customer date specification for this client. Client is a florist and while the method is not fancy, so far it works until I can get yours to reside happily on her site.

We have it set up as an attribute in each product and it carries through very nicely into admin and into the email with the customers order so the florist knows the delivery date with no problem. We also have a second attribute set up for the greeting card.

I know our simple system won't help any of you coders, but thought I would mention it as one never knows what may spark a thought. Sometimes bigger and better ideas came come from the thoughts of simple minds!!

Here is an example of what this looks like in her store (and *I* didn't pick the colors in the store...the client did! lol):

Hi MrMeech,

On the admin side I tried two java apps - including the one that is used elsewhere in the admin - and could get niether of them to work.

I tried using:

- Bazillyo's Spiffy DHTML Popup Calendar (the one used elsewhere in admin and couldn't get a result at all ??? Couldn't figure this one out, so re-visiting on the weekend after they (hopefully) grant me permission to go into their yahoo group to get more info. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/spiffyDHTML/ The court is out for me on this one.

- http://www.mattkruse.com/javascript/calendarpopup/ - very similar app but a different function to get it to work - however the A HREF="#" function does not work with the forms on the admin side - resets/processes the whole page instead of calling the calendar - so no good here either.

The best way I see this functioning at this point is having the delivery date update work as a java pop-up itself (like some of the other admin contributions use to control 'elements' of the information. This way the list and the java apps may work and neither will have to default to the current delivery date when displayed so admin users won't 'accidentally' update the delivery date to the wrong one.


This is the updated list code, which has some updates to allow our shipping staff to update the delivery date historically, on weekends, etc as they need to do:

<!-- Begin Delivery Date Block -->
<hr>
<strong>Current Delivery Date: </strong><?php echo zen_date_long($order->info['order_delivery_date']); ?><br>
<strong>Reset Delivery Date to: </strong>
<select name="update_order_delivery_date">
<?php
$deliv_date = ($order->info['order_delivery_date']);

for ($i=-30, $n=365; $i < $n; $i++) {
$now[$i] = strtotime ("+$i day", time());
if ( strftime ("%w",$now[$i])<>"12-25"
AND strftime ("%m-%d",$now[$i])<>"12-26"
AND strftime ("%m-%d",$now[$i])<>"01-01"
){
echo '<option value="'.strftime ("%Y-%m-%d",$now[$i]).'">'.strftime ("%d %B %Y (%A)",$now[$i]).'</option>';
}
}
?>
</select>
<?php echo zen_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '50', '1'); ?>
<?php echo zen_image_submit('button_update.gif', IMAGE_UPDATE); ?>
<hr>
<!-- End Delivery Date Block -->

** I have been looking at the php manual and tutorials online and trying to work out how to define the current delivery date and make that the default or selected day on the pull down list - so if the rest of the order is updated on a screen in 'editorders', 'superorder' or another admin contribution then the person updating the rest of the information own't change the delivery date UNLESS they actually change the delivery date pull down list.

** Pulling out my hair trying to get the current delivery date to default on the list, but I am learning quite a bit about php coding in the mean time (I used to run a html web site management company about 10 years ago and have been away from it for years, so have to work out what to do again!!)

So either we can work out how to get the current delivery date to be the default date displayed on the list . . . or . . . we put the list code above in a java popup and see how that goes . . that's my current line of thought at the moment.

Any suggestions or comments??

Thanks, Max

Max!

Looks like you've been hard at work!

Is that code you've got written out above for the orders.php file on the admin side for when you are looking at the orders in the spreadsheet-like view? Or is that for when you are actually editing orders?

Also, i have to say, sorry for no response here this week - for all i knew, it was quiet on the support thread... but what really happened was zen cart stopped emailing the updates to the thread! Got it all fixed now, so that's good. I found a small issue with the mod when a paypal checkout is used but i can't figure out what exactly is causing it - i'm going to outline this in a post immediately following this one.

[mrmeech]

Alright!! So, i've found a bug with Order Delivery Date that happens when a customer checks out with the Paypal Integrated Checkout method.

Basically, when the order email is generated upon successfully completing the paypal payment, the email define "EMAIL_TEXT_DELIVERY_DATE" is not translating to the value set in the language file. The delivery date still makes it to the email OK, but the email prints out as above: EMAIL_TEXT_DELIVERY_DATE

I just started looking into the issue, but if anyone has any idea what could be causing this, please let me know. I would venture to bet that this has to do with a paypal data array somewhere. As I don't have a comprehensive understanding of the data flow with PayPal, i might need someone else to point me in the right direction with this one...

It's gotta be something simple - 9 out of 10 times it is.

Great mod, was wondering if this issue was ever sorted????

Many thanks

FuzzyBunny,

You should take a look at this: http://www.garrett.nildram.co.uk/calendar/scw.htm

If you look at the demo you will see that one of your formatting options is to click on text to update the date and the javascript calendar will appear, which could possibly circumvent the problem you're having?

I have this calendar working

Very easy to adjust to what you need it for.

Does anyone have this working with Super Orders? I got the customer end working, and I tried to edit admin/super_orders.php but it is totally different then orders.php and obviously I did something wrong. In the admin, when I go to Customers-Super Orders, it gives this error:


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/***/super_orders.php on line 1190

I tried playing around with that file more, but no luck, I just get errors. I know I must be missing something in the super_orders.php file, but I just don't know what. This is on a 1.3.9d store with the latest version of Super Orders.

If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it!

Thanks!
