Order Delivery Date Support Thread

[jbpounders]

Right, I understand...what's the difference between having it be a ship date and a delivery date? We only ship on mondays so I set up the javascript to eliminate all the days except monday. Well if we could figure out how to insert the date into the notes section it should make it into shipworks fine..just need to know how to do that :)
Thanks,

That would take me a while to figure out how to do and i'm ridiculously busy right now, but i can point you in the direction that might lead you to an answer... which is to look over the CREATE function in includes/classes/functions/order.php. Or maybe it would be in the order.php file in the admin side?

Basically, i think you need to find the code that generates the comments when an order is submitted and put a line in there to suck the date from the order session and input it into the comments. Once you get that figured out, you will need to know exactly where and how shipworks is obtaining the comments information.

If you have a low enough order volume you can always open up each order and copy and paste the date into the comments field and make a new comment. But, that is clearly the ghetto and time consuming solution.

Honestly, it's slightly above my knowledge of the code that executes the order submission... maybe DrByte or Ajeh or one of the developers can guide you in a more refined direction?

Please let us know how you do with this and kindly post your solution on here for anyone else wishing to do the same thing down the line.

Hi,

I'm having problems unzipping the download - it gives me 2 blank files when it's unzipped. Could someone send me a copy please?

Would be eternally grateful.

Hey Claire,

Are you still having problems with this? Sorry for the delay in responding.

Is it possible to make the entry of the date mandatory, that is to say a required field?

Does anyone here know if a module is available that uses (adjustable) time slots instead of calendar days? (It doesn't have to be free, and it would sure remove a lot of headaches I currently have trying to cobble something together through the checkout).

What I need is a module that lets me assign "so many orders for this slot" (or "so many order-$$$ for this slot" or a combination of both), and that lets me variate the size of the slot (e.g. from 2 hours to 3 or 4 hours), and delivery slots auto-closing after a pre-determined cut-off (e.g. at 10 am the delivery slot for 2pm-4pm disappears or is disabled). Ideally there would be a selectable date, with the available slots appearing after the delivery date has been chosen.

Thanks in advance.

This site uses a custom delivery date, time, phone and message - http://uniquedesignsflorist.ca/ during the checkout process. It could be modified to use time slots if you would like. The newest version has been updated on the backend to deliver extra info directly to email so employees can pick orders straight from their phones :)

Would you by chance happen to have screenshots of the look and features? Out of respect, I'd hate to create a bum clutter account on the site just to look at it. :-) And what sort of $$ would I be looking at for the modification?
