Order Delivery Date Support Thread

[pewan]

hi i have read the readme file and i dont know how to: Run the sql statement (shipdate.sql) in your database - If you do not have the "zen" prefix in your database tables, remove it from the SQL statement before executing it.

can anyone tell me step by step on how to do this?

Thanks

MrMeech-
Thanks for your contribution is it awesome! One quick question and hopefully I didn't miss the answer in the midst of all the pages of this thread. How difficult is it for a customer to be able to select a delivery time as well as date? I have tried to figure this one out on my own with no luck.

Thanks again!

MrMeech-

I would also like to thank you for this contribution. I too am having problems with allowing customers to select delivery times. What I am looking for is something as simple as a text box or drop down list along side or below the date. Also, if possible could the calender be included under a specific type of shipping module. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Hey,

I'm totally new to Zen-Cart. And I love your Order Delivery Date addon! It's God sent!

I've tried searching in the forum for a question I have in mind and most probably there's an answer somewhere in this forum. But I can't seem to find it.

Can someone please help?

Here's my question: When someone picks a date from the calendar, the default date setting is YYYY-MM-DD both in both the website and the emails sent. How can I change it to DD-MM-YYYY for both the website and email sent?

Thanks a million!

I THINK this may help: (Make a backup first!)

In:-

includes/modules/pages/checkout_shipping

Open (in a suitable text/php editor)

jscript_calendar_head.php

Modify:

{ date: 'Y-m-d' } to { date: 'd-m-Y' }

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

To get D-M-Y in your store, you need to modify the following sections in the english.php files in both your CATALOG and your ADMIN sections:

(This is the DEFAULT in a standard install of ZC and renders the date as M-D-Y)

  @setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.ISO_8859-1');
  define('DATE_FORMAT_SHORT', '%m/%d/%Y');  // this is used for strftime()
  define('DATE_FORMAT_LONG', '%A %d %B, %Y'); // this is used for strftime()
  define('DATE_FORMAT', 'm/d/Y'); // this is used for date()
  define('DATE_TIME_FORMAT', DATE_FORMAT_SHORT . ' %H:%M:%S');

////
// Return date in raw format
// $date should be in format mm/dd/yyyy
// raw date is in format YYYYMMDD, or DDMMYYYY
  if (!function_exists('zen_date_raw')) {
    function zen_date_raw($date, $reverse = false) {
      if ($reverse) {
        return substr($date, 3, 2) . substr($date, 0, 2) . substr($date, 6, 4);
      } else {
        return substr($date, 6, 4) . substr($date, 0, 2) . substr($date, 3, 2);
      }
    }
  } 

Look CAREFULLY at the above and apply the shown changes BELOW for UK-Styled D-M-Y format).

@setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_UK.ISO_8859-1');
define('DATE_FORMAT_SHORT', '%d/%m/%Y');  // this is used for strftime()
define('DATE_FORMAT_LONG', '%A %d %B, %Y'); // this is used for strftime()
define('DATE_FORMAT', 'd/m/Y'); // this is used for date()
define('DATE_TIME_FORMAT', DATE_FORMAT_SHORT . ' %H:%M:%S');

////
// Return date in raw format
// $date should be in format dd/mm/yyyy
// raw date is in format YYYYMMDD, or DDMMYYYY
  if (!function_exists('zen_date_raw')) {
function zen_date_raw($date, $reverse = false) {
if ($reverse) {
          return substr($date, 0, 2) . substr($date, 3, 2) . substr($date, 6, 4);
} else {
  return substr($date, 6, 4) . substr($date, 3, 2) . substr($date, 0, 2);
      }
    }
  } 

As there is no over-ride system in ADMIN, just edit/over-write the original english.php file.

For /includes/languages/english.php , you should save the edited copy to your custom folder.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Lower down in english.php, there are additional date defines (such as date of birth define text) that indicate to the shopper, that the format is MDY. Find these and alter them so they indicate the date format to now be DMY
