Question on customizing admin

Hey, I have a question I am looking for an add on which I am not sure if it is developed for zen cart. I am looking for something similar to MaxDelivery.com shopping cart how they give the customer the option to select a shipping time. since it is a rush delivery service i would want to know if I can have a feature just like that where a customer can say they want a certain product click purchase and pick a time they want it delivered to there house. if anyone has an answer that can help me out. or if you do not get what I mean I will try and explain better.

Thanks, Mitch

Re: Question on customizing admin

I'm not sure if there is an add on or not.
I just think of a work around

step 1. add an option - text field called "when would you like to receive your product" and let the customer write in the date.

I'll look in to it more, if i find a better way i will be happy to help.

stuff I consider is a text field at the shipping page,
or a text field with a small js pop-up to select the date.
or a ready add on in some way or fashion

:)

Re: Question on customizing admin

The calendar is so small I can barely read it (actually, I can't read it, but I can tell what is supposed to be there). Otherwise, it works fine. With js off, you can enter any text in the field; you might want to have a note or tooltip giving a desired format or some other info.

Re: Question on customizing admin

Submit it to Free Addons as a contribution. If it is useful and works correctly, it belongs there anyway. Unfortunately, it can sometimes take weeks for submissions to be approved, depending on the devs' workload and schedules.

If you want to make it available right away, maybe you can split it into sections to post here?

Re: Question on customizing admin

OK
I upload it to the add-ons
hope it makes it

  • I tried to give detailed instructions
  • added the GPL
  • and cleaned up the css
  • added uninstall instructions
  • changed to a packed version of Jquery
  • and it's HTML valid markup

I'll clean up the JS once i have a chance (i did give some best practice advise for loading optimization)

let's see what happens...
