Delivery Date Picker Mod

I have just developed a 'Delivery Date Picker' mod that allows the customer to choose a delivery date on Step 1 of the checkout process using a popup calendar by Calendarxp.net

The mod is totally customizable with the following features....- Calendar colors can be changed to match site colors

• All past dates are automatically disabled from being chosen
• Any single or recurring date can be automatically disabled from being chosen
• Conditional rules can be used to disable dates from being chosen. Such as, date or time that the date was chosen. This can be useful if you had a cutoff time for next day delivery.
• The date field is not writtable directly. This prevents the customer from entering in a date that is not acceptable for delivery.
• Validation is used so that the customer cannot continue with the order unless they have chosen an availale date from the popup calendar.
• The chosen delivery date is incorporated into the order emails for both customer and admin
• The chosen delivery date is displayed with the rest of the order information in the admin backend.We are currently working on a release package and demo site.
  For configuration demo purposes the release package will automatically disable all past days, Sundays and Mondays, the day after some holidays (eg, Thanks Giving, Christmas Day, July 4th) and the following day if after 11am PST.

Once the demo site is up and running we will make the link available for anyone interested to take a look.

We also have integrated the DOTS address validation services into ZenCart to verify customers postal addresses. This too will be on the demo site.

Do you have an expected release date?

Any ETA on this?

A demo can be seen on our test server at http://zencart.hexwebservices.com

No products are available for purchase on this site and no charges will be made so please feel free to demo the Delivery Date Picker.

It seems the link for trying it out is broken...

Do you know how easily this mod would integrate with UPS OnLine Tools? I'm guessing this would be a lot of custom coding, correct?

Hello you have a time when you can post the module?

Thx Christian

Great mod, is it available yet? Just what we need to deliver fish:D

Any news on this mod?

I would really like to see something like this done. Specifically, I am looking to do something like the following: I want to do bulk delivery of items to people in the same geographic area and I would like customers to select which day and timeframe they would like their product delivered (through something as simple as a 'select' menu).

Even if there are no more plans for the mod mentioned in this thread, would anybody have suggestions as to how to go about implementing such a mod as I have described?

Thanks for your help.

Hello,
Any updates on this MOD.

It looks like there's several people that need this!

Keep up the good work.

Thanks

I have modified my cart to work with a free calendar (date picker and time).
It took me about 4 hours.

If any one is interested PM and I'll try to help.
There some modifications to the classes files, modules pages and template files.

Is there an overwrite for the classes?

Thank you

Issy,

This is EXACTLY what i've been hunting for!!! Have you put any thought into putting together a contribution for the community? As much as i want to PM you and have one-on-one support, i've also seen a great need for this feature in looking for solutions.

Any thoughts? :smile:

Hi Issy,

I am interested in your mod, have you packaged up a contrib for this or can you explain how you have done this please?

Where is this mod? Where is the demo?

Hi HWS,

Please let me know how to validate the data of delivery field on checkout shipping information page.
So that the customer cannot continue with the order unless they have chosen an availale date from the popup calendar.

Thanks in advance

Been using this excellent modification for a few of my clients, however I'm having trouble with one where the delivery date picker button isn't showing (just the field is).

It's weird as this has worked immaculately for everyone I applied this to, it's just this one where this problem has occured.

Anyone help me?

Ta, :D

Never mind, it was because the site was loading the mootools library, thus conflicting the calendar.

Thanks for a cool mod, I've been using it for a while.

Though I see the instructions in the jscript_scw.js file as to how to disable specific dates, I still don't understand how to do it. Would anyone be so kind as to write the code here to disable December 24 and say where in the file it goes?

Cheers,

Robbie

I'm experiencing an issue where the "date-picker" field isn't displaying the calendar, but the "repeated date field" (described in step 5 of the installation instructions) is showing the calendar.

To see an example of what I mean, you can go here to see my shopping cart:

The field (attribute 56) which should have the date picker is labeled, "Expected date of completion 2". The field where the date picker appears is all the way at the bottom.

Also, in the installation instructions it says,

5. To hide repeated (but necessary) date field add in your template stylesheet (located in includes/templates/your_template_name/css/stylesheet.css) following line of the code:

---

.wrapperAttribsOptions input {
display:none
}However, I already have a line in my stylesheet.css that references .wrapperAttribsOptions that says:

.wrapperAttribsOptions {
margin: 0.3em 0em;
}

If I replace that with the reference in step 5, my attribute fields disappear.

I'd love to have this mod work. Any ideas out there? Thanks in advance!!
