add a shipping date field

I am trying to add a date field on page ?main_page=checkout_confirmation. I want to know where the processing takes place for this page. I have the field in place, but cannot find the processing side to add the code there. I want this date appended to the comments and also added to the database as a separate field.

Where is the processing for this form? The variable receiving part and the query part?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I am not sure if you are trying to accomplish something similar as I did for some client who needed their clients to select a delivery date.

In the table "orders" I added a field called "order_delivery_date".
And made some modifications in:
\includes\templates\classic\templates\tpl_checkout_shipping_default.php
\includes\classes\order.php
**\includes\modules\pages\checkout_shipping\header_php.php
\admin\includes\classes\order.php
\admin\orders.php
\admin\invoice.php
\admin\packingslip.php
**and the accompanying language files.

pe7er,

There seems to be a good number of people looking for a contribution like this. Have you considered putting one together? I think it would a great addition to zen-cart. :smile:

I'm also really hoping you do post this as a mod or a text file outlining the process.

I posted a detailed explanation of my modification to get a drop down list with desired delivery date to the order form [for Zen Cart 1.3.7] in another thread.

BRILLIANT!! :D

Quite a bit of code, however. Have you put any thought into making a contribution for this? I mean, you have all the hard part finished! Perhaps doing so would help you keep track of the revisions and changes as zen cart continues in its development..

Thanks again! This is so excellent!
