Customizing the check out page by adding a dropdown menu of delivery times

hello,

I'm creating a fast food website where people can order online . I need to customize the checkout page so that a customer can choose a time for their food to be delivered.

So what i am trying to do is add dropdown menu on the checkout page of all the times that their food can be delivered.

Is there an addon that i can download??
Or do i have to create a drop down menu my self?

Thank You!:smile:

Not sure if there is an addon. But the checkout page does include a section for Special Instructions- you could change this Textarea to a drop down box....

thanks.... i checked around on the add ons couldn't find a dropdown menu for time picker ... the only drop down menu i found was to to select your DOB .

I will Also be needing the Special Instruction Box During Check Out... Should i just copy that code and paste it right below the special instruction text area?

Thank you very much!

copy the following template file to your own custom template folder...

tpl_checkout_shipping_default.php

Look for the following:

**** <legend><?php echo TABLE_HEADING_COMMENTS; ?></legend> ****
**** <?php echo zen_draw_textarea_field('comments', '45', '3'); ?> ****

and change the highlighted line for the following;

Add to the options.....

Test it thoroughly.

Hope this helps...

Could you attach the file you referred to: tpl_checkout_shipping_default.php

This sounds like exactly what I need!

I found the referenced file: tpl_checkout_shipping_default.php

in includes/templates/tempate_default

I assume that is the correct file?

I assume the example text would be substituted for both the lines identified in the post?

Thanks!!

This worked excellantly!

Hey Steve, I also needed this for a site, and I was able to get the drop-down to show up fine, but it won't store it in the admin section after the order is placed (which defeats the purpose since we don't know when they want it delivered). Am I doing something wrong here?

Thank you, Steve!:smile:

This works well for me. It shows well in Order Confirmation right above the Address Information.
See it clear in Admin in the Comments field.

Hi Steve pardon my ignorance, I am new to zencart. I want to apply you solution however i could not figure out the "acivate option" after adding to the said file. You help will be much appreciated

Look for the following:

<fieldset class="shipping" id="comments">

**** <legend><?php echo TABLE_HEADING_COMMENTS; ?></legend> ****
**** <?php echo zen_draw_textarea_field('comments', '45', '3'); ?> ****

</fieldset>

and change the highlighted line for the following;

<legend>Choose Your Time For Delivery</legend> <select name="comments"> <option>?? Delivery Time ??</option> <option>Delivery Time 17:00</option> <option>Delivery Time 18:00</option> <option>Delivery Time 19:00</option> <option>Delivery Time 20:00</option> </select>

Add to the options.....

Test it thoroughly.

Hope this helps...

I also want to drop down menu for delivery time, but I dont want to sacrifice comment field. Please suggest if you are aware of a solution.

Thanks,
Raj.

Does anyone know of a way to make this dropdown validate?
