Adding A Delivery Date
Buy Gary A Beer?
Buying me a "beer" helps me to keep my contributions updated and keep this blog alive - and you get a link from my homepage to your site. Cheers!
Over in the official osCommerce Forum, someone wanted the ability to add a "delivery date" that the customer can choose to select.
I have no doubt that there is a pre-existing contribution that can handle this, bt I thought it would make an interesting exercise, to see if I could come up with something that is coded cleanly and, most importantly, works easily…
Introducing the Club osCommerce Date Picker!
This little mod took me about 15 minutes work. I added a text input using javascript on the checkout_shipping page, and created the value as a session. I input the session value into the database. Then pull the value from the database to display the customer preferred delivery date in the Admin area.
Here's a short video showing this;
If anyone wants the code, please let me know – it does involve some changes to core osCommerce files (though the changes are very minimal. If anyone wants it, I'll package it up ready for download.
Hello, I need the code. I appreciate if you could help me
Best

Hello
I could really use that script if you would be so generous as to share it. My shopping cart is very modified, but that feature is very needed. Thank you so much for the help.

Gary,
Thanks for pointing me to the download. I have your Delivery Date picker installed at my site. It works well!
Just a couple of more questions.
1. How do I change the resulting field date format from 2009-01-20 to 20-01-2009?
2. How do I change the date picker so that Saturdays are selectable for delivery?
3. Is there any way I can exclude specific delivery dates such as public holidays?
Regards,
Rob

Hi,
I have installed your Delivery date to my site but currently the calender is not appearing upon mouse-over or even which I clicked on the input box.
Do you have any idea what I can do to solve that?
With Regards,
Ruth

Hi Ruth
Incorrectly installed, or you have javascript turned off in your browser.
Cheers, Gary

I'd GREATLY appreciate the source code for this. I need something that is compatible with my current OS Commerce site, V2.2 RC2 and I think this is it.
Thanks!
