Order Delivery Date Support Thread

bettysue:

Where can I find version 2.2? I've looked through the files in the thread and the download section. Am I just missing it along the way?

thank you,

betty

If you go to the downloads section and use the search function on the main page and look for "Order Delivery Date" you will find it.

BUT!!! To save you 15 seconds of time, here's a link :smile::

Hi,

Thanks for this great contribution, much respect!

Is there some way of making certain dates in the future "unavailble"?

Would there be a way of doing this through the admin panel?

(apologies if this has already been discussed, I couldnt find it if it has!)

To edit blackout dates:1. Open: Includes/modules/pages/checkout_shipping/jscript_calendar_head.php
2. Find the few lines of javascript (you can't miss it), and look for this part: ```
blocked: ['24-25,31 12 *', '0 * * 0']

3. There are instructions near the top on how to disable specific days.
4. By default, the 24th thru the 25th of december of each year is disabled (24-25,31 12 *) and every sunday (sunday is day zero of the week) of every week of every month of every year is disabled. You can add as many blackout parameters as you'd like by separating them with commas.Unfortunately there is no way of doing this through the admin panel right now. I will put it onto the Features Wish List.

Let me know if you get it figured out. I will also add instructions to the readme file on how to block out dates (which i should have done in the first place) :smile:

Hello, I installed this addon 2 weeks ago on my zen cart and it worked perfectly, but days later my server got hacked and everything was erased. Now I'm reinstalling but it does not work, I can't see the calendar on the cart :dontgetit

I tried reinstalling on 138 and 138a, but I get the same, I'm pretty sure it's a detail missing from my part. The only doubt I have at the moment is

"Make sure to change any folders labeled YOUR_TEMPLATE to the template you are using." I uploaded the YOUR_TEMPLATE files on all of the templates (classic, template default, your_template) just to make sure, but found another your_template file under languages.

Can anybody help?:unsure: and another question what are the .DS_Store files?

1. The YOUR_TEMPLATE file is just that, it's whatever template (theme) you have selected (Admin -> Tools -> Template Selection). You SHOULD NOT have any folders on your server actually labeled as "YOUR_TEMPLATE" unless that is what you happened to name your template.
2. The .DS_Store files are hidden files created by the MAC Operating System whenever it accesses a folder or drive. It holds pretty useless mac-pertinent info, such as icon preferences, folder placements, etc...Just delete them.
   If your store got hacked, you should really take a look at this to properly secure it this time around: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=73

:laugh: it works!!:clap: what a great addon, now I have to check with my client if this is what she wants:wacko:

thanks a lot for your help

Alright!! So, i've found a bug with Order Delivery Date that happens when a customer checks out with the Paypal Integrated Checkout method.

Basically, when the order email is generated upon successfully completing the paypal payment, the email define "EMAIL_TEXT_DELIVERY_DATE" is not translating to the value set in the language file. The delivery date still makes it to the email OK, but the email prints out as above: EMAIL_TEXT_DELIVERY_DATE

I just started looking into the issue, but if anyone has any idea what could be causing this, please let me know. I would venture to bet that this has to do with a paypal data array somewhere. As I don't have a comprehensive understanding of the data flow with PayPal, i might need someone else to point me in the right direction with this one...

It's gotta be something simple - 9 out of 10 times it is. :smile:

Great mod, was wondering if this issue was ever sorted????

Many thanks

Rob

As of the most recent version, i have not had this problem. So, it shouldn't be a bug anymore, but, as always, you should run a test and let me know if there are any issues still hanging around.

Hi and thanks for the reply.

I am using version 2.2 on a zen installation 1.3.8a if this helps.

I attach a screen shot of the email:

Many thanks

The problem that was originally raised had to do specifically with the date not registering. The error you are seeing appears to be from an undefined language definition.

You should find the following line near the bottom of:

• ADMIN/INCLUDES/LANGUAGES/orders.php
• INCLUDES/LANGUAGES/YOUR_TEMPLATE/checkout_process.php

define('EMAIL_TEXT_DELIVERY_DATE', 'Desired Delivery Date:');

Yeo - these are all in place.

ADMIN/INCLUDES/LANGUAGES/orders.php is actually ADMIN/INCLUDES/LANGUAGES/ENGLISH/orders.php according to the structure of the mod. Is this correct??

Cheers again for your assistance.

Sorry - i wrote the response pretty fast yesterday. You are correct.

Where are the emails generated from when you see the problem? When the order is initially processed? or when you update the status?

Also, do you have any other mods installed? If so, what are they?

I think there is a problem with the zip package. I have no problems downloading it, but I can't get anything extracted from it.

Tammy,

When i download it from the site and unzip it, everything works ok. Are you on PC, Mac, or Linux? And can you expand (pun not intended) on what you mean by not being able to extract anything? ie: Do you get an error message? Is the unzipped folder blank? Have you tried different unzipping tools? etc...

Count of Monte Cristo! I can't get this to work to save my life. I can't just drag and drop the files over -- I have a purchase order mod installed.

I also wanted to add a variety of other dates, but while I added their back-end functionality, I tried to do my testing with just order_early_delivery_date, and nothing comes through. I haven't even started on the admin side.

I used CompareIt! and can't see any differences between the contribution's code and mine.

ARRRGGGHHH!!!

I'm at the point where I'm willing to pay for a solution -- I don't have a ton of cash, but I've been working on this for three days.

Have your tried comparing the contribution files to a brand new / fresh copy of the zen cart code, or just your own cart?

There is a great chance the purchase order mod is messing with getting this working for you.

I'm on a PC vista home premium. When I click the zip file I can see the folders and the content inside, but when I click "extract all files" I get an error message that says "the folder you are trying to create already exists, try again, skip or cancel. If you try again the same error just keeps popping back up indefinitely and if you skip it the folder will be created, but with only 2 blank files inside and no other folders or content. I've tried extracting it to a different location than the one that the zip file is located in and the errors are the same. I haven't tried another upzipping tool, but I guess I can go download one.

I get an error message that says "the folder you are trying to create already exists, try again, skip or cancel.
Actually it says:
"There is already a file with the same name as the folder name you specified.
Specify a different name.
File: order_delivery_date_2-2
Try Again, Skip, Cancel"

Wait! I think I see the problem. There is a "ghost" file in each folder with the same name as the folder itself. The contents look like this.
Name File type Size
admin folder
email folder
includes folder
admin file 0kb
email file 0kb
includes file 0kb

I've never seen this before. What are they? They are on every level of the package. An empty file with the exact same name as the folder. Okay, I am able to drag and drop only the good files and not the "ghost" files.

What are the file extensions on those "ghost" files? And have you tried another unzipping program yet to see if it happens there too?

mrmeech:

There are no file extensions on them. The icon used is a blank paper, (i.e. empty or unidentified *file *right?) However, if you click one in explorer, it says "this *folder *is empty".

I did manage to pull out what I need. At least I think I have. I can't seem to get the button to show up. https://www.enchantedcostumes.com/index.php?main_page=checkout_shipping

Any ideas on what I may be missing? I've gone through it for 3 hours now trying to figure it out.

The calendar does work in IE, but not in FF. I was using FF to test it, my bad. Any ideas on the solution for the browser difference?
