setting a date in the checkout

Hi

I'm using Hikashop business and use the calender in the check-out, to let customers choose the date when the merchandise has to arrive.
Now I will be on holidays for feew days but don't want to close the shop.

Is here a possibility to set a date from when the order can be shipped?
Here how I would like to worke it:
for example
today is the 1.Dec.
we will return from holiday the 8. Dec.
customer should be able to set any date after the 10.Dec.

Is there a way to set this somehow?

Hi,

There is a plugin for HikaShop named "Dynamic Calendar".
This plugin add new options for the "date custom field". It allows to select forbidden weekdays, specific days, add "waiting days" and more.
You can find the plugin here : www.hikashop.com/en/component/hikashop/product/cid-19.html

And a screenshot of his configuration panel here:

Hi Jerome

this sounds good but how do I set the date after my holiday?
Will I have to put each day of my holiday into the forbidden special days and those days will not be selectable in the front end?
Will the "forbidden days" appear in red or in a different color, so the customer sees why he can not select those days?

Hi,

Dates become no-selectable in the calendar. Like the option "past dates" or "future dates" of the current date custom field.
There is no time-range but it would be possible to add this option in the plugin.

Hi Jerome

I guess that I'll buy this plug in.

Hi Jerome

I just bought the dynamic calender but in the checkout there is no change....
Even the forbidden days are still selectable.

Could you let me know how to set it up right?

Best regards

Hi Jerome

Found the setting in the calender ("allow" set to: dynamic exclusions)
It's working fine now.

Thank you
Raphael

Hi Jerome

I see that the color of the forbidden days are the same as the color of Saturday and Sunday. This irritates customers and they will think that Saturday and Sunday is not selectable.
Is there any way to change the color of those days that can not be selected from the dynamic calender.
I would like to have them red. This way the customer knows exactly what day can't be selected.

Hi,

You can override the current CSS for the Joomla calendar.
You can add new rules in your HikaShop CSS in order to display the weekend cells with a different color (or background-color) than the disabled cells.

hi Jerome

Can you tell me where to find the CSS for the Joomla calendar?

and can you tell me where to find the Hikashop CSS and how to write those rules.

I'm not really into programming, sorry about my basic questions.

Hi,

The joomla calendar CSS is : /media/system/css/calendar-jos.css

After that, you can modify the CSS of HikaShop in the backend: (menu) System > (submenu) Configuration > (tab) Display > (section) CSS
You would found more information here : www.hikashop.com/fr/support/84-css-styling.html
