Dynamic Datepicker

-- url of the page with the problem -- : www.marcopolovenezia.com/shop/product/1-...ntica-a-venezia.html
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.2.2
-- Joomla version -- : 2.5

Hello,

I've seen already a similar post, but I would like to focus the attention on this problem:

I've bought the dynamic datepicker that seem to do a grat job for my purpouse ( selling tickets for specific days), but it causes problems:

1) doesn't respect the compulsory field ( leave it empty to try);
2) It doesn't show up in Cart as custom value;
3) It doesn't allow the selected product with variants to show up as single product with selected variants but as "single variants as products" ( see picture)

My question : is there a possibility, a little tweak to avoid this problem? To pass the custom item field to the cart?

Thanks for your answer.

Hi,

I made a fast test and I don't think the problem is coming from the datepicker custom field.
When you add the product "Crociera Romantica a Venezia", the product itself is not added in the cart but two other products are added : "Adulti" and "Bambini".
These products are added in the cart but they don't have the datepicker custom field attached. The custom field is attached to the product "Crociera Romantica a Venezia" which is finally not added into your cart.

That's why you can't see the custom field but it is not related to the "datepicker" but it will be the same using another kind of custom field.

I will recommend you to group the options to the main product in your HikaShop configuration and let the main product to be added in your cart.
At this moment it will be easier for the customer to understand the products in the cart and it will display the "item custom fields".

Regards,

THanks for your reply.

I make you test 2 other products, remind that they are builded with the same system:

Main product with 2 options: adults and children
Adults and children have 10 variants.
A custom item field datepicker.

Now look at this product:
www.marcopolovenezia.com/shop/product/36...oni-x-san-marco.html

Its has the datepicker but there is no weekday restriction and the cart results ok andl the date is passed to cart ( order)

Look this article:
www.marcopolovenezia.com/shop/product/36...oni-x-san-marco.html

Cart result ok, item custom filed is passed.

So, I presume that is the weekday restriction causes the error.

I'm struggling with it!!!

Hi,

Would it be possible to have your datepicker configuration ?
I want to reproduce your problem in my local website.

Thanks

Thanks for reply.

Ok, picture nr 1 is not working, there are the weekdays restriction

picture 2 the one that works ( but still doesn't work with compulsory range of dates)

Many thanks for your time!

Hi,

I couldn't reproduce your problem in my local website.
In my side, when I tried to add a product with a wrong date, I got an error message saying that the date is invalid.

I didn't see in your webpage a zone for the "system-message-container" ; does your template handle the Joomla messages ?
www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...tibility-issues.html

But I see that the option "default today" should manage the date restriction in order to not select "today" if the value is not inside the accepted dates.
But it does not explain your problem.
Allowing or not some weekdays does not change the way that the plugin handle the dates and should not refuse to add the product in the cart.

Regards,

Thanks,

I will follow the instructions in the suggested page.

In case I will report my conclusions.

Hello,

Many many thanks for your help.

Hi,

I saw that there are javascript problem introduced by "PrettyPhoto script".
Hope it will help you.

Regards,

Not only!!!
Still working on it....

Hello,

I'm still testin different configurations, different templates, but I get casual errors.

When I think I've found the right configuration and I do a stress test Im' proud that I've solved the issue. I do the last try and I get the error.

I also use minimal templates, to elimitate eventual scripts, but same result.

I kind of casual error.
Of course, if I eliminate the calender the orders are Ok, I get the variants included in the main Article.

I will try to update joomla to last version 3.2.2 and see if it could elimitate eventual conflicts.

In Java Console I get only an information:

event.returnValue is deprecated. Please use the standard event.preventDefault() instead.

no errors.

Hi,

Does only the week day restriction is causing you the trouble ?

Regards,

...Actually... yes

If I have no weekdays restrictions it works smooth.

Any idea?

Hi,

Sorry for the late answer.
Would it be possible to have a ftp access or an access to your backend ?
I want to make some test with the date picker, try another solutions. For that I need to get some debug trace details so I need a direct access to the datepicker php files.

Thanks to it, I will be able to determine the source of the weekday trouble and fix it.

Regards,

PS: You can send me such private information using private message, or email (jerome at hikashop).

Wil be wonderful, I will ask the owner to create me an FTP account.
I will then send you in PM.

Tomorrow I will send you the FTP account.
Another small issue about timepicker:

doesn't respect the compulsory function:

Hi,

Thanks for the FTP access.
I tried to make some debug but the last product link you gave me didn't work anymore.
I still do not understand what "compulsory" means and for the debug process, the option to filter the week days should be set. It could be easier with an access to the HikaShop backend (to change the option of the custom field).

Regards,

Hi,

To complete my previous message, the first product in the thread is working good.
I am able to select a date and to add the product in the cart.
As you can see the date is right selected and displayed. In the product page, there are some date limitation (the week days).

Regards,

Hello,

I was working in some product, now they are online again.

Compulsory means that the customer HAS TO SELECT a date, otherwise it doesn't go further. But it doesn't work.

THe products that are not working are the one that needs a special weekday.

For example:

www.marcopolovenezia.com/shop/product/11...zia-novita-2014.html

www.marcopolovenezia.com/shop/product/86...-punta-sabbioni.html

www.marcopolovenezia.com/shop/product/1-...ntica-a-venezia.html

Please make a stress test with these products, you will see that casually they make errors.

Then try to leave the date field empty and the product will be added anyway.

Thanks for your support.
