Advanced Date Picker Issue

Hi Jerome,

Thank you so much for trying to help on this. It's really important part of the website.

Please, look at the attached screenshots. I currently deleted all the pick up dates fields and left only 2 for the first two options of the Location Pick Up field. The configuration is the same like the one on screenshot I sent you with a previous message, the only difference is that I disabled the Default today option for all cases.

One other important thing is that I don't see that the "Hour for extra day" is working at all!

Regards,

Hi Jerome,

I sent you a private message, I am not sure if you got it. The improvement didn't fix the issue. I have made some changes on the website for testing this. Please check the same fields now on the checkout page. What I have noticed is that only the date picker for the first location option is working well. Also, I am not sure how relevant is this, when I select the first location option there is a default day on it and when I select another location there isn't any (although the configuration is the same). One last thing is that on the backend when I have the location field accessable only for a particular group, then I don't get it's values for the "Display limited to" field at the date pickers.

Dora

Hi Jerome,

I am not sure what else do you need regarding the configuration, cause I sent you a screenshot of the configuration pickup date field. Please use the credentials I pm you for accessing the backend of website. Please, let me know if you need to make any changes at another part of the website.

I am still waiting for an answer to this. Meanwhile, one more thing that I noticed is that the date picker does not accept a date, which is after a forbidden day, even though this date is allowed. For example, if I set Mondays as forbidden days, Thursdays are not acceptable too, even though they are not forbidden days and they are selectable on the date picker. Can you fix this now?

Hi Jerome,

You keep sending me answers that you haven't checked that actually can make things work on my website. You have my website's url to test it, screeshots of the configurations and also the credentials for the backend.
Have you tried to select a pick up date for other than the first location option (for example Edwardsville location) on the checkout page and you found out that it's actually working? Cause this still doesn't work for me. Again, I would like to point out what I noticed:

"For example, if I set Mondays as forbidden days, Thursdays are not acceptable too, even though they are not forbidden days and they are selectable on the date picker."

Well, for some reason, after my last message, suddenly, all are working fine for all the date pickers! Maybe it's because I can see that the datepickers php and xml files are being updated 10 minutes ago!

Thanks!

This is strange indeed, the CLEAN plugin which was available in your message #178833 6 days ago, has today's date now.
Anyway, I am sure you're an exceptional developer, Jerome. But keep in mind that we are the users of what you develop and you know better than everyone and that we are not responsible for testing or debugging or fixing the issues.

Hi,
I see a few posts mentioning Advanced Date Picker field type but I don't have it on my Hikashop 2.4 with joomla 3.4.1.
Could you tell me why it is not on my installation?
The reason I ask is because I want to use a datepicker but the 'Simple Date Picker' field requires mootools-more and mootools-core, which I don't really use anywhere else on my site.

So,
1 - Why don't I have the advance date field type in my installation?
2 - Where do I get it?
3 - does it require mootools?

Thanks,

Hi Jerome,
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. And I am sorry if I missed the 'activating the plugin' part.

I activated it and I was able to change my custom field type from 'simple date picker' to 'Advanced date picker'.

One funny thing though, you say it doesn't require mootools. But I use the Mootools Enabler/Disabler plugin to disable mootools.
If the plugin is active and mootools-more and mootools-core is disable the date picker doesn't work. If there is no dependency of those libraries it should work regardless shouldn't it?

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Mauricio

The Advanced Date Picker.
If I disable mootools using the plugin I mentioned above it doesn't work.
I tested using my own template, beez3 and protostar. It doesn't work if mootools is disabled.
So if the Advanced date picker doesn't required mootools, why doesn't it work?

Thanks again.

Well, when I enable the plugin that disables mootools I get squeezeBox js erros related to the checkout, which is related to hikashop.
So it looks to me some of hikashop code requires mootools.

I am pretty sure if you try disabling mootools on your test and test the checkout using beez3 for example you will get the same problem. Advanced Date Field not working.

Please advise.

Thanks
