Date Custom fields

Hi,

In the data area of your custom field, instead of entering values, you can provide a MySQL query.
There, you can provide a MySQL query to generate the dates.
For example:

SELECT CONCAT('Tomorrow (',DATE_FORMAT(CURDATE() + INTERVAL 1 DAY, '%d/%m/%Y'),')') as value UNION SELECT CONCAT('The day after tomorrow (',DATE_FORMAT(CURDATE() + INTERVAL 2 DAY, '%d/%m/%Y'),')') UNION SELECT DATE_FORMAT(CURDATE() + INTERVAL 3 DAY, '%d/%m/%Y') UNION SELECT DATE_FORMAT(CURDATE() + INTERVAL 4 DAY, '%d/%m/%Y') UNION SELECT DATE_FORMAT(CURDATE() + INTERVAL 5 DAY, '%d/%m/%Y') UNION SELECT DATE_FORMAT(CURDATE() + INTERVAL 6 DAY, '%d/%m/%Y') UNION SELECT DATE_FORMAT(CURDATE() + INTERVAL 7 DAY, '%d/%m/%Y') UNION SELECT DATE_FORMAT(CURDATE() + INTERVAL 8 DAY, '%d/%m/%Y');

Hi,

Are you talking about JDate ?
docs.joomla.org/How_to_use_JDate
If so, I understand you're saying that you want to be able to use PHP code to generate the values selectable by the custom field. Is that so ?
It is possible but it's not as easy as the MySQL query solution I provided in my previous message. With the MySQL query, you just test the query you need via PHPMyAdmin or an online MySQL query testing website. Once you have the query, you can just copy / paste it in your field settings.

With PHP, you need to develop a plugin of the group "hikashop" and implement the "Field API" :
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/6...entation.html#fields
With it, you can add your own type of custom field, have it extend the normal radio field class, and manually generate the values with your own PHP code and / or with JDate. An example of a plugin using this API to add a custom field type is in the folder plugins/hikashop/datepickerfield/
It adds the "Advanced Date Picker" custom field type to HikaShop.

As you probably understand, doing what you asked for as a custom plugin with the Field API and JDate is more complex and will take more time than the MySQL query, so I still recommand you to use the MySQL query solution.

Hi,

Yes, it's totally possible.
Just make sure you unpublish the original plugin so that your plugin can take over its place.
Besides changing the filenames and folder name, you also need to change the class name in the main PHP file, and the element in the XML file.

Hi,

In the main PHP file of the plugin, you removed this code:

	public function onFieldsLoad(&$fields, &$options) {
		$me = new stdClass();
		$me->name = 'datepickerfield';
		$me->text = JText::_('DATE_PICKER');
		$me->options = array('required', 'default', 'columnname', 'format', 'allow', 'datepicker_options');

		$fields[] = $me;

		$opt = new stdClass();
		$opt->name = 'datepicker_options';
		$opt->text = JText::_('DATE_PICKER_OPTIONS');
		$opt->own_block = true;
		$opt->obj = 'fieldOpt_datepicker_options';

		$options[$opt->name] = $opt;
	}

Hi,

It's probably because you moved the require_once of the class file to put it inside the constructor of the plugin. I would recommend you do like in the default date picker field plugin and have it outside of the class definition in the main PHP file of the plugin.

That's not what I'm talking about.
In the main PHP file, you have this code:

		if (!class_exists('hikashopNext7daysfield')) {
			require_once __DIR__ . '/next7daysfield_class.php';
		}

if(defined('HIKASHOP_COMPONENT')) {
	require_once( dirname(__FILE__).DS.'datepickerfield_class.php' );
}

Hi,

It depends how long it takes for me to fix everything.
Code generated with ChatGPT is usually filled with bugs.
I will charge 60€ per hour of work.
