Hi,

Is there a way to add a calendar to the cart on checkout? My website rents equipment and currently uses the additional information text are to add the times the rentals are needed. Unfortunately, customers overlook this and checkout without adding dates triggering a call from us to confirm this information.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to integrate a calendar.

Thank you,
Eddie

Hi Eddie,

Phil has an add-on that might work for you:

Hi Vince,

Does the link you sent provide an option for adding a calendar with the option to select dates for rentals? I don't see any info regarding my question.

Thank you,
Eddie

Hi Peter,

This is great! Two questions, can it be integrated in the shopping cart? And can I set this up to have the user add a start to end date?

Thank you,
Eddie

As it happens I meant that you had the question on checkout of "Where did you find us" with the options of Google and Yahoo, and this was probably just because the example in the includes file hadn't been removed. If you want to have a date picker as a product option, just go to your product options admin page and set up a new date picker option and then add that to products in the products admin page. However if you want the date picker on checkout, I think that is what the bettapages MOD does as Quadrant pointed out above.

Thank you, Vince.

Can I set this calendar, in the product section, to have the user add a start to end date? My customer rents equipment by date of use.

I set it up here to see how it looks: https://www.sunsetbeachumbrellas.com/proddetail.php?prod=cabana10x10

Thank you,

Hi Eddie
Sure, just set up two date picker options, one for the start date and one for the end date.

If you made these changes to your css file the quantity input would look better.

ectstyle.css line 545

div.detailquantity {
float: left;
width: 130px;
margin-top: 16px;
}

ectstyle.css line 551

div.detailquantitytext {
margin-right: 2px;
float: left;
text-align: right;
}

Sorry, one more question. Is there a way to force them to have to add the dates? I see you can add to cart but I need the customer to require they enter dates of th erental.

Thank you,
Eddie

Nevermind, the customer does not like it in the PDP.

Any way to add this functionality to a content region then add it over to the cart?

Eddie Ortiz

I added another field to the incart.php for the customer to select a date as well as the existing text field for house information. I need to set these to "required" though. Where do I perform that change?

Thank you,

Hi Eddie,
How did you do that?
It sounds like you have edited the core files, and while that's not a problem, it's not really part of the official support here.

I'm guessing you have added, or altered one of the existing input fields.
Maybe something like this - https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_required.asp

Thanks,
David

I really don't want to edit the core files but I have to satisfy the clients request.

I don't see where to edit the required fields though and the link will not give me the info I need to add required to these fields.

I'm sorry if I am going off support...

Here is where I placed my edit:

<div class="cobhl cartheader cart2subheader cart2column"><?php print $GLOBALS['xxMisc']?></div>
<?php
if(@$noadditionalinfo!='TRUE'){ ?>
<div class="checkoutadditionals">
<div class="cobhl cobhl2 cdformtaddinfo"><?php print $GLOBALS['xxAddInf']?></div>
<div class="cobll cobll2 cdformaddinfo"><textarea name="ordAddInfo" rows="3" cols="44" onmouseover="this.placeholder = 'House Name & Address'" <?php if(@$GLOBALS['addinfplaceholder']!='') print 'placeholder="' . $GLOBALS['addinfplaceholder'] . '" '?>autocomplete="false"><?php print htmlspecials(@$ordAddInfo)?></textarea></div>
</div>
<div class="cobhl cartheader cart2subheader cart2column"><?php print $GLOBALS['xxMisc2']?></div><div class="cobll cdformaddinfo"><textarea name="ordAddInfo" rows="3" cols="44" onmouseover="this.placeholder = 'Enter Dates of Rental'" <?php if(@$GLOBALS['addinfplaceholder']!='') print 'placeholder="' . $GLOBALS['addinfplaceholder'] . '" '?>autocomplete="false"><?php print htmlspecials(@$ordAddInfo)?></textarea></div>

Eddie Ortiz

I removed the code from the page. Any way that functionality could be included in a future update?

Thank you,

Hi Eddie
We have a suggestions forum and it's a good idea to post these things over there so we have a record when we're looking for new features to add for the next updater.

I am interested in adding a date picker to the checkout process for "Pickup Date"... Can this be done? Phil at Betta pages no longer has that on his site.
