Delivery date option.

[PeterM]

Hi,
I am trying to give clients the option to select a specific delivery day.
Best place to have it would be in check out.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to be able to do this.

Thanks.

Delivery date..

Many thanks for that.
Is it possible to put the requested delivery date in the check out section?

Also i need to get the "Payment method" into the customer email, how does one do this?

Thanks for your help.

Peter,

Is it possible to put the requested delivery date in the check out section?

This information once entered will carry through the checkout. If you want it to only appear in the checkout, you could try playing around with the shopping mode, use 'Quantity in Shopping Cart'. If that is not what youa re after, you may have to use one of the 'User Definable' fields in the checkout to get the information, see in Design | text | Web Site (Cont).. You can then use the instructions in the Advanced Users Guide, page 68 'Adding Extra Fields into the Customer Email' to get the field to appear in the email.

I would suggest making backup's of the template before making any changes.

Also i need to get the "Payment method" into the customer email, how does one do this?

This would require a bit of extra coding. Edit OrderScript.pl in 'Notepad'.

Search for 'sub GenerateCustomerMail' (without the quotes)
Then search for
#
# Read the template
#

Now add the following code just above the first # in the 'Read the template' bit...

Code :[QUOTE]#
# Add payment info
#
my $sPaymentDescription =
$::g_pPaymentList->{$::g_PaymentInfo{METHOD}}->{PROMPT};
$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('PaymentMethod', $sPaymentDescription);[QUOTE]
You can similarly add Shipping Class Information by adding this bit right below the above

[QUOTE] #
# Add shipping info
#
$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('ShippingClass', $::s_Ship_sShippingDescription);[QUOTE]

Save and exit the file.

Open Act_CustomerEmail.txt with notepad and add

Payment Method: <Actinic:PaymentMethod/>

for shipping

Shipping Class: <Actinic:ShippingClass/>

wherever you like this to appear in the email. Save the file and then update your site.

Actinic is not able to provide any detailed support for script changes made. If you find that there is a problem, an original copy of the script can be found within the 'Original' folder in your installation. Copy this into your site folder, replace the script you have changed and upload to you site. If you have a test facility, we strongly recommend that you test any changes before you upload them to your live site.

Kind regards,

[PeterM]

Many thanks for all the help.

I have not got the Payment method into the customer email thanks.

We have also got the delivery date request done.

Now another small blip has come up !!

We want an extra email copy sent to, so we entered another email address after the one we already have set.

We read that by leaving a space this would work, in fact it does for a short while then all emails stop being sent after an order is placed.
We set it back to the single email address and it's fine again ! !

Any ideas?

Peter,

You can have emails sent to additional addresses by entering the address in Business Settings | Ordering, under 'Email' you should see 'Send receipt Email copies to'. You can use a "," as a seperator.

Kind regards,
