Custom field for future date

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.2.2 Business
-- Joomla version -- : 2.5.16

I'm trying to setup a custom field for the user to select a future date that is greater than today's date (ie: from tomorrow onwards) for a required delivery date of the item. I have it in the item table and required so that the user can't add to cart if it is not selected.

I have two problems:

1. When I set the "Allow" field to "Only future dates" it still allows the user to select todays date. Possibly it is based on time rather than date? Is there a way to set this to be today's date +1 day?

2. When I set the format to show as "Friday, 10-Jan-2014" using %D, %d-%M-%Y with Only future dates selected the front end gives an error "Please select a date in the future". Is there a way to set the format to display the long date when using the Only future dates value?

Thanks

Hi Jerone,

I purchased and installed the plugin. Whilst it looks nice on the front end, it has a few problems:

1. When I select "Only future dates" it still allows the current date to be selected.

2. When I specify a date format it instantly puts "Thu, 01-Jan-1970" in as the default value.

3. The language file appears to be missing so I'm not sure what each variable is supposed to do:

Hi again Jerome!

update - more issues...

1. As soon as I EDIT the custom field in the backend it populates the default date as 1 Jan 1970 even when there is no format specified.

2. I tried to set the default date to today (using the radio button) and it puts today's date (with the time) in as default in the frontend despite having "only future dates" selected. It also puts todays date into the default date parameter in the backend. Does this mean the default date is permanently hardcoded as this date?

3. The only way to clear the default date is to delete the custom field and create a new one and make all required changes on the first save.

Any suggestions?

Thanks - that works perfectly!
