Pick-up delivery with a fixed date

Hi,

Well, there are a few ways based on your needs and skills :

- One option would be to create a custom order field ( www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/4...shop-field-form.html ) of the type "text" via the menu Display>Custom fields. In its display settings, you could activate the display in the emails. And in each order, you could edit the additional information area to fill that input field with the date you plan for the delivery. This requires manually providing the date in each order, so it's more to manage in the long run, but that's the solution with the most fine grained control and doesn't require any coding knowledge.

- One option would be to do the same but instead of filling the custom field manually, you could use a mass action ( www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/167-massaction-form.html ) with trigger "after an order is created" and an action "run PHP code" where you could calculate the date of the last saturday of the month ( stackoverflow.com/questions/6478796/how-...-monday-of-the-month ) and then run a MySQL query to update the value of the custom field with something like:

$date = ''; // custom PHP code to get the last saturday of the month in a human readable format
$db = JFactory::getDBO();
$db->setQuery('UPDATE #__hikashop_order SET xxx='.$db->quote($date).' WHERE order_id={order_id}');
$db->execute();
