show delivery estimate in front end order status

Hi,

I want the customer is able to view their delivery date estimate when they sign in their account to look at the order status.
How can I do that? see attached.

You will have to create a custom field of the table "order" via the menu Display->Custom fields.
Then, you will have to edit the file "listing" of the view "order" of the front end via the menu Display->Views and add some code to display the additional information.
You will be able to display the date for the current element like that:

<?php echo $this->row->CUSTOM_FIELD_COLUMN_NAME; ?>


where CUSTOM_FIELD_COLUMN_NAME is the custom field's column name.

Nicolas,

With your instruction, I can only see & edit the "delivery estimate" at the back end ,but it still isn't shown at the front end. See below screen shot.

I've attached the screen shots for the setting on the custom field and the added coding on the file "listing" of the view "order" of the front end.

I was a bit fast. It should be that code:

<?php echo $row->CUSTOM_FIELD_COLUMN_NAME; ?>


Also, please make sure that you add it in the foreach loop. if you put it at the end like you did, you will only get it once at the end of the table for the last order.

For example you could put it after :
<?php echo hikashop_getDate($row->order_created,'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M');?>

The date appears at the front end ,but the column date didn't show up, there is no space between the date and "delivery date" as well...
See attached screen.

Yes, you have to add your own column for that.
That is standard HTML code...

Hi, Nicolas,

Please see below screen shot, that's the column name I want to add. Can you show me the coding and where to insert the code. Excuse I am too green on this... :blush:
