Hi,

I think that you'll need some code customization to do it, can you give me more information about your custom field through some screenshot then I'll maybe be able to help you.

Thanks :).

There is no option to set the default value as today. But if you click on the date picker icon, it will have today selected by default.
To also have it filled in the input box, you would have to add the code:
<?php $this->order->delivery_date = hikashop_getDate(time(),'%d-%B-%Y'); ?>
at the beginning of the file "fields" of the view "checkout" via the menu Display->Views for that custom field.
Note that it won't work on our demo website since we do not authorize the modification of files on it for security reasons.

But '%d-%B-%Y' show error: DateTime::__construct() [datetime.--construct]: Failed to parse time string (06-May-2013) at position 0 (0): Unexpected character. So use '%d-%m-%Y'

Yes, that was a quick example of code. The format of the date actually depends on what you put in the format field of the custom field.

Tried to change format field to %d-%B-%Y, but with enabled option "Only future dates" got error "Please select a date in the future", when select date in the future :blink:

Hi,

There is a little mistake in the algorithm which change the month in text to his number.
Please update the file "administrator/com_hikashop/classes/field.php" and replace the line

$conversion .= 'for(var j=0;j<12;++j){if(Calendar._MN[j].substr(0,elems['.$mP.'].length).toLowerCase()==elems['.$mP.'].toLowerCase()){elems['.$mP.']=j;break;}};
By
$conversion .= 'for(var j=0;j<12;++j){if(Calendar._MN[j].substr(0,elems['.$mP.'].length).toLowerCase()==elems['.$mP.'].toLowerCase()){elems['.$mP.']=(j+1);break;}};
It will fix your problem (and this fix will be include in the next HikaShop release).
