Calendar ~ bids sought for programming additonal feature

[ocf@rme-w.com]

We are buidling a shopping system for our flower business Oregon Coastal Flowers. Virtually all flower sites have a calendar option to select delivery date. Look at our current site, http://www.flowersbulbs.com for an example. Other examples are at http://www.flowerbud.com, http://www.fiftyflowers.com, http://www.pacificcallas.com. This is not available through ablecommerce. Is there someone out there who can quote me on integrating a calendar checkout system into ablecommerce.

These are the parameters:

1. Each product needs to have option for calendar. Not all our products need it.
2. Each product that has the calendar option checked, needs to have parameters of dates of availability, e.g. available between 3/15/09 to 5/15/09.
3. Each product requires blackout dates e.g. christmas, new years, mondays, etc.
4. Each product requires a certain amount of days of lead time. For example some products are available for same day shipping placed before 11am pst, while others require to be ordered 10 days before desired delivery date.

Please e-mail me with quotes at ocf@rme-w.com with cc: to zweifel@oregoncoast.com
Thank you,

I'm interested in this feature as well.

How about this file [[ConLib:Utility\PickerAndCalendar]] ?? Can this be used ??

[jmestep]

That ConLib uses the ComponentArt Picker/Calendar and there are a lot of options available with it. You can include it on any page with
<%@ Register TagPrefix="ComponentArt" Namespace="ComponentArt.Web.UI" Assembly="ComponentArt.Web.UI" %>
Details are available here, but they might be for a newer version than what is included in your Able, so if CA has added features newer than that, those won't be available.

This works perfectly [[ConLib:Utility\PickerAndCalendar]] but, I haven't been able to integrate this into an order page. For example.... the customer is placing an order and uses this PickerAndCalendar to select the date they what the product to be delivered. Passing this information with the order is where I get stuck. Maybe you know an easy solution....

[jmestep]

The easiest, but maybe not the best would be to put it into the order note section of the conlib (MyOrderPage) and save the selection there. I think you can add a custom field to an order also, but I think that might be harder to program.
