Adding messages and requested ship date to Power Store

Per our earlier discussion, I have a florist shopping cart I am working on. Let me know if these are the steps I should start with in order to have a message box and a preferred delivery date.

In ps4_products database, add two more items.
ProductMessage using varchar255
ProductDelDate using datetime

If that is correct, then how would a date time be set so it would be in the next business day which would not be the same day, nor on a weekend?

Then, where do I start to look for adding these two fields in the cart ordering area? I'll probably need help, but I'd like to try if it's not too difficult.

You would add the columns to the Orders database table not the Products table.

Then you would add the columns to the checkout page: webassist/plugins/shopping_cart/checkout_form.php

Then update the store cart summary in database server behavior found on: webassist/plugins/shopping_cart/process_transaction.php

I think those are the steps.

When you add the datepicker to the checkout form you can set it to require it to be any number of days in the future and restrict days and dates using the Datepicker ui: https://jqueryui.com/datepicker/

Thanks for the direction. I'll see what I can figure out and then probably surrender. :-)

I'd like to set up an appointment for next week at your convenience. I have added a message column to the ps4_orders: OrdersMessage

It turns out I won't need the delivery date item as they are doing same day delivery or next day. I just made notes to the customers for that.

The page that the customer will see where this message goes is here:
https://blossoming-stems-floral.com/PowerStore/cart.php

And also to be noted in the admin orders_detail.php page. I have put notes on these two pages where they could go. I wouldn't think the mail receipt would need that detail though, to keep it simpler.

I think the associated pages are these:
admin/orders_detail.php
wa/plugins/shopping_cart/checkout.form
wa/plugins/shopping_cart?process_transaction.php
wa/plugins/shopping_cart/cart_editible.php

Please let me know which day next week you may be available for the online consultation, or if easier for you, I can send log-in access, or even those 4 pages if that is all that is needed.

Thanks for your help.

I'd want login access since I always want to test what I've done to be sure I haven't made a mistake. I'd prefer to do it in a screen sharing session in case I have questions as well.

Tuesday between 10-2pm is probably best for me.

Works for me... but define time zone: I am East Coast you are West Coast... And I always mess it up. :-)
So pick a time East Coast and I'll be here.
