How to let user choose delivery date?

Question

My website is gifting website so I need to let users select the date of delivery. I want that selection (textbox with calendar popup) on shipping details step. I can google for a free extension but I need to hear from someone who's already solved that issue. I also don't want to modify core files.

Answer 1

There are few extensions available like

• http://www.aitoc.com/en/magentomods_delivery_date.html
• http://ecommerce.aheadworks.com/magento-extensions/delivery-date-and-notice.html

Answer 2

A few additions to this based on my own experience:

Shatir's comment to the OPs question talk about kiril's solution here -> This module almost works on 1.7.0.2 but the date itself isn't displayed in the order in the backend. Rather than go through debugging this I just implemented this module;

http://ecommerce-team.com/delivery-date-and-comment.html

Quick and easy, works fine and there are some backend config settings which made it useful. If I was doing it again I'd try this one (which I never found when googling);

As a footnote - The client originally bought the Mage-World Advanced Delivery Schedule module. Whilst I'm conscious of not wanting to bad-mouth specific development houses this module really does deserve to be bad-mouthed, that's all I'll say about it. Uninstalled and deleted.
