To enable visitors to search to find what articles are available on a given date, you can use this search form:
<form action="search.php?action=filter&filled=1&whichtype=links" method="post">
Find articles that are available on the date <input type="text" name="eventdate" class="datepicker">
<button type="submit" class="gobutton">Find</button>
</form>
Find articles that are available on the date <input type="text" name="eventdate" class="datepicker">
<button type="submit" class="gobutton">Find</button>
</form>
If you have the shopping cart switch enabled, you can integrate this with that. For the search results page, you can add this cart button code:
<IF {SWITCH_CART}>
<?php if ($_REQUEST['eventdate']) echo '
<input type="hidden" name="cartoption1label" value="Reservation" >
<input type="hidden" name="cartoption1" value="'.$_REQUEST['eventdate'].'" >';
?>
<a id="cartadd{LINKID}" class="addtocart" onclick="addtocart({LINKID}, {THISMEMBERID})"><img src="{IMAGESURL}/cart.png" > Add To Cart</a>
<br >
</IF>
<?php if ($_REQUEST['eventdate']) echo '
<input type="hidden" name="cartoption1label" value="Reservation" >
<input type="hidden" name="cartoption1" value="'.$_REQUEST['eventdate'].'" >';
?>
<a id="cartadd{LINKID}" class="addtocart" onclick="addtocart({LINKID}, {THISMEMBERID})"><img src="{IMAGESURL}/cart.png" > Add To Cart</a>
<br >
</IF>
That code will record the date which they've reserved it for in the purchase details, and the quantity available on that date will automatically be reduced by one after the purchase processes.
