At the backend of my opencart e-commerce package, there is the possibility to insert vouchers for customers. However, there is standard no possibility to set a start and end date (1 year later) for the voucher. Therefore I have adapted the voucher.tpl template to include this possibility. I have implemented this completely identical as for the coupon.tpl where there is the possibility to enter a start date and end date.
The input field for the start date and end date is using the datetimepicker script. The datepicker is showing up correctly when I click the calendar button (see image 1) and the date is showing up.
The dates are used in a form, but unfortunately the data seem not be transferred with the form when the save button is clicked. I see no difference with the coupon.tpl page where everything is working properly. I spent already many hours in founding the error but did not succeed yet. Could somebody help me on my way? Thanks, SabKo
The voucher.tpl has the following code:
<div id="content">

The controller page has the following code, so should be able to read the input of the dates:
if (isset($this->request->post['date_start'])) {
$data['date_start'] = $this->request->post['date_start'];
} elseif (!empty($voucher_info)) {
$data['date_start'] = ($voucher_info['date_start'] != '0000-00-00' ? $voucher_info['date_start'] : '');
} else {
$data['date_start'] = date('Y-m-d', time());
}
if (isset($this->request->post['date_end'])) {
$data['date_end'] = $this->request->post['date_end'];
} elseif (!empty($voucher_info)) {
$data['date_end'] = ($voucher_info['date_end'] != '0000-00-00' ? $voucher_info['date_end'] : '');
} else {
$data['date_end'] = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+1 month'));
}
