Info

Note: The following guide is only needed for legacy PDPs as the Cloud UI PDP will automatically default to the first available date as of Cloud UI version 1.7. Note that the defaulting to the first available date for the pricing calendar for Cloud UI will be available in Cloud UI version 2.0.

Overview

Aspenware commerce has the ability to link to a specific date on the product detail page, but unfortunately not on the calendar page without the following workaround. The setting that controls which month is defaulted in the calendar view is a store-wide setting called seasonsettings.startdate, but unfortunately, if you set this season start date to November, you will block guest from being able to buy summer products, because it is essentially setting the earliest available purchase date. Until this is better supported in the product, there are a couple of workarounds available, depending on whether the specific product uses a calendar view or not. 

1. Product NOT Configured with a Pricing Calendar View

  • Follow this article here for how to link to the first date of the season on the product detail page.

2. Product Configured with a Pricing Calendar View

  • From the Edit product details page go to the Specification attributes tab if any of the following apply:

    • Attribute Type: Custom Text

    • Attribute: Choose 'Product Cutoff Days [Cutoff Days]' from the list. 

Info

NOTE: Product Cutoff Days [Cutoff Days] [Hidden] must be first set up as a specification attribute under Catalog > Attributes > Specification attributes if it does not exist already.

...

  • Allow Filtering: Leave unselected

  • Show on product page: Select this

  • Select Add attribute  

Info

NOTE: To remove or edit the cutoff days, go to the Specifications attributes tab and edit/remove the Product Cutoff Days [Cutoff Days] Attribute.
