Magento Display Dropdown For Quntity Box

In the addtocart.phtml file find the following code(line 33)

<input name="qty" type="text" class="input-text qty" id="qty" maxlength="12" value="<?php echo $this->getMinimalQty($_product) ?>" />

Replace with this code: 
This code shows the “Available Qty for Product”.

<select class="input-text qty" name="qty" id="qty">
  <?php $i = 1 ?>
  <?php do { ?>
    <option value="<?php echo $i?>">
      <?php echo $i?>
      <?php $i++ ?>
    </option>
<?php } while ($i <= (int)Mage::getModel('cataloginventory/stock_item')->loadByProduct($_product)->getQty()) ?></select>

This code shows the “Maximum Qty Allowed in Shopping Cart”.

<select class="input-text qty" name="qty" id="qty">
    <?php $i = 1 ?>
    <?php do { ?>
        <option value="<?php echo $i ?>">
            <?php echo $i ?>
            <?php $i++ ?>
        </option>
    <?php } while ($i <= (int) Mage::getModel('cataloginventory/stock_item')->loadByProduct($_product)->getMaxSaleQty()) ?>
</select>


Magento Add Date Filed In Admin Form

Step-1 Add the following code in app/code/local/YourNamespace/YourModule/Block/Adminhtml/Yourmodule/Edit/Tab/Form.php

$fieldset->addField('purchase_date', 'date', array(
    'label'     => Mage::helper('subscription')->__('Purchase Date'),                  
    'name'      => 'purchase_date',
    'image'     => $this->getSkinUrl('images/grid-cal.gif'),
    'format'    => Mage::app()->getLocale()->getDateFormat(Mage_Core_Model_Locale::FORMAT_TYPE_SHORT)
));

Step-2 Now the date field with a datepicker is displayed in your admin form. To save the value into database, you need to add a line of code in saveAction() function of app/code/local/YourNamespace/YourModule/controllers/YourModuleController.php

if ($data = $this->getRequest()->getPost()) {

$data = $this->_filterDates($data, array('purchase_date', 'expiry_date'));

$model = Mage::getModel('subscription/subscription');     
$model->setData($data)
      ->setId($this->getRequest()->getParam('id'));

Hope it helps. Thanks.
