Change Datepicker

smoke_detector_testing_application.php

Does anyone have any advice on how to change the datepicker so that the user can only select Tuesdays? Thanks

The function you need is beforeShowDay

here is an example which should work for you.

$('#datepicker_1').datepicker({
beforeShowDay: nonWorkingDates,
dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
showAnim: 'show',
onClose: closeDatePicker_datepicker_1
});

function nonWorkingDates(date){
var day = date.getDay(), Sunday = 0, Monday = 1, Tuesday = 2, Wednesday = 3, Thursday = 4, Friday = 5, Saturday = 6;
var closedDays = [[Sunday],[Monday],[Wednesday],[Thursday],[Friday],[Saturday]];
for (var i = 0; i < closedDays.length; i++) {
if (day == closedDays[i][0]) {
return [false];
}
}

return [true];
}

code you need is in red.

For other days to exclude, such as national holidays, take a look at the original thread..

WOW nice one. Thanks. Can I buy you a beer lol Will this site let me know how to omit the previous Tuesday that has gone buy already? Thanks again as it worked great!

actually, yes, (on both q's).

if you google the function name, you will probably find a code snippet to do that for you too
