Data Bridge - Forms - Datepicker

Data Bridge - Forms - Datepicker

Dear Support, How, I want to create a datepicker so people cam enter their birth dates. Currently the calendar I select in CSS Form Builder presents me with a calendar where the years goes back to 2002 and forward to 2022 - a range of twenty years. How I do I increase the range - I want the years to go back to say 1900 and I also want to prevent future dates being picked - no need for future dates for birthdays.

you would need to edit the date picker code on your page and add maxDate and minDate settings.

see the following page for details:
#option-maxDate

Jason, Do you mean edit by hand code the Datepicker Widget page - or is there something in Web Assist?

the minDate and maxDate settings need to be added by hand.

Okay Jason - you need to be clearer - where is all this code to be found. I've looked in all the pages and can't find it. I've done this kind of stuff in Dreamweaver, with widgets I downloaded and in my opinion it's easier to format - see attached code from a widget I downloaded. WebAssist is supposed to make this kind of stuff easier - or so I thought. Here with WebAssist we have a calendar widget and I can't find the code to make the adjustments - Why present a calendar in a default state that covers only 20 years without explaining adequately how to change it?

this page is not using the webassist date picker.

the page you sent is using another companies date picker:
calendar_datepicker.php


you will need to refer to their documentation for setting the minimum and maximum dates.

the webassist datepicker uses jquery

Jason, that was just a sample of another datepicker i decided to send you, showing you how easy it was to adjust the code on that particular one.

What I need is the name of the page where the the Data Bridge dickpicker code is located so I can adjust the dates. What I'm finding is that the learning curve is quite steep with the WebAssist products. They're great when you know how to use them and you understand them, but it seems to take a while to learn

the date picker is based pon jquery.

when you add a datepicker to the page, it will add a code block siomilar to this one:

php:
$(function(){

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




this code block allows you to specify date picker options.

you can add the max and minDate options, for example:

php:
$(function(){

    $('#datepicker_1').datepicker({
        dateFormat: 'mm/dd/yy',
        changeYear: true,
        maxDate: 0,
        minDate: new Date(1950, 1 - 1, 1),
        showAnim: 'show',
        onClose: closeDatePicker_datepicker_1
    });
});




for a listing of other options that can be added see the jquery documentation:
datepicker/

Ok, I have done what you said, and I've managed to to prevent future dates from being selected. However, I entered in 1950, as the min date, but it has no effect on the calendar - see attached.

Just for the hell of it, I changed the MaxDate from 0 to 2014, and when I loaded the page, the future dates went up to 2018- not 2014 as expected.

Am I not getting something?
