Datepicker, max date of TODAY and go back 100 years FROM tod

Topic: Datepicker, max date of TODAY and go back 100 years FROM today

luthersites pro asked 4 years ago

Expected behavior That setting "max: true" would make today the highest day (whether there's already a date in the field or not) That setting "selectYears: 100" would offer 100 years previous to today

Actual behavior "max: true" sets the day as whatever date is in the field already as the last day, and then creates dates 100 years before that, and I end up not having all sorts of years.

Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.) I'm trying to create a "select your date of birth" field, which needs more than the default 20 years, doesn't need a date greater than today, and, should there already be a date in the field or just zeros, will use today as the standard for counting back 100 years. Either I am using the javascript wrongly, or it doesn't seem to be doing this basic function. I do wish that the default function, .pickdate() without any options, was set to list years of more than 20. Some of us are older than 20 :-)

Please insert min. 20 characters.

Actually, what I'm using is

                     format: 'mmm dd, yyyy',
                     selectMonths: true,
                     selectYears: 100,
                     max: true,
                     formatSubmit: 'yyyy-mm-dd',
                     closeOnSelect: false

There's a "date" in the field, from the database, that is 0000-00-00. So the latest year I see is 1889. If I set the date to dec 31, 1889, close the datepicker, than reopen, it then allows me to go to 1949. Also, the formatSubmit isn't formatting the date for mySql. Not a huge deal, but when I save the field (ajax), it submits it as mmm dd, yyyy. This I can fix server-side, but isn't formatSubmit supposed to do that?

You could use the pre-fill value option using 'data-value="[2015,6,1]"'. It seems to works well. It seems that it could be an little issue with formatSubmit so I'll create the task to check it. Thank you very much for report it.

Best,

Hi @luthersites,

Try to use this code:

$('.datepicker').pickadate({
format: 'dd/mm/yyyy',
selectMonths: true,
selectYears: 100,
max: true
});

Best,
