Bootstrap Datepicker With Daterange Not Saving Value as the Specified Format

I have a booking form that requires two dates, so I'm using the built in option that Bootstrap datepicker has (it consists on calling the datepicker function on the father element that contains the inputs), to show the daterange selected, this is my HTML:
<div class="grupo vip-fechas input-daterange">
<div class="barra verde"> <span>¿Cuándo llegas?</span></div>
<input type="text" class="input calendario" id="entrada_input" name="entrada_input" placeholder="Selecciona una fecha">
<input type="hidden" id="fecha_inicio" name="fecha_inicio">
<div class="barra verde"> <span>¿Cuándo te vas?</span></div>
<input type="text" class="input calendario" id="salida_input" name="salida_input" placeholder="Selecciona una fecha">
<input type="hidden" id="fecha_fin" name="fecha_fin">
</div>
This is my Javascript code:
$(document).ready(function(){
iniciarFechas();
});
function iniciarFechas(){
var date = new Date();
var today = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), date.getDate());
var date_hidden;
$('.vip-fechas.input-daterange').datepicker({
weekStart: 1,
maxViewMode: 1,
language: "es",
startDate: today,
disableTouchKeyboard: true,
format: {
toDisplay: function(date, format, language) {
var fecha = moment(date).add(1,"day");
date_hidden = fecha;
return fecha.format("dddd DD [de] MMMM, YYYY");
},
toValue: function(date, format, language) {
var fecha = moment(date).add(1,"day");
return moment(fecha).format("DD/MM/YY");
//return moment(date, ["DD.MM.YYYY", "DDMMYYYY"]).toDate();
}
},
}).on("changeDate", function(e){
var fecha_formateada = moment(date_hidden).format("DD/MM/YY");
$(this).next().val(fecha_formateada);
});
}
The daterange works correctly but I want to store the formatted date inside the hidden inputs, as you can see, the format that I want is this: ...format("DD/MM/YY"); but what I get is the display format: format("dddd DD [de] MMMM, YYYY"), also I noticed that $(this) value within this line: $(this).next().val(fecha_formateada); refers to the container div, and not the input that has changed value, so how can I save the date as I want inside the hidden inputs?

I'm not sure what your problem is but by looking at your code I can only guess that you might be in the middle of a race condition.
You're setting the date_hidden variable in Datepicker.toDisplay and then reading from it in the changeDate custom event.
Put a debugger or a console log in both callbacks to make sure you're not in the middle of a race condition.
As for setting the formatted value in the input fields, well I can see in your HTML code that you have selectors that you can use, like the hidden field's ID for example.
Another thing I'd suggest is, instead of setting and reading the date_hidden field in those different callbacks, just call $('#elementID').datepicker('getDate') in the changeDate event handler and do all the transformations you need there, then extract that code and put it in a separate function.

Bootstrap datetimepicker get time

I am using Bootstrap datetimepicker in a form insider my Meteor.JS app in order to have two time picker elements. Below is the code I have so far which detect the onChange event for each of the two time picker elements in my form but I can't figure out how to get the selected time? So can someone please tell me how to do so? Thanks
$('.set-start-time').datetimepicker({
pickDate: false
});
$('.set-end-time').datetimepicker({
pickDate: false
});
$('.set-end-time').on("dp.change",function (e) {
var now = $('.set-start-time').data("DateTimePicker").getDate();
var then = $('.set-end-time').data("DateTimePicker").getDate();
//Above code won't return time...
});

I hope this helps some one.
HTML
<div name="startTime" class="input-group time">
<input class="form-control" type="text" value="" >
<span class="input-group-addon"><i class="fa fa-clock-o"></i></span>
</div>
JS
$('.time').datetimepicker({
format: 'LT'
}).on("dp.change",function(e){
var date = e.date;//e.date is a moment object
var target = $(e.target).attr('name');
console.log(date.format("HH:mm:ss"))//get time by using format
})
e.date is a moment object thus time can derived by using format("HH:mm:ss")

Javascript - loop through datepickers and set date

I don't know Javascript at all. I have a form where there can be any number of datepicker textboxes. When the user selects a date in the first datepicker textbox, then I want all the remaining datepicker textboxes to have that same date.
Does this require a function?
Edit: I tried to create a function, but I don't know javascript at all!
function UpdateValuationDates(event) {
$valuationDatePicker = $(event.target);
var valuationDate = $valuationDatePicker.datepicker("getDate");
if (valuationDate != null) {
//loop through all items
document.getElementById("dateValuationDate").Text
$valuationDatePicker.datepicker("setDate", valuationDate);
$valuationDatePicker.trigger('change');
}
}
So I think this can be ignored. I have also read that there is a datepicker on selected event:
$(".date").datepicker({
onSelect: function(dateText) {
display("Selected date: " + dateText + "; input's current value: " + this.value);
}
});
So I guess I need to edit this code to populate the rest of the textboxes, but how to find out at runtime how many there are?
The HMTL has a repeater with the datepicker repeated x number of times:
<abc:DatePicker runat="server" ID="dateValuationDate"

With the help of html's input type=date and some basic classes' knowledge, you can do that.. Considering you have following Date pickers:
<input type="date" class="dateTime">
<input type="date" class="dateTime">
<input type="date" class="dateTime">
Now you simply need to listen to a change in any one of there values:
$(".dateTime").on("change", function(){
and when the change occurs, get the changed value and set all other date pickers to that new value:
$(".dateTime").val($(this).val());
So it'll be something like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".dateTime").on("change", function(){
$(".dateTime").val($(this).val());
});
});
See the DEMO here
EDIT: Considering you're new to JavaScript, here's how i'm getting the reference to all those elements, through .className, as they all have same class name so for each event (change, update value) they all will be referenced.

Check if date in field is more than x

I would like to have a function that checks if a date in a field is more than 50 years in the past from todays date. If the date is more than 50 years in the past, a message should be shown, but there should not be any minimum date (maximum years).
I have a form where it is possible to add more fields dynamically (name + birthdate), and every new "form" should show this message under the birthday field if it is more than 50 years in the past.
The warning message under each birthdate field should be something like this (if over 50):
<div class="alert alert-warning">This person is over 50 year. Remember to do...</div>
My html setup:
<label for="id_nested-0-name">Name</label>
<input id="id_nested-0-name" maxlength="200" name="nested-0-name" type="text" />
<label for="id_nested-0-birthdate">Birthdate</label>
<input class="dateinput" datadatepicker="datepicker" id="id_nested-0-birthdate" name="nested-0-birthdate" type="date" />
<!-- If nested-0-birthdate is over 50, add html with warning message -->
<!-- New person -->
<label for="id_nested-1-name">Name</label>
<input id="id_nested-1-name" maxlength="200" name="nested-1-name" type="text" />
<label for="id_nested-1-birthdate">Birthdate</label>
<input class="dateinput" datadatepicker="datepicker" id="id_nested-1-birthdate" name="nested-1-birthdate" type="date" />
<!-- If nested-1-birthdate is over 50, add html with warning message -->
Edit:
This code works great in chrome, but does not work in safari. Anyone see what could be wrong?
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$(function(){
$("#collapse1 input.dateinput").on("change.dp change keyup paste click propertychange",function (e){
var timediff1 = moment().diff(moment($(this).val()), 'years');
if (timediff1 >= 50 ) {
$('#alert1').remove();
$('#collapse1 .panel-body').append('<div id="alert1">Over 50!</div>');
} else {
$('#alert1').remove();
}
});
});
});
</script>
Using http://eonasdan.github.io/bootstrap-datetimepicker/ for my date picker.
Edit 2:
I was missing data-format="DD/MM/YYYY" on my input. Now everything works!

If you dont mind using moment.js
JSFiddle with demo
boolean isOldGeezer = moment().diff(moment($(this).val()), 'years') > 50;

Three part answer to this question
First you need to get the date 50 years ago. I am using a small hack here. You can find better techniques in StackOverflow.
ago50y = new Date();
ago50y.setFullYear(ago50y.getUTCFullYear()-50);
Second, compare that date when the input changes. The following code uses jQuery.
$('input.dateinput').change(function (event) {
if ($(event.target).val() < ago50y.toJSON().slice(0,10)) {
$('#alert').text('This person is over 50 year. Remember to do...');
} else {
$('#alert').text('');
}
});
Third, invoke the second part whenever you add a new set of inputs. Put the above code in a function and include that in the callback while adding the new set.

textbox access for datepicker

I'm using a date picker jQuery plugin created by Stefan Petre and available here:
http://www.eyecon.ro/datepicker/#about
This is a code I'm using to apply datepicker to textboxes
$('.tableMstCellECD').DatePicker({
format: 'd/m/Y',
date: $('.tableMstCellECD').val(),
current: $('.tableMstCellECD').val(),
calendars: 3,
onChange: function (formated, dates) {
$('.tableMstCellECD').val(formated);
$('.tableMstCellECD').DatePickerHide();
}
});
It works fine, but obviously updates values of all textboxes instead of selected one. The problem is that there can be different number of texboxes so I cannot hard code access values. I was trying to implement "this" keyword somewhere into this command but did not succeed

I agree with Deepanshu, you should use jQuery UI. If you want to avoid that for some reason, KarelG's solution works just fine, however since you already include jQuery, you can write it like that:
$('.tableMstCellECD').each(function(){
var id = $(this).attr('id');
$(this).DatePicker({
format: 'd/m/Y',
date: $('#' + id).val(),
current: $('#' + id).val(),
calendars: 1,
onChange: function (formated, dates) {
$('#' + id).val(formated);
$('#' + id).DatePickerHide();
}
});
});
You also have to generate unique ID-s for the input elements either on the server or the client side, like this:
<input type="text" id="01" class="tableMstCellECD" />
<input type="text" id="02" class="tableMstCellECD" />
<input type="text" id="03" class="tableMstCellECD" />
<input type="text" id="04" class="tableMstCellECD" />

i also have this problem before. So i wrote an own script (in js) to implement it to textboxes which contains only the class name "datepicker" or something different. To provide support to most browser, i have done it by this way ;
/*
* === javascript file to implement datepicker on form fields for dates
*
* #author : Karel Geiregat
* #version : 1.0.4 - 18 may 2013
*/
// class name which contains input box, chosen for dates
var comparerString = "datepicker";
// get all inputfields, select only those marked with right class name
window.addEventListener('load', function() {
// select all input boxes
var getElements = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
// check count
var count = getElements.length;
// loop through elements
for(var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
// get classname - supported by most major browsers
if (getElements[i].className == comparerString) {
var idField = "#" + getElements[i].id;
$(idField).datepicker({ dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd" });
}
}
});
and in HTML
<input id="form_startDate" class="datepicker" type="text" required="required">
Just write something similar in jQuery. Just add a class name to the textbox which should be tagged with the DatePicker object.
