I need to customize each month in ui datepicker. This means that for each month will show a different background image. I think to do the next:
<div class="calendar-container CURRENT-MONTS-CLASS"><div id="datepicker"></div></div>
How can I get current month name and add it as a class to datepicker's container?
Greatly appreciate any help!
You can use the month number, e.g. .month1 - .month12 or .monthJanuary - .monthDecember (or some other format) for this...personally I'd stick with numbers for other cultures, but you can adapt this answer for both ways. Use the onChangeMonthYear event of the datepicker like this:
$('#datepicker').datepicker({
onChangeMonthYear: function(year, month, inst) {
//Month number (1-12) is month
//Month name you can get by $("#datepicker .ui-datepicker-month").text()
$(this).closest("div.calendar-container")
.removeClass().addClass("calendar-container month" + month);
}
});
And set it initially when the page loads (after creating the datepicker), since I'm using the month number in the above, it would look like this:
$("div.calendar-container").addClass("month" + ($('#datepicker').datepicker("getDate").getMonth()+1));
If you were using names instead, use:
$("div.calendar-container").addClass("month" + $("#datepicker .ui-datepicker-month").text());
Whichever option you go with, just create the 12 classes with the background images/styling you want. You can test it out here. If you wanted the background to actually be on the datepicker itself, not that .calendar-container <div> you'd just add that to the CSS selector to make it more specific, for example:
.month1 .ui-datepicker-inline { background: url(January.jpg); }
You can test out that version here.

I use the jquery datepicker in an Angular Application and I noticed a behavior that I would like to prevent.
The application consists of an input field for the date and a select box for a month selection.
If the months in the select box are changed, the minDate of the jquery date picker should be adjusted.
I tried the following example:
I set the date in the input field to the 24.04.2018
I chose October
The date of the input field is automatically set to 24.10.2018
I do not want the content of the Inputs field to be automatically adjusted.
Here is my git-hub project: https://github.com/annalen/jquery-datepicker
Many thanks for the help
Solution
I use the beforeShow and onClose date-picker functions
jQuery(yourElement).datepicker('option', 'beforeShow', function (date) {
return {
'minDate': yourMinDate,
'maxDate': yourMaxDate
};
});
jQuery(yourElement).datepicker('option', 'onClose', function (date) {
jQuery(this).datepicker('option', {
'minDate': null,
'maxDate': null
});
});
The datepicker updates the date only if the selected one is out of the range.
For example, if the current selected date is 24.04.2018 and you set the minDate to 20.04.2018, nothing will happen.
But if you set it to any date after 24.04.2018, it will get updated. I believe it's normal since its the purpose of setting a minDate.
You can always set yourself manually the input's value: $('#datepicker').val('20.04.2018') but I don't think it's a good idea to have something displayed different than the internal datepicker component state (the calendar that will popup will show a different date than the one in the input)

The jquery datepicker defaultdate will not automatically set to next available date when the graphical calendar is persistent on a page. the initial date the calendar selects can be a date that i have disabled. Many suggestions on workaround work when the calendar is a popup to an input field, but do not work when the calendar is persistently shown as a div. doesn't matter if the dates disabled are by noWeekends, by the day of week, or individually set days, the initial date value can be a disabled and unclickable date. I am using the alternate1 input field (which i normally hide) to pass data onto a PHP page. What i have almost works, but the next available date shows as highlighted when minDate happens to land on an available date, but when minDate lands on an unselectible date, the highlight is hidden. The temporary fix i used of setDate null - clears the initial selection value regardless of the highlight, so a visitor may think the a date is already selected when it is not. My PHP page reports back to the visitor that they have to go back and actually select a date. My use of datepicker is geared toward mobile, so popup or flyout calendar to make use of well known workarounds is unfavorable, the calendar GUI needs to be persistent on the page. To recreate my issue for yourself, on the jsfiddle, comment out the last javascript line, disallow a date mid-week in the var selections, and then set the minDate so that it will land on the disallowed date. you'll notice the alternate1 input gets prefilled with the disallowed date.
html code:
<div id="dp1"></div>
<input type="text" id="alternate1" name="alternate1"/> <!-- style="display:none;" this is the field that passes on to php -->
javascript code:
var selections = [
"2017-07-29",
"2017-07-30",
"2017-08-05",
"2017-08-06",
"2017-08-12",
"2017-08-13",
"2017-08-19",
"2017-08-20",
"2017-08-26",
"2017-08-27",
"2017-09-02",
"2017-09-03",
"2017-09-04",
"2017-09-09",
"2017-09-10",
"2017-09-16",
"2017-09-17",
"2017-09-23",
"2017-09-24",
"2017-09-30",
"2017-10-01",
"2017-10-07",
"2017-10-08",
"2017-10-09",
"2017-10-14",
]
function bansingle(date) {
var excerpt = jQuery.datepicker.formatDate('yy-mm-dd', date);
return [ selections.indexOf(excerpt) == -1 ]
}
// somehow combine this function later.
//function bandow(date) {
// var day = date.getDay();
// return [(day != 0 && day != 6)];
// }
$('#dp1').datepicker({
beforeShowDay: bansingle,
altField:'#alternate1',
altFormat: 'm-d-yy',
fielddateFormat: 'm-d-yy',
minDate: "+0d",
//maxDate: "+1m", // set latest selectable date
});
$('#dp1').datepicker("setDate", null); //clears alternate1 input field value
Here is the jsfiddle it does contain more dates and a little CSS. I recommend opening it in a new tab, to be able to return to this page after editing code.
the progress of my other question here has negated the need for an answer to this question. pursuing multiple changes to input, styling, and options - will workaround this question's problem.
I'm loading a selection of dates into bootstrap datepicker for the user to view. Currently they can click on a highlighted date but it clears all the dates that are preloaded.
I don't want them to be able to click on any dates, just view the different month pages of dates. How can I do this?
this is how I setup datepicker and load the dates;
$('.datepickera').datepicker({
format: 'yyyy/mm/dd',
multidate: false
});
$.extend($.datepicker,{_checkOffset:function(inst,offset,isFixed){return offset}});
$(".datepickera").data("datepicker").setDates($('#mydates').data('dates'));
If I understand you correctly you can make the datepicker unselectable by using the daysOfWeekDisable property like this:
$('.datepicker').datepicker({
daysOfWeekDisabled: [0,1,2,3,4,5,6]
});
0 is Sunday and 6 is Saturday. This way a user cannot select any day but can view the entire calendar. You can read more about it here. Hope that helps.
I am using Angular UI Bootstrap dirrective for Datepicker. I have list of dates, that I set in calendar as active (i.e. other dates are disabled).
Here is my date list - ["10/16/2015", "11/20/2015", "12/18/2015"]
UI Datepicker always open current date/month. How can I make, so calendar would open on specific date, even if this date is from previous year?
I found option defaultViewDate option, but it seems that it doesn't work (at least I didn't find this method in tpl library)
Any ideas how I can make that?
Thanks!
Given Angular UI's documentation on its datepicker, the calendar adapts to a date set on the ng-model, so all you'd have to do is create a date:
new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds);
See w3schools for more on that.
Set the model to that and you should be good to go. Let us know if it works.
EDIT:
To set the initial date when no date is specified, use init-date by creating a default date on the scope of the parent controller.
angular.module("yourModule").controller("parentCtrl", function($scope) {
$scope.initialDate = new Date(2000, 5, 4);
}
And the HTML:
<div ng-controller="parentCtrl">
<datepicker init-date="initialDate"></datepicker>
</div>
Hope it helps.
I have a jQuery datepicker and I cannot figure out how to programmatically change the month back to the current month. After making a POST request to save the user's dates I need to return the calendar back to the current month. The calendar may be on a different month from the user playing around with different dates. I have tried setting the mindate again but that did not work.
This is not a popup calendar.
Setting the datepicker back to today
$('#myDatePicker').datepicker('setDate', new Date());
setting just the month back
var date = $('#myDatePicker').datepicker('getDate');
date.setMonth( (new Date()).getMonth() );
$('#myDatePicker').datepicker('setDate', date);
FIDDLE
You can also use .val() to set the date
$("#datepicker").val(date);
