Bootstrap datepicker display month & year menus

Question

In Bootstrap datepicker, I would like to have the Month & year menus as in jquery Ui datepicker

But in Bootstrap date picker, there is no month & year menus and we have to click the month to change the year.

Is it possible to display both Month and Year Menus in the Bootstrap date picker?

Answer 1

var datePick=$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({
    changeMonth: true,
    changeYear: true
});
datePick.click(function (event) {
    event.stopPropagation();
});

Try this

I think dhtmlxCalender would be a far far better option for you in this case.

An example code for you-

var myCalendar = new dhtmlXCalendarObject(["calendar","calendar2","calendar3"]);

#calendar,#calendar2,#calendar3
{
    border: 1px solid #909090;
    font-family: Tahoma;
    font-size: 12px;
}

<script src="http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/codebase/dhtmlx.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/codebase/dhtmlx.css"/>

<div style="position:relative;height:280px;">
   <input type="text" id="calendar">
   <input type="text" id="calendar2">
   <input type="text" id="calendar3">
</div>

A Codepen.IO example is given here by me.

Output will be like this-

Moreover every part of this date picker is easily customizable (CSS).

Another Way is using Bootstrap Datepicker-

$(document).ready(function ()
{
	$('#example1').datepicker({
		format: "dd/mm/yyyy"
	});  

});

		<div class="container">
			<input  type="text" placeholder="click to show datepicker"  id="example1">
		</div>

Here is a link that you might have the same issue: Bartosz Kopiński DatePicker

$('.date').datepicker({
  "format": "yyyy-mm",
  'startView': 1
}).on('changeMonth', function(e) {
   var dp = $(e.currentTarget).data('datepicker');
   dp.date = e.date;
   dp.setValue();
   dp.hide();
});

$('.yearpicker').datepicker({
 "format": "yyyy",
 'startView': 2
}).on('changeYear', function(e) {
  var dp = $(e.currentTarget).data('datepicker');
  dp.date = e.date;
  dp.setValue();
  dp.hide();
});
