I am trying to disable all dates in a datepicker and only enable dates which are in an array. This is the code I have so far http://jsfiddle.net/peter/yXMKC/ the problem is only May 14th shows up as enabled. The others are all disabled. Any ideas?
var availableDates = ["9-5-2011","14-5-2011","15-5-2011"];
function available(date) {
dmy = date.getDate() + "-" + (date.getMonth()+1) + "-" + date.getFullYear();
if ($.inArray(dmy, availableDates) == 1) {
return [true, "","Available"];
} else {
return [false,"","unAvailable"];
}
}
$('#date').datepicker({ beforeShowDay: available });
To achieve this function, you can use beforeShowDay in the datepicker to do it.
Define beforeShowDay within datepicker() method. In the function create a new date format according to the defined format (dd-mm-yyyy) in an Array. Check for the date in the Array with $. inArray() method if it is available then return [true, "highlight", tooltip_text]; otherwise return [true] .
You can restrict the users from selecting a date within the particular range by specifying MinDate and MaxDate properties. The default value of MinDate property is 1/1/1920 and MaxDate property is 12/31/2120 . Dates that appears outside the minimum and maximum date range will be disabled (blackout).
$.inArray(dmy, availableDates) returns the index of the element, so when you compare with 1 only 14-5-2011 will match. Check for not equal to -1. Should work.
Fiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/yXMKC/4/
var availableDates = ["9-5-2011","14-5-2011","15-5-2011"];
function available(date) {
dmy = date.getDate() + "-" + (date.getMonth()+1) + "-" + date.getFullYear();
console.log(dmy+' : '+($.inArray(dmy, availableDates)));
if ($.inArray(dmy, availableDates) != -1) {
return [true, "","Available"];
} else {
return [false,"","unAvailable"];
}
}
