Hello, from the faq: which does not work for me...
1.)For example, this will set the start date to today.

data-start_date=<?php echo date("d-m-Y"); ?>

Where to put this code? Edit element settings(datepicker)->Advanced->Start Date if i put this code exactly like in the faq:
i look into firebug i see:
data-start_date="data-start_date=<?php echo date("d-m-Y"); ?>"

if i only put <?php echo date("d-m-Y"); ?>
it becomes data-start_date=<?php echo date("d-m-Y"); ?>

why doesnt it get a Date and stay code?
------------------------------------------------
And to have this set on page load you need to use this code in a "Load JS" action:
2.)a custom load js before form render, onload

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
$("#field_id").data("start_date", '<?php echo date("d-m-Y"); ?>');
});

firebug there is the date of today there instead of php <?php echo date("d-m-Y"); ?>
...seems to work, but no date in the datepickerfield prepopulated...

Hello Bob, thanks for clearify the extra params
i tested now the jquery code doesnt set the date into the formfield(nor sets a default variable if i submit there is 1970-...)
but in the jquery the date is ok.

so i dont know the exact purpose of setting the date with jquery or the extra params..(shouldnt it populate the input fields?)

to set a onload date into the fields of the 2 datepicker i did like the other guy in the forum:

<?php
if ( !isset($form->data['Anreise']) || !$form->data['Anreise'] ) {
$form->data['Anreise'] =date("d-m-Y");
}
$d = new DateTime('tomorrow');

if ( !isset($form->data['Abreise']) || !$form->data['Abreise'] ) {
$form->data['Abreise'] =$d->format("d-m-Y");
}
?>

Oh sorry i understand now the settings:

its the possibility of selection of the earliest date in the calender datepicker1=nothing before today,datepicker2=nothing before tomorrow selectable

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
$("#datepicker1").data("start_date", '<?php echo date("d-m-Y"); ?>');
$("#datepicker2").data("start_date", ' <?php $d = new DateTime('tomorrow'); echo $d->format("d-m-Y"); ?>')
});

				

<?php 
if ( !isset($form->data['datepicker1']) || !$form->data['datepicker1'] ) {$form->data['datepicker1'] =date("d-m-Y");}

$d = new DateTime('tomorrow');
if ( !isset($form->data['datepicker2']) || !$form->data['datepicker2'] ) {$form->data['datepicker2'] =$d->format("d-m-Y");}
?>

then there is preloaded fields before selection

Hi mdma,

Not tested but that code looks correct. Is it not working?

Bob
