How to disable the past dates of my calendar??

Hi,

I'm using ChronoForm 1.3/ V3.1 RC5.2, and I need to disable the past dates of my calendar. I'm using this form for a reservation site so it should active only present date and future dates. How can I do it? And past dates should be disable to select too.

Hi laki,

You can use the direction option in the DatePicker Options box on the form general tab. if you use

{ direction: 1 }

the calendar will only accept future dates. See more here

</div>
<div class="cfclear"> </div>
</div>

I think some thing wrong in here. Could you please help me with this

Hi Bob,
Any solution for this??????

If there's no solution I might go for latest Chronoform. And please tel me how to show calendar icon in Chronoforms_V4_RC3.11_J1.6 component?????

Hi laki,

Form the code you posted there you aren't using the ChronoForms datepicker so it's not surprising that the ChronoForms code doesn't work with it. You'll need to check what calendar you are using and see what the documents say.

The ChronoForms v4 calendar doesn't display an icon.

Hi Bob,

Ya that's correct from my code its so difficult to do what I want. I have try latest ChronoForms and I hope there's no option to display the calendar icon, So how can I show the calendar icon next to the text lable. And please let me know will it display in IE??????

Hi Laki,

I'm sorry, I no longer understand what your question is.

Bob

ok it simple how can I display the calendar icon in date picker? Will it be display in IE browser? Currently calender is not working in IE browser

Hi laki,

The ChronoForms v3 calendar displays an icon and will work in IE unless there is some other problem.

The ChronoForms v4 calendar does not display an icon.

Bob

Hi Bob,

Another question with ChronoForms 4.0 RC3.11. Where Should I place "direction: 1"? is it "DateTime Picker config" text box????????

Hi laki,

The ChronoForms v4 calendar is different and does not use the direction option. It does have a minDate option which is similar. Please see this thread.

Bob

Hey Bob,

Im little bit confuse with ChronoForms 4.0 RC3.11, please let me where should I put 'direction: 1'. please check the attachment, is that the correct place? if not please let me know.

thx

sorry bob I just saw your reply. forget about the previous post.

Thx Bob, this works perfectly.

Hi Bob,

I have another small question, I'm using ChronoForms for a hotel reservation website and now I want to disable past dates of check out date, Ex. If check in date is 05 Sep 2012 Check out date should be future date. Users are not allow to select back date from the check in date. Hope you got my point. Please let me know how to do this???????

Thank you.

Laki

Hi Bob,

Any solutions for above issue????????

Hi laki,

If you have V4 RC3.21 then you can check Bob's code here: http://chronoengine.com/forums.html?cont=posts&p=106431#p106431

You must enable the "Mootools datepicker" setting under the "Edit" screen though.

You may also do it using PHP code, which should work with both date pickers, I have already posted this before here, just search the forums for "minDate", you will need a "Custom datepicker" action for this.
