Setting selectable ranges in date element

[JennaMar]

Hello,
i want to set the calendar to make only specific dates selectable. Have tried to change the examples but cannot get it to work.

Think it has to start like this, but no clue how to go on.

var startDate = new Date('2016-04-18');
var endDate = new Date('2016-04-29');

Hope you can help me. Thanks in advance

Maybe my title causes problems.
I want every single day between startDate and endDate to be selectable, so no range.

Yup, i tried whole day can't make it work for an array

 

[JennaMar]

shouldn't it work with a php snippet, like this?
$data->dateAllow('2016-04-18', '2016-04-29');



var allowedDates = ['2016, April 18','2016, April 29'];
var result = true;
date = new Date(date);
if (typeOf(allowedDates) !== 'null') {
for (i = 0; i < allowedDates.length; i++) {
var td = new Date(allowedDates);
if (date.getUTCFullYear() == td.getUTCFullYear() && date.getUTCMonth() == td.getUTCMonth() && date.getUTCDate() == td.getUTCDate()) {
// A date has been found.
result = false;
}
}
}


this is what works for me
now i want only april to be shown.
any idea?

var startDate = new Date('2016-04-18');
var endDate = new Date('2016-04-29');
var thisDate - new Date(date);
var result = startDate <= thisDate && thisDate <= endDate;

-- hugh

oh yes, thanks a lot. think my code makes loading lot slower.

calendar is not loading anymore

ok there was a - not a =
now the range which should be selectable is disabled
will result=false fixe something here?

WIKI says

Set a variable called 'result' to true to stop/prevent this date from being selected.
Set a variable called 'result' to false to allow this date to be selected

So yes, I think the logic should be the other way. Just try.

 

[cheesegrits]

var startDate = new Date('2016-04-18');
var endDate = new Date('2016-04-29');
var thisDate = new Date(date);
var result = thisDate < startDate || thisDate > endDate;

-- hugh

 

[JennaMar]

yes, that's genious.
thank you so much. i just switched back to the old code, it doesn't do it anymore. so strange
a last question: the last date isn't available, can i add a +1 or do i have give time 23:59:59 or 00:00:01?
if you don't have the time, doesn't matter, can change endDate easily
Once again a great cheers
