如何设置日期选择器以仅显示特定日期之后的日期

Question

Question is I have a two date pickers one is for leave_start and the other is for leave_end. If someone chooses "YES" for future text_field I would like the datepicker's to then only show dates after the persons anniversary date. the one problem I might run into is the the employees anniversary date will be when they where hired so I'm not sure how I could use just the month and day of there anniversary date to only show dates for this year after their anniversary date..

So for example my name is Joe Smith and I choose a future request as "YES" and my anniversary date is 02/14/12. I want my leave_start leave_end datepickers to only show dates after 2/14 for this year. Is this possible to do? any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Basically I just don't want people picking a future request and being able to pick days before their anniversary date.

Let me know if anyone will need more information this is what I have so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Here are my datepickers in my entry.js.coffee

jQuery ->

 $('#leave_start').datepicker({minDate: 0, beforeShowDay: $.datepicker.noWeekends });


 $('#leave_end').datepicker({minDate: 0, beforeShowDay: $.datepicker.noWeekends });

Here is my view

=simple_form_for @entry, :url => url_for(:controller => 'entry', :action 


%td.lt= f.error :range_days, :class => 'er'


%table.table.table-bordered.table-striped{:style => 'table-layout:fixed; width:100% !important;'}
  %th.lt Indirect Code:
  %td.lt= f.input_field :indirect_id, :as => :select, :id => 'indirect_id', :label => false, :collection => ['PD', 'VAC', 'ABS'], :hint => "If you choose ABS(this is considered an unpaid absence)"
  %td.lt= f.text_field :sick_day, :id => 'sick_day', :label => "This is for if you feel the need to comment on your unpaid request", :placeholder => 'Optional Comment', :input_html => {:value => ''}
  %td.lt= f.error :indirect_id, :class => 'er'

%table.table.table-bordered.table-striped{:style => 'table-layout:fixed; width:100% !important;'}
  %th.lt Will This Request be after your anniversary date?:
  %td.lt= f.input_field :future, :as => :select, :id => 'future', :label => false, :collection => ["YES", "NO"]
  %td.lt= f.error :future, :class => 'er'

%table.table.table-bordered.table-striped{:style => 'table-layout:fixed; width:100% !important;'}
  %th.lt Leave Start:
  %td.lt= f.text_field :leave_start,  :label => false, :id => 'leave_start', :input_html => {:value => ''}
  %td.lt= f.error :leave_start, :class => 'er'

%table.table.table-bordered.table-striped{:style => 'table-layout:fixed; width:100% !important;'}
  %th.lt Leave End:
  %td.lt= f.text_field :leave_end,  :label => false, :id => 'leave_end', :input_html => {:value => ''}
  %td.lt= f.error :leave_end, :class => 'er'


%td.lt= f.text_field :range_days, :label => false, :id => 'range_days', :input_html => {:value => ''}
%td.lt= f.text_field :full_range, :label => false, :id => 'gdates', :input_html => {:value => ''}


%table.table.table-bordered.table-striped{:style => 'table-layout:fixed; width:100% !important;'}
= f.button :submit, "Submit", :class => 'customSub'

Here is my model for the person's anniversary date

class Empcomp < ActiveRecord::Base

  establish_connection :vdev

  self.table_name = 'empcomp'

  belongs_to :entry

end

And this is my entry controller for new and create

  def new
    @entry = Entry.new
    @empaccrl = Empaccrl.where("person_id = ? and is_active = 'Y'", current_user.person_id)
    @empcomp = Empcomp.where("person_id = ?", current_user.person_id)
    respond_to do |format|

      format.html# new.html.haml
      format.xml { render :xml => @entry }
    end
  end


  def create
    params.permit!
    @entry = Entry.new(params[:entry])
    @entry.t_d
    @entry.day_hours
    @entry.current_user = current_user
    @empaccrl = Empaccrl.where("person_id = ? and is_active = 'Y'", current_user.person_id)
    @empcomp = Empcomp.where("person_id = ?", current_user.person_id)
    # send my email
    respond_to do |format|

      if @entry.save
        if current_user.email.nil?
          format.html { redirect_to(entry_path( @entry ), :notice => 'Entry successfully created, but you will not recieve any notifications, because you email is blank!') }
          format.xml { render :xml => @entry, :status => :created, :location => @entry }
        else
          EntryMailer.submit_for_approval(@entry).deliver
          format.html { redirect_to(entry_path( @entry ), :notice => 'Entry successfully created.') }
          format.xml { render :xml => @entry, :status => :created, :location => @entry }
        end
      else
        format.html { render :action => "new" }
        format.xml  { render :xml => @entry.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end

Something like this is how I would like it to work but i cant get the anniversary date from my model. this date will be different so I cant set it as a static date

$(document).ready(function(){
 $('#future').click(function() {
    var selected = $(this).val();
    if (selected == 'YES') {
     $('#leave_start').datepicker({minDate: '#anviersary_date', beforeShowDay: $.datepicker.noWeekends });
    } else {
     $('#leave_start').datepicker({minDate: 0, beforeShowDay: $.datepicker.noWeekends });
    }
  });
 });

Answer 1

That's why you have the minDate and maxDate .

On the initializer:

$( ".selector" ).datepicker({
  minDate: new Date(2007, 1 - 1, 1)
});

Setting after initialized:

$( ".selector" ).datepicker( "option", "minDate", new Date(2007, 1 - 1, 1) );

You don't need to post all your code here. Be specific. :)
