bootstrap-datepicker set date before 1970

Question

I use bootstrap-datepicker in a Django website. Users have to choice their birth date with the widget.

The issue is that user can't choose a date before the January 1st 1970. Do you know any way to select date before 1970 ?

Answer 1

In your DatePicker javascript, you should have a section like this:

$('.datePickerClass').datepicker({
    weekStart: 1,
    startDate: '01/01/1960',
    endDate: '01/01/2099', 
    autoclose: true
});

The startDate property will specify the earliest date which can be picked (ie in this case 01/01/1960), with the same going for endDate.
