Cut-off time two days later

Question

In Datepicker i am trying to restrict selectable dates to sundays, and only if picked before 15:00 on the thursday. What am i doing wrong?, restricting to only sundays works, and cutoff time 15:00 works but the day before not two days before.

$( "#deliverysunday" ).datepicker({
        dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
        showWeek: true,
        firstDay: 1,
        beforeShowDay: function(date){ return [date.getDay() == 0,""]},
        minDate: new Date().getHours() >= 15 ? 2 : 0
    });

If I understand your problem correctly, you want to ensure that the earliest possible date to be picked is the first Sunday that occurs no later than Thursday at 15:00.

The minDate option is going to control which date is the earliest selectable date; the logic to determine the cutoff time should go in your beforeShowDay option:

 $( "#deliverysunday" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd", showWeek: true, firstDay: 1, beforeShowDay: function(date) { return [isDateSelectable(date)]; }, minDate: 2 }); /** * Given a date, returns a boolean to indicate * whether the date should be selectable in a picker. * Tests the date according to the rules: * * - Is the date a Sunday? * - Is it currently before the cutoff time? */ function isDateSelectable(date) { // Cutoff interval = Sun@00:00 - Thu@15:00 = 57 hours var intervalInMillis = 57 * 60 * 60 * 1000; var now = new Date(); var isPriorToInterval = now.getTime() < date.getTime() - intervalInMillis; // Is date a Sunday? var isSunday = date.getDay() === 0; return isSunday && isPriorToInterval; }
