1818charlie ECT Moderator United Kingdom 1198 Posts	Posted - 02/04/2022 : 04:56:22 In the Adding a Text Input Option help section under Date Picker there is a setting for the includes file to disable certain dates. The help page states You can also disable specific days, which may be holidays for example with this addition to includes.php. Having added that to includes as it is, those dates are still selectable. I have also changed the format of the line in blue to 25-12 to align with the date format in green below but still the disabled date(s) are selectable Any ideas? $ectpopcalendarjs="var ectpopcaldisabled='12-25;1-1;03-30';"; The other line added to includes is this one to use the date, month, year format. $ectcaldateformat="dd/mmm/yyyy"; https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/help/product-options.asp#text Steve Bolton Lancashire Edited by - 1818charlie on 02/07/2022 10:58:37

Maybe try that. Gary

I have just tried your suggestion & still the 'none selectable dates' are selectable. The other options to disable the current date & dates in the past work fine, just this one of selecting certain dates. At the current time I can't see it becoming a big issue on this particular customers site but I can guarantee if it's not working someone will want it working. Steve Bolton Lancashire

Vince Administrator 42874 Posts	Posted - 02/07/2022 : 08:28:58 Hi Steve I had a look in the includes.php file and it seems that there are two instances of the $ectpopcalendarjs parameter... $ectpopcalendarjs="var ectpopcaldisabled='25-12;1-1';"; $GLOBALS['ectpopcalendarjs']="ectpopcalstartmonday=true;"; So the first one is going to be overwritten by the second. Could you merge those and that should hopefully sort this problem out. If it doesn't . . . I'm not in.

1818charlie ECT Moderator United Kingdom 1198 Posts	Posted - 02/07/2022 : 10:57:48 Good evening Vince Thanks for your time with this one. I was relying on Notepad++ via Find feature & choosing to search for $ectpopcalendarjs= which only shown one entry. I wasn't aware of the other GLOBALS one, I am now! This may help anyone else who may want to disable certain dates in the calendar If using the UK/European date format entry in includes.php, $ectcaldateformat="d/mmm/yyyy";, if you also need/want to disable certain dates then those dates MUST be in the US format of mm-dd. Putting the dates as UK/European format has no effect. Steve Bolton Lancashire Edited by - 1818charlie on 02/07/2022 11:00:13

1818charlie ECT Moderator United Kingdom 1198 Posts	Posted - 03/06/2022 : 06:30:08 Well it's been a full month since implementing the calendar date picker & overall it has been a success. Vince, is it possible for the calendar to be set so that choosing a future date is a minimum three days in advance? ----------------------------------- Steve Manchester UK Make it as simple as possible, but not simpler.

How about something like this in the includes.php file... $ectpopcalendarjs="var ectpopcaldisabled='" . date('m-d') . ';' . date('m-d',strtotime("+1 day")) . ';' . date('m-d',strtotime("+2 day")) .
