I know this isn’t possible yet after searching.
I just want to add that this feature would be a good addition that I would really like to see implemented.

Hi Matt,

Are you referring to the front end date-picker question or within the admin?

The front end can be changed using:

The admin, using the function shown here:

You’ll obviously need to change the date format to whichever you prefer from those examples, I set EE to use ‘d-m-Y’ within the admin, this is the result – http://take.ms/i3J3h

Is that what you are looking for?

I mean in the front end, for customers booking events.
I tried changing the .php as you have shown, but although the date-picker is then in the correct format, you loose the ability to change the year quickly.

You can only scroll between months, so going back from 2015 to 1980 for example takes ages!

Hi Matt,

You can add a month/year selector to the datepicker by adding this line of JavaScript code:

changeYear: true,

The gist that Tony showed you earlier has been updated to include this addition:

That worked – but only shows 2004 to 2024 dates and isn’t scrollable outside of that.

Matt,

Would you like to set a year range with that?


Matt

It is for a date of birth, so I need around 1930 to 2010

You can set a year range by adding this to the line after you set the changeYear:

yearRange: "1930:2010",
