I’m trying to disable selecting future dates ( any date past today, midnight ) with all the ACF datepicker fields. Here’s the code I’m using:
/**
* Add inline script to modify ACF datepicker settings
*
* @return void
*/
function themeprefix_admin_print_scripts() {
$screen = get_current_screen();
$mod_arr = array( 'post' );
if( ! in_array( $screen->post_type, $mod_arr ) || 'post' !== $screen->base ) {
return;
}
?>
<script>
( function( $ ) {
acf.add_filter( 'date_picker_args', function( args ) {
args['maxDate'] = 0;
return args;
} );
} )( jQuery );
</script>
<?php
}
add_action( 'acf/input/admin_footer', 'themeprefix_admin_print_scripts' );
The above allows the user to select a future date, it’s just that the date doesn’t get saved. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can disable the user from selecting future dates in the datepicker calendar pop up?
I can’t for the life of me get this to work. I’ve been trying methods all over the forums. That is the correct hook I should be using, right? I can get console.log() from the above and below:
( function( $ ) {
$( '#dp1528832081239' ).datepicker( 'option', 'maxDate', 0 );
// $( '.field_5b16a9d5df47c .acf-date_picker input.input' ).datepicker( 'option', 'maxDate', 0 );
} )( jQuery );
Got it, the issue is even though I’m adding an alias for jQuery I still need document ready. Even with dom ready I couldn’t get the acf js filter to work as expected:
jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) {
let $datepicker = $( '#acf-field_5b16a9d5df47c + .hasDatepicker' );
$datepicker.datepicker( 'option', {
maxDate: new Date()
} );
} );
For other users looking for this answer, the current syntax is a bit different:
// Don't allow picking dates in the future
acf.addAction('date_picker_init', function( $input, args, field ){
$input.datepicker('option', 'maxDate', 0);
});
My previous solution has the unwanted effect that it overwrites already set dates that are in the past to the current day.
Correct solution came from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62204645/disable-dates-and-days-of-the-week-in-acf-date-picker
acf.add_filter('date_picker_args', function( args, $field ){
args['minDate'] = '0';
return args;
});
