You're going to need to calculate tomorrow's date and store that. This will probably be code added to your theme's functions.php.</p> <p>If the December 2014 date is always the same you can just save that in an admin-only field. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/limit-the-past-on-date-field#post-73507 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 22:38:12 +0000 goldenimage 73507@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p><a href="http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/#min-max" rel="nofollow">http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/#min-max</a></p> <p>There is a small snippet of JavaScript to add to the pages where the form with the datepicker exists.

Used the following code:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;script&gt; jQuery(function ($) { $(&quot;#input_1_4&quot;).datepicker({ changeMonth: true, changeYear: true, dateFormat: &#39;M/dd/yy&#39;, yearRange: &#39;-100:-14&#39;, defaultDate:&#39;-14y&#39; }); }); &lt;/script&gt;</code></pre> <p>Thanks anyway! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/limit-the-past-on-date-field#post-70210 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 15:44:12 +0000 manonmichel 70210@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi, I used the following code to limit the dates to between 65 and 14 years in the past:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;script&gt; jQuery(function ($) { $( &quot;#input_1_4&quot; ).datepicker({ minDate: &quot;-65Y&quot;, maxDate: &quot;-14Y&quot; }); }); &lt;/script&gt;</code></pre> <p>But then the year dropdown doesn't show at all. And it seems the UI on the gravityform is a bit messed up. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/limit-the-past-on-date-field#post-68938 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 08:55:04 +0000 Chris Hajer 68938@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You should never modify any of the plugin files. You will lose those changes when the plugin is updated. Here is documentation on how to add those same limits without changing any plugin files.</p> <p><a href="http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/#min-max" rel="nofollow">http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/#min-max</a></p> <p>There is a small snippet of JavaScript to add to the pages where the form with the datepicker exists.

Just in case someone is facing the same issue just go to your gravity forms plugin folder &gt; js &gt; jquery-ui &gt; ui.datepicker.js and change the minDate and maxDate.</p> <p>eg:<br /> minDate: 0, // this will set to the current date<br /> maxDate: +90, // this will let users choose up to 90 days from the current date</p> <p>cheers </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/limit-the-past-on-date-field#post-68935 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 08:38:03 +0000 smaato 68935@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Is it possible to have users select a future date only? I have a schedule a consultation date field and a couple users already added past dates, what doesn't make any good sense, but I need to make sure that doesn't happen.</p> <p>Is also possible to limit the future years? I would like to show from current date up to 2 years maximum (currently my date field allows a 1912-2032 selection range).</p> <p>Thx in advance </p>
