I am using jquery date picker with cakephp 2.3. Datepicker popup is OK.
When I want to edit a any record, it does not display date field value in form. I checked many ways and I am sure that it is date picker issue.
Populated source code of date field
<input id="CallDateTo" class="hasDatepicker" type="text" value="2013-04-15" name="data[Call][date_to]">
Here we see that value exist in HTML but it does not display in form.
Any one can help me?
Yes, I found the solution. I have to write as bellow
$( "#CallDateFrom, #CallDateTo" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd"});
Before that I wrote as bellow and caused the problems.
$( "#CallDateFrom, #CallDateTo" ).datepicker({ changeMonth: true, changeYear: true});
$( "#CallDateFrom, #CallDateTo" ).datepicker( "option", "dateFormat", 'yy-mm-dd' );
Set the date using correct format
$('#CallDateTo').datepicker({
dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd"
});

My question is similar to Remove Leading "0" in day of month SimpleDateFormat
Is it possible to remove the leading "0" in jquery UI datepicker?
The DateFormat option is as close as I could get from the documentation:
$( ".selector" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd" });
But what I need is on a date like Dec 5th, 2012, datepicker shows it as 12/05/2012 whereas I would like to have 12/5/2012. Same goes for April 5th: 4/5/2013 for example.
Can this be done without an extensive logic?
Try
$( ".selector" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: "yy-m-d" });

The question is the in title. When I am showing the year list in Jquery-UI datepicker, can I control what year the list starts with?
UPDATED CODE
$(".datepicker").datepicker({
changeYear: true,
dateFormat: 'dd-M-yy',
altFormat: 'dd-M-yy',
minDate: '2001-01-01',
duration: ''
});
I need the year list to start with 2001. Is this possible with this control? The code above doesn't achieve this.
You could accomplish it a couple of different ways:
$(".datepicker1").datepicker({ yearRange: "2001:2012", changeYear: true, defaultDate: new Date(2001,0,1)});
$(".datepicker2").datepicker({changeYear: true, defaultDate: new Date(2001,0,1)});
datepicker1 includes a defaultDate but it doesn't have to. If you leave it out, it will default to today's date and the year select will start with the current year.
Note that datepicker2 includes the default year range in the year select box.

You can use the defaultDate parameter.

If you want to set a specific year only, use the minDate and maxDate parameters (ie {minDate: '2010-01-01', maxDate: '2010-12-31'}. It's all in the documentation. Give it a read.
I'm working on some internationalization using jQueryUI. I have a DatePicker control on a form that is properly working in the French language.
When I select a date, for example August 15, 2012, the DatePicker will display 15 Aoû, 2012 as I would expect. My issue however, is that when the form is posted, the value of the DatePicker is posted as '15 Aoû, 2012' which now needs to be translated on the server before it can be saved properly.
My question is, is there a built-in way inside the jQueryUI DatePicker so that I can have it always post to the server in a consistent format, regardless of which language the control is being displayed in? If there isn't a built-in way, what options exist for achieving this?
I realize that I can change the dateformat to something like 08/15/2012 instead of using the textual representation, however this isn't what I want to do.
There's 2 configuration options for that: altField and altFormat. http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/#option-altField
If you specify an altField, that field will be updated too, and will have the altFormat.
Normally you will want make the altField a hidden field, soyou can ignore the regular field and send to db the altField.
As you'll have noticed, supplying a dateFormat works well for newly entered dates, but it does not alter the value attribute which was already supplied to the date input field. It took me some time and I'm not sure whether this solution is ideal, but here's my situation explained and the code which solves it. Might help others with the same problem in the future. In my example I'm using dd/MM/yyyy as the display format.
The page contains any number of date input fields, which may or may not already have a value attribute supplied in the format yyyy-MM-dd, as specified by W3C.
Some browsers will have their own input control to handle dates. At the time of writing, that is for instance Opera and Chrome. These should expect and store a date in the abovementioned format, while rendering them according to the client's regional settings. You probably do not want/need to create a jqueryui datepicker in these browsers.
Browsers which don't have a built-in control to handle date input fields will need the jqueryui datepicker along with an 'alt', invisible field.
The invisible, alt input field with the yyyy-MM-dd format must have the original name and a unique id in order for forms logic to keep working.
Finally, the yyyy-MM-dd value of the display input field must be parsed and replaced with its desired counterpart.
So, here's the code, using Modernizr to detect whether or not the client is able to natively render date input fields.
if (!Modernizr.inputtypes.date) {
$('input[type=date]').each(function (index, element) {
/* Create a hidden clone, which will contain the actual value */
var clone = $(this).clone();
clone.insertAfter(this);
clone.hide();
/* Rename the original field, used to contain the display value */
$(this).attr('id', $(this).attr('id') + '-display');
$(this).attr('name', $(this).attr('name') + '-display');
/* Create the datepicker with the desired display format and alt field */
$(this).datepicker({ dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy", altField: "#" + clone.attr("id"), altFormat: "yy-mm-dd" });
/* Finally, parse the value and change it to the display format */
if ($(this).attr('value')) {
var date = $.datepicker.parseDate("yy-mm-dd", $(this).attr('value'));
$(this).attr('value', $.datepicker.formatDate("dd/mm/yy", date));
}
});
}
<input type="text" name='fieldName' id="datepicker" value="" style="width: 100px;" />
<script type="text/javascript">
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker( "option", "dateFormat", 'dd/mm/yy' );
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
</script>
It appears someone else had this question or a similar one prior to yours.
If you read this stackoverflow answer, the author was trying to show the date in one format and pass the data to MySQL in another format.
The prior answer in that link gets you set up to access the selected value as a variable. Now all you need is to wire in a parseDate to your selected date variable.
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#cal').datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd M yy',
onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
var dateAsString = dateText; //the first parameter of this function
var newDateFormat = $.datepicker.parseDate('dd-mm-yyyy', dateAsString);
}
});
</script>
Check the parseDate link for settings and formatting.
Hope this helps!
Basically, you should not re-format the date. Instead, you should read JavaScript's Date object from Datepicker, via getDate() method. Then, you need to pass it to server.
The question is how. Basically, what you want is some common format. If you use JSON the answer is very simple, just put date object and JSON's stringify() function will automatically format it to ISO8601.
As you may see from Wikipedia, ISO8601 was designed to interchange date and time reliably, therefore that's what you should use.
It might be helpful to know that modern web browsers support Date object's toISOString() method.
As #Pawel-Dyda mentioned,
There's a
getDate() method
var currentDate = $( ".selector" ).datepicker( "getDate" );
Here's an example of what it returns: Wed Jan 20 2016 00:00:00 GMT+0300.
You can parse it in Javascript, PHP, in SQL or whatever.
MySQL parsing examlple:
select str_to_date('Wed Jan 20 2016 00:00:00 GMT+0300','%a %b %d %Y %H:%i:%s');
Returns:
2016-01-20 00:00:00

Who can help me ?
CMIIW, datepicker is only to pick date. time (hour,minute,second) is not included.
so the formatting for time is not there.
use this one that extend jquery ui datepicker. you can pick up both date and time.
http://trentrichardson.com/examples/timepicker/
a datepicker is for picking a DATE
there is no time component available via datepicker.
if you want to use the current time or any other time, you can write your own functions for parsing the date (without the time, so that datepicker still works) and for appending the time after picking a date
