Disable Past dates (shortcode +3d) not working

An alternate solution is to modify two PPOM plugin core files:
inc/hooks.php (function ppom_hooks_input_args())
inc/nmInput.class.php (function Regular())

Add this to function ppom_hooks_input_args() in inc/hooks.php at line 436 just after the if statement for jquery_dp:

  else {
	// html5 date input

	if (isset($field_meta['past_dates'])) {
		$past_dates = $field_meta['past_dates'];
		if (strpos($past_dates, "+") > -1) {
			$increment_number = preg_replace("/[^0-9]/",'',$past_dates);
			$past_dates_format = preg_replace("/[0-9]+/",'',$past_dates);
			$increment_direction = substr($past_dates_format,0,1);
			$increment_step = substr($past_dates_format,1,1);
			$increment_suffix = '';
			switch ($increment_step) {
				case "d": $increment_suffix = ($increment_number > 1) ? "days" : "day"; break;
				case "w": $increment_suffix = ($increment_number > 1) ? "weeks" : "week"; break;
				case "m": $increment_suffix = ($increment_number > 1) ? "months" : "month"; break;
				case "y": $increment_suffix = ($increment_number > 1) ? "years" : "year"; break;
			}

			if ($increment_number > 0) {
				$field_setting['min'] = date("Y-m-d", strtotime( $increment_direction.$increment_number.' '.$increment_suffix));
			} else { $field_setting['min'] = date("Y-m-d"); }
		}
	}
	if (isset($field_meta['year_range'])) {
		$yrParts = explode(":", $field_meta['year_range']);
		if (isset($yrParts[1])) {
			$endYear = $yrParts[1];
			if (strpos($yrParts[1], "c+") > -1 && strlen($yrParts[1]) > 2) {
				$yrAddParts = explode("+", $endYear);
				$eySuffix = ($yrAddParts[1] > 1) ? "years" : "year";
				$endYear = date("Y-m-d", strtotime('+'.$yrAddParts[1] . ' '.$eySuffix));
			}
			$field_setting['max'] = $endYear;
		} else {
			$field_setting['max'] = $field_meta['year_range'];
		}
	}
}

Add this to public function Regular() in inc/nmInput.class.php at line 183 between the $type=="number" and use_regex if statements:

// Adding min/max for date input
if ($type == 'date') {
	$html .= 'min="' . esc_attr($num_min) . '" ';
	$html .= 'max="' . esc_attr($num_max) . '" ';
}

Of course any changes in the PPOM plugin core files will be erased when a new version is released unless @nmedia decides it’s a good idea to add what I’ve provided here.

Hi @brozra,

thanks for the update.

Unfortunately there is no way to disable particular days, more specifically weekends, for an HTML5 date field. The only available controlling attributes are “min”, “max” and “step”. “min” is the earliest available date and “max” is the latest available date. “step” only affects the spinner for selecting the next date.

The date display is set to ISO standard (YYYY-mm-dd) and can’t be changed.

From mozilla.org:
The displayed date format will differ from the actual value — the displayed date is formatted based on the locale of the user’s browser, but the parsed value is always formatted yyyy-mm-dd.

You’re welcome. If you want to be able to disable weekends, try figuring out why the jQuery datepicker isn’t working. More than likely it is a problem with your theme or a JavaScript conflict / error.
