Is there a way to only show predefined dates when using the date picker field? I would like to use this to let the users pick between certain available dates.

Limit dates when using date picker field?

We use the JQuery Datepicker plugin, and as such, you are limited to the features of that specific tool. It doesn't allow you to easily block out dates. Check out more details and documentation here:

There are no updates to this functionality.

Heya - I'm looking for this too. Specifically to be able to block any dates prior to Today from being selected. I see in the Datepicker documentation that there are minDate and maxDate options...any idea of how to integrate these either through the form or through functions.php?
cheers,

Actually, you would use JavaScript in your theme's header.php or custom JS location to add in JavaScript from the examples they have listed on their page.
For example
<script> $(function() { $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({ minDate: -20, maxDate: "+1M +10D" }); }); </script>The above code would go in your header.php theme file before the </head> and would allow you to select a range of 20 days before and one month and ten days after today.

Yes, just found this post http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/calendar-does-the-date-picker-still-allow-users-to-pick-dates-in-the-past
And it works great! Am now wondering if there is a way to block the field? Because I notice that we have users who are able to enter non-sensical data - I'd like to be able to force them to use the calendar to eliminate possible error...ideas?
(sorry for the double post!)
