How to use jquery-datepicker for date range

Can someone tell me how to use开发者_运维技巧 the jquery-datepicker for a date range in yii? I got it to work for a single date how do i modify it to get a multiple dates. I am new to yii framework.

Try This For Example:

<?php $this->widget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiDatePicker', array(
    'model'=>$model, 'attribute'=>'birthday',
    'options'=>array(
        'dateFormat'=>'yy-mm-dd',
        'yearRange'=>'-70:+0',
        'changeYear'=>'true',
        'changeMonth'=>'true',
    ),
)); ?>

I didn't find the solution to do it with CJuiDatePicker. Instead, I used the following in my view file:

<?php
Yii::app()->getClientScript()->registerCoreScript( 'jquery.ui' );
Yii::app()->clientScript->registerCssFile(
    Yii::app()->clientScript->getCoreScriptUrl().
    '/jui/css/base/jquery-ui.css'
);
Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScript('daterangescript',"
    var dates = $('#ReportForm_date_start, #ReportForm_date_end').datepicker({
        defaultDate: '+1w',
        changeMonth: true,
        changeYear: true,
        numberOfMonths: 1,
        onSelect: function( selectedDate ) {
            var option = this.id == 'ReportForm_date_start' ? 'minDate' : 'maxDate',
                instance = $( this ).data( 'datepicker' );
                date = $.datepicker.parseDate(
                    instance.settings.dateFormat ||
                    $.datepicker._defaults.dateFormat,
                    selectedDate, instance.settings );
            dates.not( this ).datepicker( 'option', option, date );
        }
    });

    $('#ReportForm_date_start, #ReportForm_date_end').datepicker('option', 'dateFormat', 'yy-mm-dd');
",CClientScript::POS_READY);
?>

Don't forget to replace ReportForm_date_start and ReportForm_date_end to your own element ids.

'options'=>array(
 'showAnim'=>'fold',
 'dateFormat'=>'yy-mm-dd',
 'changeMonth'=>true,
 'changeYear'=>true,
 'yearRange'=>'-100:+0',
 'defaultDate'=>'+0'
),

Yii CJuiDatePicker: Date Range

<?php
$this->widget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiDatePicker',array(
    'name'=>'datepicker-min-max',    
    'value'=>date('d-m-Y'),
    'options'=>array(        
        'showButtonPanel'=>true,
        'minDate'=>-5,
        'maxDate'=>"+1M +5D",
    ),
    'htmlOptions'=>array(
        'style'=>''
    ),
));
?>

Please follow jQuery UI documentation to learn how to create date range.

After reading jQuery UI docs you should understand how does it works. Then you can use CJuiDatePicker widget to generate what you need.

It's not hard to adjust Yii widgets to your needs, I'd rather say it's very simple and efficient.

Maybe this is the clue you were looking for:

a date range has 2 dates, one at either end

Presuming you know how to use datepicker widget to retrieve a single date from the user, the simplest approach would be to just instantiate 2 datepickers in your view and use the 2 dates sent back to your controller as the edges of the date range in your model.

you can add 'yearRange' on the option. you can fill it with 'start date:end date', example 'yearRange'=>'2008:2018', or, how many years before and after this present year, write the code using - and +, example 'yearRange'=>'-8:+8', it means that 8 years before this years and 8 years after this years.

From: <input type="text" name="date_from" id="date_from" />        
To: <input type="text" name="date_to" id="date_to" />


    <?php
        $this->widget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiDatePicker', array(
           'name' => 'date_from',
           // additional javascript options for the date picker plugin
           'options' => array(
               'showAnim' => "slideDown",
               'changeMonth' => true,
               'numberOfMonths' => 1,
               'showOn' => "button",
               'buttonImageOnly' => false,
               'dateFormat' => "yy-mm-dd",
               'showButtonPanel' => true,
               'onClose' => 'js:function(selectedDate) { $("#date_to").datepicker("option", "minDate", selectedDate); }',            
           )
       ));
       $this->widget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiDatePicker', array(
           'name' => 'date_to',
           // additional javascript options for the date picker plugin
           'options' => array(
               'showAnim' => "slideDown",
               'changeMonth' => true,
               'numberOfMonths' => 1,
               'showOn' => "button",
               'buttonImageOnly' => false,
               'dateFormat' => "yy-mm-dd",
               'showButtonPanel' => true,
               'onClose' => 'js:function(selectedDate) { $("#date_from").datepicker("option", "maxDate", selectedDate); }',
           )
       ));
?>
