Set minimum date in calendar on form

[Jo_Pitts1]

All,

has anyone found a way to set a minimum date for the date picker field on a Marketo form.

Ideally, I don't want a prospect to be able to select a date within 2 days of the current date. (i.e. today is the 30th of June, 2022.  I don't want people to be able to choose any date earlier than the 2nd of July, 2022).

Cheers

Jo

Not using the default calendar but by plugging in, say, Kalendae:

MktoForms2 :: Kalendae enhanced calendar - Demo 02

@SanfordWhiteman ,

something isn't quite right with that example:

1. It doesn't put a date into the field after selecting from the calendar widget.
2. If you try to change months, the Kalendae popup vanishes.

Thoughts?

Cheers

Hmm, lemme debug that, it's an old demo.

Much appreciated.

I've managed to get the blackout part working... just need your epic skills on those issues 🙂

@SanfordWhiteman ,

it seems Kalendae is a bit broken.  Their own examples are exhibiting the same problems that I saw in your demo.

However, I took the core logic from your demo (namely declaring the field as text not date in the form, and then binding a JS date picker to the input), and used https://flatpickr.js.org/ instead.

Now, is it worth the effort to put in a nicer date format, and then reformat it back to something that Marketo understands on submit.... Hmmmm

So, I did that.  It works very nicely.  The input field displays dd-MMM-yyyy format, and on submit converts it back to yyyy-mm-dd.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction @SanfordWhiteman.
