In jquery ui date-picker how to allow selection of specific weekdays and disable the other weekdays

Question

I need to limit the jquery ui date picker to only have future Tuesdays and Thursdays as selectable days.

How can I accomplish this?

Answer 1

It's all in the documentation. The function beforeShowDay will do what you want.

http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/#option-beforeShowDay

My use was different days but I ended up with beforeShowDay calling my limitdays function

function limitDays(date){

var day = date.getDay();

  // Only make Mon, Tues, and Thurs selectable
  if(day == 1 || day == 2 || day == 4){
    return [true, ''];
  }else{
    return [false, ''];
  }
}
