Question

I want to set default time in this datetimepicker as 00:01 for the current date. Anyone tried that before? Having a tough time with it. It Seems simple.

Answer 1

i tried to set default time for a picker and it worked:

$('#date2').datetimepicker({
 format: 'DD-MM-YYYY 12:00:00'
});

this will save in database as : 2015-03-01 12:00:00

used for smalldatetime type in sql server

Answer 2

It works for me:

 <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function () {
            var dateNow = new Date();
            $('#calendario').datetimepicker({
                locale: 'es',
                format: 'DD/MM/YYYY',
                defaultDate:moment(dateNow).hours(0).minutes(0).seconds(0).milliseconds(0)                    
            });
        });            
    </script>

For use datetime from input value, just set option useCurrent to false, and set in value the date

$('#datetimepicker1').datetimepicker({
  useCurrent: false,
  format: 'DD.MM.YYYY H:mm'
});

Answer 5

Set a default input value as per this GitHub issue.

HTML

<input type="text" id="datetimepicker-input"></input>

jQuery

var d = new Date();

var month = d.getMonth()+1;
var day = d.getDate();

var output = d.getFullYear() + '/' +
(month<10 ? '0' : '') + month + '/' +
(day<10 ? '0' : '') + day;

$("#datetimepicker-input").val(output + " 00:01:00");

jsFiddle
JavaScript date source

EDIT - setLocalDate/setDate

var d = new Date();
var month = d.getMonth();
var day = d.getDate();
var year = d.getFullYear();

$('#startdatetime-from').datetimepicker({
    language: 'en',
    format: 'yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm'
});
$("#startdatetime-from").data('DateTimePicker').setLocalDate(new Date(year, month, day, 00, 01));

Hello developers,

Please try this code

var default_date=  new Date(); // or your date
$('#datetimepicker').datetimepicker({
    format: 'DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm', // format you want to show on datetimepicker
    useCurrent:false, // default this is set to true
    defaultDate: default_date
});

if you want to set default date then please set useCurrent to false otherwise setDate or defaultDate like methods will not work.
