Question

I am working on some project based on Twitter Bootstrap which using a datepicker from https://github.com/eternicode/bootstrap-datepicker (that is a fork from some other version), but it’s missing a very important feature that I need – how to enable only specific date range (eg. from past 15 days till today), so any other date can’t be even selected (not clickable).

I found a similar solution here on SO, which disables Saturdays and Sundays:
Limit bootstrap-datepicker to weekdays only?
http://jsfiddle.net/katowulf/zNbUT/5/ , but I dont know how to adjust it to my needs.

Thanks in advance.

The similar question you linked to ended up using quite a hack, but what you want is a lot simpler — you’re looking for the startDate and endDate options:

$('#dp1').datepicker({
    format: 'mm-dd-yyyy',
    startDate: '-15d',
    endDate: '+0d' // there's no convenient "right now" notation yet
});

These options can take Date objects, timedelta strings (as I did here), or date strings following the given format.

Also, make sure you’re using the code from github — eyecon.ro’s copy is the original code, with old bugs and without the newer features.
