2.0 datepicker

[storborg]

Here's the datepicker updated for 2.0-wip. I updated the version of jquery used on the test fixture to 1.7 (since I'm using .on() and .off()), but if supporting old versions of jquery was intentional, I can update the plugin to use older idioms.

Just throwing something up here. Wouldn't it be better to build a bootstrap jQuery UI theme? Building all kind of UI element seems to be beyond the scope of Bootstrap.

Going to wait for mark to prototype some design before we start trying to code anything - that way we can make sure to have the right pattern for the job. thanks though!

Hi there,

Is there a way to trigger the datepicker from another element other than input box?

What I'm trying to achieve is when click a button in a page, opens the dropdown menu with a datepicker in it. And change the label of the button with selected date.

Thank you

Hasan

@fat: excuse me, any progress in prototyping?

not that i'm aware of - bugs have been the main priority and getting stuff ready for #GSOC

It would look much clearer if you used icon-arrow-left and icon-arrow-right instead of ← and →

Here is an example of another bootstrap datepicker which uses the icons.

It would also be better if the i18n support were a bit more flexible, like the jquery-ui datepicker. E.g. something like:

• Have the current defaults in the code marked as being the 'en' language
• Allow the user to specify new language strings by assigning to something like `$.datepicker.language['fr']
• Allow the user to set the default language with something like $.datepicker.setLanguage or $.datepicker.setDefaults(language: ...)
