Localized Calendar Date Picker using <liferay:ui>


Following is the simple but very useful script to display localized calendar date picker-


Calendar defaultValueDate = CalendarFactoryUtil.getCalendar(timeZone, locale);

<liferay-ui:input-date     dayValue=”<%= defaultValueDate.get(Calendar.DATE) %>”

                        dayParam=”day”

                        disabled=”<%= false %>”

                        firstDayOfWeek=”<%= defaultValueDate.getFirstDayOfWeek() – 1 %>”

                        monthParam=”month”

                        monthValue=”<%= defaultValueDate.get(Calendar.MONTH) %>”

                        yearParam=”year”

                        yearValue=”<%= defaultValueDate.get(Calendar.YEAR) %>”

                        yearRangeStart=”<%= defaultValueDate.get(Calendar.YEAR) %>”

                        yearRangeEnd=”<%= defaultValueDate.get(Calendar.YEAR) + 50 %>”

/>


To get the parameters in java code you can simply use –

actionRequest.getParameter(“day”) for day
actionRequest.getParameter(“month”) for month
actionRequest.getParameter(“year”) for year
