Using the datepicker for recurring dates / implementing this as a new feature

[ckosmowski]

Hi there,

I am searching for a solution how i can use the bootstrap-datepicker for recurring date input.

For example i'd like the user to choose a month, and a day in month independently from the Year. So no year should be specified or displayed.

i.e. for business hours the user should be able to specify:

opened

from: January 1st 

to: April 5th

and doesn't care about the year anyway because its the same dates every year.

According to the documentation i don't see an existing way of making the bootstrap-datepicker to do this. So i'd like to contribute a solution and i see the following problems:

- The resulting date will always be a date that contains a year information. This is also important to be able to store it in a database and such.

- The Weekdays also do not make sense if the year is undefined

- To be able to select a day in month without a year you must be able to choose between 1 and 30 or 31 depending on the month. But how to handle February where the maximum changes depending on the year ?

In some situations i would rather use two selectboxes one with the day and one with the month. But this leeds to the same problems in the underlying datalayer and it will break the user experience because all other date inputs use bootstrap-datepicker.

Any opinons, suggestions on this ?

Anyone with the same feature request ?

regards

Christian
