Is there a way to set the view on the kendo datepicker - kendo-ui

I'm using the date picker to allow a user to select start and end dates.
When the page first loads, both date pickers will display the current month the first time the calendar is opened.
However, I want the start datepicker to open up a view from one year in the past.
I've looked through the api (options and methods) and haven't found anything to specify a month.
Has anybody tried this?

I don't quite get what view means. Just shooting in the dark - if you want to limit the start to 1 year in the past or on certain month in the past, there is a configuration option min.
From the Kendo examples:
<input id="datepicker" />
<script>
$("#datepicker").kendoDatePicker({
min: new Date(2011, 0, 1) // sets min date to Jan 1st, 2011
});
</script>
Update:
var datepicker = $("#datepicker").data("kendoDatePicker");
var d = new Date ();
$("#datepicker").kendoDatePicker({
value: new Date (d.setFullYear(d.getFullYear() - 1))
});
So this should open the "view" at this day 1 year ago. Live at the Dojo

There is a property called dateView that can have the value set.
Dojo Demo
var datepicker = $("#datepicker").data("kendoDatePicker");
datepicker.bind('open', function() {
if (this.value() !== this.dateView.value()) {
this.dateView.value(null);
}
});
datepicker.dateView.value(dt);
This will update the value in the popup calendar without updating the value of the widget itself.
Edit: This actually causes a bug where clicking the selected dateView value doesn't update the actual picker value. I've added a handler for the open event to take care of the mismatch and clear the selected dateView value.

Zoho Creator -- Get calendar date from calendar report and paste into another form

I have a calendar report. when i click on a date, i want a different form to open, not the form that the calendar report is based on. Then i want the date value from the first form to be passed to the second form. So far, I have this code, on load of the Calendar Form:
MyDate = input.Departure_Date_Time;
//return same window to calendar report
openUrl("https://app.zohocreator.com/ccimailzoho/interhof-travel-
calendar#Calendar","same window");
//open trip form in popup
openurl("#Form:Trip_Form","popup window");
//Trip_Form.Departure_Date_Time = MyDate;
But it doesn't work; MyDate variable does not hold the value between the two forms. Any ideas?
For future viewers, if you want to set a value of a form on open from a different form, you can set the value directly in the openurl statement:openurl("#Form:Trip_Form?Departure_Date_Time=" + input.Departure_Time + "&Arrival_Date_Time=" + input.Departure_Time,"same window");

kendo datepicker - set date without looking maxdate

I have one kind of scenario using date picker. I have date picker with max date=current date + 10 days,on page load only i want to show date more than the max date,but I'm allowing user to enter only up to max date. Is it possible. Without looking maxing date i want to display only the date what ever i want.code:-
var datepicker = $("#date" + uid).data("kendoDatePicker");
var addDays = new Date();
if (arr[1] == "") {
var d = new Date();
datepicker.min(new Date());
datepicker.max(new Date(d.getDate() , d.getMonth(), d.getDate()+ parseInt(arr[1]) - parseInt(1)));
}
I don't know if this is achievable. But what if you try to add two date pickers instead? One that display only the text, and the other only the calendar button. You need to play a bit the CSS, but I think it could spare you a lot of time.

Modifying the background color of a day with an event in Fullcalendar plugin

I need to change the background color of a specific day which has an event added through the Google Calendar.
I removed the way it originally shows an event, as you might know, just like in Calendar, because I don't need that.
I've also thought in a way to add in the source code a condition to check if there's an event in that day, and if the condition is true, add a special class such fc-has-event, and then modify it through CSS rule. But the problem is that I have no idea how I could do it, I've already spent two days checking the code.
Can someone help me please?
Inside eventRender use the Date constructor to compare the event date with a manual set date:
var google_date = new Date( event._start._d );
var check_date = new Date( '2014-09-09' ); // The date you want to highlight
if ( google_date.toDateString() == check_date.toDateString() ) {
element.addClass( 'custom-class' );
}

How to highlight week in kendo datepicker on mouseover

I want highlight the week on mouse hover in kendo datepicker and on select of any date in that week i want to get week start date and end date. I am not getting any idea how to do it.
Can anyone one help me Pl.
Thanks in advance
After having done just done this myself, I'll leave traces here for future readers.
The first thing to do is to have the selection look like it's picking a week instead of a day. To achieve that, use a bit of CSS :
.k-calendar table.k-content tr:hover td { background-color: #E3F2FD; }
.k-calendar table.k-content tr td.k-state-selected,
.k-calendar table.k-content tr td.k-state-selected ~ td { background-color: #2196F3; }
This will light up all the week when the mouse hovers a row, yet still display the selected day AND any following day that week in a different color. The trick to make this work is to make sure the selected day is actually always the first day of the week.
To do so (and to extract the week start and week end dates), use the change event :
onChange: function (e, callback) {
// Set the culture, since the first day of a week might be different
moment.locale(GetCulture());
// Get the selected date and calculate the start and end of week
var weekStart = moment(e.sender.value()).startOf('week').toDate();
var weekEnd = moment(weekStart).add(6, 'day').toDate();
// Always reset the date to the start of the week (the style needs it)
e.sender.value(weekStart);
// Do whatever else you want here
}
This solution requires the use of moment.js, a library that was already in use in my project. There are potentially other ways to do the same, but this one is simple enough.
All that's left should be minor details, like changing the text of the "Current Day" footer to read "Current Week", which is trivial to do via the open event :
widget.one("open", function (e) {
$('.k-footer a.k-nav-today', e.sender.dateView.popup.element).text("Current Week");
});

Jquery full calendar

How do I remove the past dates from the full calendar. SO when the calendar loads it should display only current month's date. I could disable the past dates but I need to remove it from the current month.
Use the property visStart, this will let you control what the first visible day on the calendar is. You can set that to DateTime.Now() (c#) or Now = new Date() (javascript)
http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/docs/views/View_Object/
This will stop the past dates from showing up the calendar.
I don't have the solution for removing dates, but this is what I'm using for when someone clicks on a date and trying to make an appointment thats in the past.
var date = new Date();
select: function(start, end, allDay) {
if(start < date) {
alert('Cannot select past dates.');
return;
}
},
