Datepicker - Disable next 3 days if its friday past 11AM

Question

I got some trouble making an awesome feature for my datepicker. The things i want to do is:

• I want to disable the next 3 days if the current day is friday, and if its past 11AM.

  $('#datetimepicker').datepicker({
      format:'d/m/Y',
      formatDate:'Y/m/d', 
      dayNamesMin: ['Søn', 'Man', 'Tir', 'Ons', 'Tor', 'Fre', 'Lør'],
      monthNames: [ "Januar", "Februar", "Marts", "April", "Maj", "Juni", "Juli", "August", "September", "Oktober", "November", "December" ],
      monthNamesShort: [ "Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "Maj", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Okt", "Nov", "Dec" ],
      minDate: +1,
      beforeShow : function(){
          var dateTime = new Date();
          var hour = dateTime.getHours();
          if(hour  >= 11){
              $(this).datepicker( "option", "minDate", "+2" );
          }
      }
  });
  

I have been look around other examples on stackoverflow but nothing worked. So nows my time to try my luck!

Many thanks beforehand!

Your current javascript function doesn't take the day of the week into account. Just add some logic to also check that the current day is a Friday.

...
beforeShow : function(){
        var dateTime = new Date();
        var hour = dateTime.getHours();
        var dayOfWeek = dateTime.getDay(); //check the day of the week
        if(dayOfWeek == 5  &&  hour >= 11) {
            $(this).datepicker( "option", "minDate", "+2" );
        }
    }

Note that the getDay() function returns the day of the week as an 0-indexed integer, with Sunday being 0, and Saturday being 6. So date.getDay() == 5 is a Friday.
