I want to have views exposed filter on node created field with popup. I've installed date_popup, the popup appears but I'm looking for a way to restrict it to only year and month.

enter image description here

I tried the following solutions but no success.

function HOOK_form_alter(&$form, FormStateInterface $form_state, $form_id) {

  if( $form['#id'] == 'views-exposed-form-news-page-1') {
    $form['created']['#date_format'] = 'm-Y';
    $form['created']['#date_date_format'] = 'm-Y';
    $form['created']['value']['#date_format'] = 'm-Y';
    $form['created']['value']['#date_date_format'] = 'm-Y';
    $form['date_needed'] = [
      '#type' => 'date',
      '#title' => 'test',
      '#date_date_format' => 'm/Y',
      '#date_format' => 'm/Y',
    ];
  }
  return $form;
}

  • I don't think there is a way yet to adjust date granularity for an exposed filter. However, there is a patch to introduce it.

  • did you try '#datepicker_options' => array( 'dateFormat' => date_popup_format_to_popup('m-Y'), ), ?

  • Confused by your screenshots. The first looks like a Javascript popup (from the date_popup module?). The second looks like the native Chrome date picker. If you do <input type="date"> then you will always get the native date picker. You need to do <input type="text"> if you want to override this behavior. But, I am not familiar with the date_popup to know how to integrate it with Form API.

You'll need a external library to do that. Something like jQuery UI Month Picker Plugin and you'll probably will need to use a textfield rather than date.

OR

Use the Month Year module

This module provides a month year field type.
