Hi, I am a newbie in RSForm Pro. I need to create a calendar in my registration form with minimum and maximum dates. I need to prevent a user from selecting a date before the minimum date and after the maximum date.
There is a tutorial on this, but I am not able to follow it.
Could anyone elaborate this tutorial in simpler terms.

Thanks

If the minimum and maximum dates are fixed, achieving this would be fairly simple, just head to Components >> RSForm!Pro >> Manage Forms >> edit your form >> Components >> edit your calendar field and add the dates in the Min Date and Max Date fields found in the 'Attributes' tab. Note that the required date format is 'mm/dd/yyyy', so the end result should look like this:

04/24/2013

If you wish to calculate the min and max dates based on the current date, you will need to add a script similar to the following one

//<code>
return date('m/d/Y', strtotime("today"));
//</code>

in the Min Date / Max Date fields.

how can you make it for next day?

so not today but do i need to fill in tomorrow?
or + 1 day somewhere

and can i change the max date so someone can only click on the next 5 days from now on?

I'd love to know the answer to this. I'm currently trying to make the minimum date on a calendar field of mine in RS!Form. I'd like it to be 5 months from the current day.

Any help would be much appreciated.

The strtotime syntax is fairly easy to use, you can read more on it here:
