Bootstrap DateTimePicker配置参数未生效问题求助

Hey there! Let's work through your Bootstrap DateTimePicker issues together—you've got two clear problems here, so let's tackle them one by one.

1. Why you're still forced to select a time (and how to fix it) #

Your current setup sets maxViewMode: 3 (which lets users navigate up to the year view), but you haven't restricted the picker to only date selection (it defaults to date-time mode). Here's how to lock it to just dates:

• Add minViewMode: 2 — this sets the lowest selectable view to the day level, so time-related options won't appear at all.
• Double-check your format syntax: Most DateTimePicker versions use case-sensitive formatting strings. Swap dd/mm/yyyy for DD/MM/YYYY (uppercase) to ensure two-digit dates/months and four-digit years are properly enforced.
• Optional: Add startView: 2 to open the picker directly to the month/day view instead of starting at the time picker, which makes the UX smoother for date-only selection.

Updated config snippet for this fix:

$('#birthDatePicker').datetimepicker({
  format : "DD/MM/YYYY",
  maxViewMode : 3,
  minViewMode: 2, // Disables time selection entirely
  startView: 2,
  language : "fr", // We'll fix this next
  autoclose : true
});

2. Why French language isn't applying #

This usually boils down to either a wrong parameter name or missing locale files:

• Check the parameter name: Many modern Bootstrap DateTimePicker versions (like Eonasdan's popular fork) use locale: "fr" instead of language: "fr". If you're using this version, swap the parameter name and test again.
• Confirm locale files are loaded:
  • If your picker relies on Moment.js (most do), make sure you've loaded the French locale for Moment. You can use moment-with-locales.min.js (includes all locales) or load moment.min.js followed by the standalone moment-fr.min.js file.
  • For older DateTimePicker versions, ensure you've included the French language file (e.g., bootstrap-datetimepicker.fr.js) right after the main DateTimePicker JS file.

Quick Additional Checks #

• Script placement: Your initialization script is inside the form group div. It's better to move all your scripts to the bottom of the <body> tag (right before </body>) to guarantee all DOM elements are loaded before jQuery tries to initialize the picker. (Your $(function() is already shorthand for $(document).ready(), but placement still helps avoid race conditions.)
• Dependency order: Verify your files are loaded in this exact order:
  1. jQuery
  2. Moment.js (if required by your picker version)
  3. Bootstrap CSS + JS
  4. DateTimePicker CSS + JS
  5. Locale files (Moment or DateTimePicker)
  6. Your initialization script

Give these adjustments a shot—they should resolve both the language and time selection issues you're seeing!
