You need to write custom js and listeners to implement this.
(1) Create a js function to compare dates:\
/**
*Compares dates and return values in 0,-1,1,2
**/
MyUtility.compareDate = function(a_dateOne ,a_dateTwo)
{ var returnVal = 'default';
var l_dateOne;
var l_dateTwo;
l_dateOne = a_dateOne.split('/');
l_dateTwo = a_dateTwo.split('/');
if(l_dateOne[2] == l_dateTwo[2] && l_dateOne[1] == l_dateTwo[1] && l_dateOne[0] == l_dateTwo[0]){
returnVal = 0;
}
else if(l_dateOne[2] > l_dateTwo[2]){
returnVal = 1 ;
}else if(l_dateOne[2] == l_dateTwo[2]){
if(l_dateOne[1] > l_dateTwo[1]){
returnVal = 1;
}else if(l_dateOne[1] == l_dateTwo[1]){
if(l_dateOne[0] > l_dateTwo[0]){
returnVal = 1;
}else{
returnVal = -1;
}
}else{
returnVal = -1;
}
}else{
returnVal = -1;
}
return returnVal;
}
(2) Call this function using CQ listeners beforeSubmit event.
function(){
var currentDate = new Date();
currentDate=currentDate.format("d/m/y");
var eventDate=this.findByType('datefield')[0].getDateValue();
var event_year = new Date(eventDate).getFullYear();
var current_year = new Date(currentDate).getFullYear();
if(currentDate!=null)
{
eventDate=eventDate.format("d/m");
currentDate=currentDate.format("d/m");
eventDate = eventDate.concat("/"+event_year);
currentDate = currentDate.concat("/"+current_year);
var l_expirationDateCheck=MyUtility.compareDate(eventDate,currentDate);
if(l_expirationDateCheck==1)
{
var msg = CQ.I18n.getMessage("Selected Date cannot be less than current date");
CQ.Ext.Msg.show({
"title": CQ.I18n.getMessage("Error Message"),
"msg": msg,
"buttons": CQ.Ext.Msg.OK
});
return false;
}
}
}
