Limit date Field

Hello, Is it possible to limit the data field to Month and Year only?I am trying to create a visual force page that has a to and from date.But would like to show only Month and Year to the User.

There is no way to actually have the system ignore the day part of a date field completely.  You could potentially have a workflow/trigger update it to always be the first of the month to apply some sort of convention.  You could also have a formula field/vf page display the date with different formatting (like mm/yyyy).  You could then also, make a custom text field or something and use a validation rule to enforce a mm/yyyy format.  I think some combo of those is going to be your best option.

Hi Michael,

 

you cannot format the date field directly, but you can create 2 seperate outputText tag with the date merge field as follows:

 

<outputText value="{!dateField.month}" /> <outputText value="{!dateField.year}" />

Alternatively, especially for output, you could just have the controller return a string...

 

 

//Controller

public String getMonthYear() {
    return String.valueOf(myDate.month()) + '/' + String.valueOf(myDate.year());
}

// Page

<apex:outputText value="{!monthyear}" />

I would do this way
 
<apex:column >
<apex:facet name="header">Registration Date</apex:facet>
<apex:outputText value="{0,date, dd MMM yyyy}">&nbsp;
<apex:param value="{!Opp.Registration_Date__c}" />
</apex:outputText>
</apex:column>
