Hey Gabriel,

We will support parse the date from a mask soon, although now the minDate/maxDate only support values supported by the Date constructor are supported.

The minDate and maxDate supports the same value as the Date constructor, the documentation is fixed no on Alloy: http://alloy.liferay.com/deploy/api/Cal ... ig_maxDate

Are you guys trying to pass a valid date to the min/maxDate?

Eduardo, You and Alloy made a great job! Thank you.

If has not chance there is a non canonical way: A pseudo-continuation concept. (Was my 'solution').

With a custom event, your calendar can be rewrited by itself. (I don't now about garbage colector efects.)
For example:
1. Add myRender() method to calendar object (you can use extend... etc.)
2. On myRender() method:
2.1. Colects all calendar's state info.
2.2. Destroy current calendar using set('innerHTML','').
2.3. Call function that make new calendar (with a little timeout).
3. Append myRender() method to custom event.

I hope Eduardo's solution will better than this.

Hi Gabriel,
While the solution you recommend could have memory impact, I just wanted you to know that we do have ways to clone widgets. All AlloyUI components support a .clone() method where you can either pass nothing, or a new object.
If you pass nothing, the widget will be cloned with the same config object you originally passed in. If you pass in a new object, that one will be mixed into your original, and the result will be passed into the new clone.

So for example:
var calendar = new A.Calendar({
trigger: '#calDateOut',
dateFormat: '%d/%m/%Y',
setValue: true,
minDate: '25/06/2010',
}) .render();

var calendar1 = calendar.clone();
console.log(calendar.get('minDate')); // prints out 25/06/2010
console.log(calendar1.get('minDate')); // prints out 25/06/2010

var calendar2 = calendar.clone({minDate: '20/07/2010'});

console.log(calendar2.get('minDate')); // prints out 20/07/2010
console.log(calendar2.get('trigger')); // prints out '#calDateOut'

Just wanted to let you know the options for (re-)creating widgets

As for the bug/feature, Eduardo and I will try to get it resolved asap. Can you go to http://issues.liferay.com/browse/AUI , signup for an account and create a new ticket for this?

Thanks Gabriel,
