Select other dates even there are disabled date in the middle of desired dates

Is it possible to select dates between a disabled date? I tried to disable a specific date. e.g. (2018-08-17). I still want to select dates from 2018-08-16 to 2018-08-18.

function pad(number, length) {
   
                var str = '' + number;
                while (str.length < length) {
                    str = '0' + str;
                }
            
                return str;

            }

beforeShowDay: function(t)
                {
                    $dates = '2018-08-17';
                    $calendar_date = t.getFullYear()+"-"+(pad(t.getMonth()+1, 2))+"-"+pad(t.getDate(), 2);
                    var valid = !($calendar_date == $dates);
                    var _class = valid ? '' : 'invalid';
                    var _tooltip = valid ? '' : 'This is already taken.';
                    return [valid,_class,_tooltip];
                },

@windchime18 thanks for the screenshot, that helps understanding your case! Indeed, I think by default this is not supported.

When looking at example#26 at https://longbill.github.io/jquery-date-range-picker/ this does also not work by default.

But it seems it is possible, please see this comment https://github.com/longbill/jquery-date-range-picker/issues/352#issuecomment-351705025, it refers to this example: https://jsfiddle.net/maximelafarie/dnbd01do/21/

In that example the Sundays are disabled, but I can easily select a range from Friday to Monday…

Does this help you?

Maybe this functionality can be adopted in the library, a Pull Request would be welcome.
