Bootstrap datetimepicker: show calendar pop-up when a user clicks on input
You can simply use allowInputToggle option setting it to true (Default: false). As docs says:
If
true, the picker will show on textbox focus and icon click when used in a button group
Here a working live sample:
$('#datetimepicker1').datetimepicker({
allowInputToggle: true
});<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.18.1/moment.js"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datetimepicker/4.17.37/js/bootstrap-datetimepicker.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datetimepicker/4.17.37/css/bootstrap-datetimepicker.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class='input-group date' id="datetimepicker1">
<input type='text' class="form-control" />
<span class="input-group-addon">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></span>
</span>
</div>It's a little tricky, but you need to move the datetime picker to the input and manually handle the click on the input group addon. For example:
$(function() {
$('.datetimepicker').datetimepicker();
$('.datetimepicker-addon').on('click', function() {
$(this).prev('input.datetimepicker').data('DateTimePicker').toggle();
});
