# Calendar Navigation Settings

You can alter the navigation of the calendar in several ways:

year | integer | Initialize the calendar in a different year than the current year.
month | integer | Initialize the calendar in a different month than the current month (January=1, December=12).
show_previous | boolean|integer | Disable the navigation to previous months completely or only allow a maximum number of months.
show_next | boolean|integer | Disable the navigation to next months completely or only allow a maximum number of months.

`<!-- set the calendar to March 2015 do not allow previous months and only allow 2 months in the future --> <script type="application/javascript"> $(document).ready(function () { $("#my-calendar").zabuto_calendar({ year: 2015, month: 3, show_previous: false, show_next: 2 }); }); </script>`
