Hello,

Today I tried to handle custom dates formats in admin and there are a  
couple of issues related to that.

First on rendering, AdminDateWidget doesn't inherit from DateTimeInput  
which seems more logic to me. I eventually update the patch #7656 and  
it works. Is there any reason against that approach before I add tests  
and documentation?

Then on validation, my first idea was to allow  
form.fields.DEFAULT_DATE/TIME_INPUT_FORMATS to be overridden by  
settings and I think it makes sense because from my experience, when  
you decide to create a website (let's say, in French) you do not want  
to pass your custom input_formats argument to all your fields. I know,  
I can add a FRDate/TimeField in localflavor but it doesn't solve the  
admin issue either. Are there drawbacks to this approach?

I know that the timing isn't that good because you are working on big  
1.1 features but I need it now and I'll work on it so feedback is  
appreciated before I submit complete patches.

Regards,
David

ps: looking for tickets on this topic, I found #8962 which is  
interesting in terms of consistency, note that the author discuss the  
interest of settings in comments too.
