Hi Koen,
I'm using modelform, having tried the 'output_format' there does not seems to
work. In the mean time I figured out a solution within the model like this:
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(Product, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
if not isinstance(self.period_start_date, unicode):
self.period_start_date = self.period_start_date.strftime('%d-%m-%Y')
nb: the unicode test is for when a new empty object is invoked.
I'm not sure yet whether formatting like this belongs on the model or the form
side.
Anyway, thanx for the response.
Regards,
Gerard.
