Re: Django Forms Date Format

[Aldo]

Thanks Karen,

Using a combination of  both the links you provided I sorted it.

I just needed to change my  form slightly
class MyForm(ModelForm):
  mydate = forms.DateTimeField(input_formats=['%d-%m-%Y'])
  class Meta:
  model = MyObject

Thanks again for pointing me the right direction.

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/fields/#datefield

documents how to override the default valid date formats for input to a
DateField.

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/#overriding-the-default-field-types

describes how to override the default fields created by a ModelForm.  So I
think you want to override the field in your ModelForm and specify a
different list of valid date input formats.

Try with "USE_I18N = False" in settings.py.
Some sort of known issue, I do believe there's
a ticket somewhere confirming this.

Maybe setting DATE_FORMAT in settings.py could help.

Re: Django Forms Date Format

[Aldo]

Let me add, that my model contains this

mydate = models.DateTimeField().input_formats = ('%Y.%m.%d %H:%M:%S',)

But when i use the input_formats arg it allows my field to accept any
numeric data
eg: 2342342/42354235 is now accepted.

Django Forms Date Format

[Aldo]

I am using django forms. I have created a model/form with 2 fields,
name and date.

Prior to saving the form i check if the form is_valid?

if form.is_valid():
form.save()

My problem is it wants the date in the format - MM/DD/
Otherwise it will not see the form as valid - and not save.

How can i change this I want the date in the format DD/MM/

Please help
