Well. I should've just looked at the code before asking! submit_date has auto_now_add=True. Looks like I'll be adding comments outside the Admin! Unless there's some way to override this without actually tweaking the source code? On Sep 7, 9:26 pm, Drasty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I'm in the process of "re-creating" a series of blog posts & comments in a new Django project. I can't seem to be able to adjust the "Date/ time submitted" field in the Admin interface. Is this a bug, can't you do this, or is there a specific technique to use?

I'll give it a shot. One alternative I think could work for me is to use just one model for each of the (current) models I'm trying to merge in the view, with a bunch of fields that are flagged with "blank=True." This makes ordering them in generic views very easy, but I don't like the prospects

Is there a way to concatenate model querysets and use the concatenation as the basis for a date-based generic view? Or, would I be able to mimic the generic view code but alter it in such a way that it handles the concatenation? (Each of the models would have a DateTimeField called "date") E.g.
