Hi, I've written my own view to create / edit model instances my project, and part of what I wanted to do was to accept dates only in the format dd-mm-yyyy (%d-%m-%Y).
I searched around a bit and came accross this post: http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/9f84d1b920e54dd2/bbc7857c120c8ecb. Creating my own model field class seemed pretty extreme, but I quickly worked out that I can do this much more simply by adding a line to my ModelForm: class EventForm(ModelForm): start_date = forms.DateField(input_formats=['%d-%m-%Y']) This changes the behaviour, and works fine for validating dates written in non- US format. My problem is that when I create an EventForm from a model instance (for my 'edit' functionality) the date fields (rendered as html text inputs) are populated in the standard %Y-%m-%d format. Submitting the form as populated is therefore invalid, so I have to manually play with the dates each time I edit an event. How would I go about changing this behaviour? I understand that patch 1.1 might address this (by typing date format to locale), but I would like to see if I can knock up a temporary solution.
