>From memory, you need to specifiy the date format in both the Widget
and an explicit validator, as CalendarDatePicker doen't allow you to
set the format attribute via __init__, or its default validator's
format. Best way IMO is to sublcass the DatePicker, something like:
date_format = "%d/%m/%Y" # or "%Y-%m-%d" or whatever in useful global
class ProjectDatePicker(widgets.CalenderDatePicker):
format = date_format # can't set this in __init__ currently!
validator = validators.DateConverter(format=date_format)
Works with DateTime variants as well, IIRC. Really, I think you should
be able to just pass format as a parameter to __init__ for the widget
and have pass it on to it's default validator, but there maybe some
other thinking going on that I'm missing.
I think the whole design here is somewhat flawed - as it doesn't work well
with i18n.
The actual problem is, that the DateConverter gets the date_format, but it is
_not_ evaluated if it is a callable, but is treated as string.
So, the "trick" to pass locale-dependend parameters as callables won't work.
I've created a patch for both classes for my local TG-version (there are some
other minor modifications).
I see if I can get around submitting a patch.
