I followed the Django guide in creating a Polls website, and I encountered
a strange, but funny bug in the automatically created administration site.
The problematic model:
{{{
class Poll(models.Model):
question = models.CharField(max_length=200)
pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')
def was_published_today(self):
return self.pub_date.date() == datetime.date.today()
was_published_today.short_description = "Published today?"
def __unicode__(self):
return self.question
}}}
The problematic admin object:
{{{
class PollAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
fieldsets = [
(None, {'fields':
['question']}),
('Date information', {'fields': ['pub_date'],
'classes': ['collapse']})
]
inlines = [ChoiceInLine]
list_display = ('question', 'pub_date', 'was_published_today')
list_filter = ['pub_date']
search_fields = ['question']
date_hierarchy = 'pub_date'
}}}
I was going through the admin guide, and it was passed midnight (well,
just like now). I played around with the admin site, as I noticed
something strange - a poll I added with today's date (the new day),
returned False in the ''was_published_today'' method.
I figured something funny is going on, so I played with the date
hierarchy, and strangely (but expected), the hierarchy thing did not count
this Poll object as today either - in fact, I had to go all the way back
to ''This month'' filter to see it (I guessed the ''Today'' and ''Passed 7
days'' use a different checking method which involved a faulty
subtracting, where as the ''This month'' and ''This year'' just compares).
I added useful screen shots - The date can be found at the top right of
the screen, and the time (fuzzily) at the bottom (thank god for KDE's
awesome plasmoids).
