Hi Alvaro,
If I do that (JS and AJAX), do you think my views.py is already correct? *T
= timezone.now()* is important for me in order to get the right data from
sql for the end user.
*Views.py*
from django.utils import timezone
*t = timezone.now()* [this should detect end user's timezone]
dm = t.strftime('%m-%d')
history = history.objects.filter(monthday__exact=dm)
historystory = random.sample(list(history), 1)
args = {'historystory':historystory}
return render(request, "news/home.html", args)
