Hi Gerard,
the DateTimeInput widget already accepts a format parameter.
What I do is I have a subclass of ModelForm that in its init goes over
the fields and replaces the widget for Datefields with a datetimeinput
with the correct format. I also change the input format their (I
prefer dd/mm/yyyy).
something like:
for field in self.fields:
if isinstance(self.fields[field], forms.Datefield):
self.fields[field].input_formats = settings.DATE_INPUT_FORMATS
self.fields[field].widget = forms.DateTimeInput(format =
settings.DATE_OUTPUT_FORMAT)
as you can see, I put the formats in my settings file, but of course
you could just plug them right in here too.
I am not sure this is the best way to do this, but maybe this helps.
