I did this with a combination of a DateWidget and a small .js file
that calls the jquery datepicker on each widget. I don't use the same
date format as you, but you should be able to modify it to fit your
need.
It's amazing how easy the code below looks, but I can tell you it took
me most of a day to figure out how to use the jquery datepicker, how
to create widgets, and how to just put it all together so that it
works!
class DateWidget(widgets.DateInput):
class Media:
js = ('js/jquery.js',
"js/date.js",
"js/jquery.datePicker.min-2.1.2.js",
"js_custom/date_widget.js",
)
css = {'all' : ('css/date_picker.css', 'css/
date_picker_chipvision.css') }
def __init__(self, attrs={}):
attrs['class'] = 'my_class_to_identify_datewidget'
super(DateWidget, self).__init__(format='%m/%d/%Y',
attrs=attrs)
Then I have a small .js file (js_custom/date_widget.js) that has this:
$(document).ready(function() {
Date.firstDayOfWeek = 0;
Date.format = 'mm/dd/yyyy';
$('.my_class_to_identify_datewidget').datePicker();
});
I'm not sure if settings Date.firstDayOfWeek and Date.format the way I
do is the best way to do it, but I could not figure out how to do it
via params to datePicker.
Anyway, hope this helps.
